Norma July 29, 2016 for Model Number Whirlpool We had a power outage and the fridge stopped working. I looked in the back and noticed the adc was burnt. I replaced it and it burnt the brand new part. What else can it be?
1 Answer Hello Norma. If the new part shorted out you will need to look for a short in the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Richard, You can either unplug the unit and prop the doors open or pull the tech sheet and force a defrost cycle. I'm sorry but I cannot pull any information with the model number provided as it is not coming up as a valid model number. If you could possibly please re-post with the model number from the units' I.D. tag, we will be happy to assist you further. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Jennifer June 05, 2015 for Model Number msd2651kgw My Maytag refrigerator is not working properly. The freezer bottom stays cold, but the refrigerator side is warm. We found that there was a solid block of ice on the coils in the freezer. So we unplugged it and thawed it out. Worked fine for a couple weeks and then the same thing started happening. Wondering where to start? Would it need an Adaptive Defrost control board? Or should we start with a thermostat? Help! Thanks! Jennifer
1 Answer Jennifer, You will want to test the defrost heater WP67004188 and defrost thermostat WP67004757 for continuity. If either one of these parts has no continuity then replace that part. If they both check ok then the adaptive defrost board would be the issue. The part number for the board is W11227239. Read More...
Peggy February 07, 2015 for Model Number PSD262LHEZ Freezer is staying cold and seems to work properly but the refrigerator itself is not staying cold.
1 Answer Hello Peggy, If there is a frost build-up in the rear wall for the freezer compartment, it will be a d3efrost issue. If there is no frost build-up, look for a fan not running and/or the damper being clogged with a frost build-up from an air leak from either the ice door or around a door seal. Read More...
Bruce July 25, 2014 for Model Number MSD2651HEB I'm having a defrost problem. I've check the continuity of the defrost thermostat and the heater and they are both ok. Does this make the ADAPTIVE DEFROST BOARD the problem and should I just go ahead can change it.
1 Answer Bruce, If you're sure the doors are sealing, the dispenser door is closing and sealing, and if the heater and thermostat check proper9as you mentioned) Then yes, you do need a new Adaptive Defrost Control Board W11227239 (ADC Board) Read More...
Craig March 25, 2014 for Model Number msd2641kes The compressor and condenser fan are running but the evaporator fan runs intermittently. It will run for a day or so and then quits, stays off for a day or so and then starts working again. I was thinking the evaporator motor was going out but now I am not so sure.
1 Answer Hello Craig. Test and see if there is power coming to the evaporator fan motor. If there is power there, and the motor does not run, you will need to replace the evaporator fan motor WPW10128551 in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
David December 26, 2013 for Model Number PSD266LHEW The compressor and fan don't run. The defrost adaptive control board has opened circuit. The pin next to open space burned open on circuit board. Any ideas what would cause the board to burn open at this location?
1 Answer Hello David, These boards are susceptible to damage from moisture. You should check the ice door and the door seals. If no leaks are located, you should just chock it up to a failed board. The only way I would be concerned is if the board burns out the same way every time. Then you might want to pull the tech sheet and trace the circuit for a possible high current draw from a component lacking the proper resistance. Read More...
Jonathan November 23, 2013 for Model Number MSD2641KEW My freezer works good and the bottom of my refrigerator gets cold but further up my refrigerator is luke warm at best. I've checked the vents up top and they are completely open. Where should I be looking or what should I be checking?
1 Answer Hello Jonathan. Check and see if the fan motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Steve September 13, 2013 for Model Number Maytag MSD2650KEU My refrigerator has stop working. The lights go on, but that's it. There is no cold air in either side and the frig is dead silent ( no fan or compressor noise). Thank you.
1 Answer Steve, This issue sounds like the unit is stuck in defrost. Unplug the unit for 5 minutes and then turn it back on. If the unit comes on then replace the defrost control board. Read More...
