Arkabee September 20, 2011 for Model Number 1069738382 This a follow up to earlier question. Before removing the rear panel in the freezer, it had ice build up on the freezer side near the icemaker. There must be a heater in that area which is not be working. If so what is part number and how do I replace it? Are there other parts that could cause this problem?
1 Answer Hello Arkabee. No, there is no heater by the icemaker. Make sure the door is sealing properly and the gasket is good. if not, it can cause the ice to build up. You will need to replace the gasket 2188461A if it is bad. Hope this helps. Read More...
Arkabee September 20, 2011 for Model Number 1069738382 icemaker stops after 3 days. Removed the back liner and find the area around the water inlet frozen. What heater is not working and how do I replace it?
1 Answer Arkabee, There is no heater for the inlet tube. You need to consider repalcing the icemaker fill valve WP2315576 and check and seal the water inlet grommet(on the back of the refrigerator)with a caulking compound or sealant. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Long September 01, 2011 for Model Number ET1MTEXLQ02 Hi I seem to have a problem with a defrost system because ice collects around the heater and blocks all the vent. First I check the heater with ohm meter ,it does show I have a continuity. Then I check the bimetal defrost and it does show I have a open circut. I order new bimetal defrost replace it. I still have a same problem with ice after 2 weeks ice will collected around the vent. *How many ohm for the heater? . The timer where it is located?
1 Answer Hi Long. The timer is actually called a Adaptive Defrost Control Board that monitors much more than defrost. They have upgraded these boards lately so they are better. This part # is WP2304099. It is located in the controls on the left side of the cabinet. The defrost element ohms out to 11-28 ohms as long it is not open. If you tested the bimetal while it was room temperature and found it closed you need to replace it with part # WP4387503. Thank you. Read More...
Freezer August 01, 2011 for Model Number et22dkxdwo1 How do I connect a new bimetal defrost to the old housing?
1 Answer Hello Freezer. You will need to cut the wires of the old bimetal and splice in the new bimetal WP4387503. Then the bimetal clips onto the copper line on the top of the evaporator assembly. Hope this helps. Read More...

E. Davis April 20, 2011 for Model Number 106.9750383 My Refrig. is freazing up in the back of freazer, starting to run all the time, is it the Bimetal defrost that controles this or the module part 2169337? If its the Module where is it located?
1 Answer Hello E. Davis. You will need to test the heater WP2315530 and the bimetal WP4387503 and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity when cold. If one of these are open, they are bad. If they both are good, then you will need to replace the defrost timer WP2183400. It is located inside the control assembly. You will need to remove the screws holding the control assembly in place to access the timer. You can test the heater and bimetal with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Shawn March 01, 2011 My refrigerator is condensating and all the water is draining down the duct work in the back of the fridge. I just got done removing the panels and vacuuming it all out (compressor and coil area). Why is it doing this? Is something wrong with the auto defrost?
1 Answer You will need to check the drain assembly under the evaporator coils to see if it is stopped up. This can cause the problem your having. Read More...
