Mike April 13, 2024 for Model Number RFG237AARS/XAA My refrigerator and freezer temperatures are cycling up and down. Fridge is cycling from 48F to 58F (set temp is 38F) and the freezer is cycling from 18F to 28F (set temp is -3F). This is after I already replaced the two evaporator fan motors and the defrost thermostat in the freezer compartment, so this didn’t fix the temp fluctuation problem.
1 Answer Mike, You will want to test the thermistors in the refrigerator and freezer section. If they are good then this will be a control board issue. Read More...
John Stock July 01, 2023 for Model Number RF4287HABP/XAA My freezer is icing up to where I have a skating rink underneath the freezer drawer. I'm sure it needs a temerature sensor #AP4979323. I think I will replace the defrost heater sheath #DA47-00318A/AP5306780. Are these the most common parts neeeded to stop this from happening again?
1 Answer John, Your drain port is clogged under the evaporator and you will want to clean it out and get all the ice out. Then go to the back of the unit and clean out the drain tubes. Read More...
Martha June 19, 2023 for Model Number RF263AEWP/XAA The temperature display is blinking from one number to another and the heat saver is no longer lit. Is there a way to repair?
1 Answer Hello Martha, unfortunately, there is no repair for this part and the manufacturer has discontinued production of the part (DA97-07049Q). Read More...
1 Answer Rich, You would want to use the thermistor that the manufacturer recommends for your unit. There are a couple of differences in these but the biggest thing will be the connector may not work for plugging it up. Read More...
Steve June 17, 2022 for Model Number RF217ACRS/XAA My Freezer was registering -2F and ice cream and other things were soft. I Disconnected the fridge for 2 days and restarted now the freezer registers -25F but is not cooling. The refrigerator is now 50 degrees and dropping. But the freezer is still warm. I'm thinking it might be the freezer temperature sensor?
1 Answer Steve, that is not likely on this model. I am guessing the compressor is not running or that you have a freon leak. You should look for your tech sheet and run diagnostics to help determine the issue. Read More...
1 Answer Jon, These thermistors appear to be the same with the only difference that is seen is the length of the wires. Read More...
Joe April 19, 2021 for Model Number RFG297ABBP/XAA Both the refrigerator and freezer are not cooling properly. It is intermittent, sometimes they will feel fine others times everything is defrosting. Seems to happen daily. If you push the temperature on the front panel it will read the right temp but the fridge and freezer are warm.
1 Answer Joe, Check to make sure the fans and the compressor are running, then check the frost pattern on the evaporator assembly. The frost pattern should be a light even bit of frost from top to bottom. If the evaporator is fully impacted with frost you could have a defrost issue, or if it is only partially frosted or none at all you could have a sealed system issue. Read More...
Tempquery April 17, 2021 for Model Number RF23HCEDBSR/AA What does the last letter mean or even the numeric digits on all these temp sensors? DA32-00006S or R etc. DA32-10104N I want to replace my DA32-10104N temp sensor however I want one with a longer cable to place lower on the evap coil like many videos suggest. Do the letters refer to an actual temp (ohm rating) value on each one?
1 Answer TempQuery, In a lot of cases, the letter at the end is a revision that was done on the part or a manufacturer change. Read More...
Peter M June 16, 2020 for Model Number RB217ACBP Freezer condenser coils room temp, refrigerator working well? I took off the freezer condenser cover and the condenser was at room temperature, does this sound like a condenser problem or a control issue...Please advise..Thank You ... Peter
1 Answer Peter, With there being no frost on the evaporator coils in the freezer you will need to have service due to a sealed system issue. Read More...
Jack January 13, 2020 for Model Number RF263BEAESG/AA We started to have issues with the pantry freezing up all the items in the pantry. I replaced the damper and this seemed to help for a little while. The items have not froze again but now the back panel with the coil is freezing and causing noise from the ice hitting the fan and the front door temp has not worked, always showing 80* when we have it set to 40*. The internal temp has been about 45* when measured with a thermometer. I have watched all three videos on replacing all three temp sensors...is this the correct approach to fix these issues?
1 Answer Jack, the refrigerator sensor DA32-10105X would need to be tested to verify if they have failed or if there may be another issue. The sensor would be tested by unplugging the power cord, disconnection connector CN30, placing the black probe of a meter at connection 76 pin 1 (gray wire) and the red probe at connection CN30 pin 6 (the yellow wire that is next to pink wire). At 45°F, the resistance should be between 9,596 to 9,986O of resistance. The defrost sensor DA32-10104N would also need to be tested for resistance and would be best tested directly at the sensor so that an accurate temperature measurement can be gathered from where it sits (refrigerator sensor tested from control due to warm air rushing to the cabin and preventing accuracy).
