Jeff G. April 07, 2017 for Model Number ARS2666AC Need the location of the Defrost timer. It is not in the condenser area and I have replaced the start Capacitor & Start relay and the defrost thermostat & condenser fan motor. Is it in the refrigerator side? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jeff, Remove the kick panel from the bottom front of the unit. This is easiest done with the doors opened. You will see a galvanized metal box near the center , under the unit which contains the defrost timer. Read More...

Roxann June 17, 2016 for Model Number MBR1956KES My maytag refrigerator has a bottom freezer. My freezer will keep temp but freeze up in the back the blower is blowing but the frig part get warm and doesn't hold temp. This goes on for about a week. Then the frig starts working and a few weeks later it happens again. What causes this issue.
1 Answer RoxAnn, You will need to check to see if the evaporator coils are iced over. If the coils are iced up then this would be a defrost system failure. The most likely cause will be a faulty control board on the unit. Read More...
Jim Smith June 01, 2015 for Model Number whirlpool gx5fhtxvq03 bottom of freezer fills with water then freezes thought heater
1 Answer Jim, Good guess but probably wrong. You most likely have a clogged or frozen defrost drain tube W10619951 When the refrigerator defrosts the water cant drain and seeps out under the evaporator cover and onto the freezer floor. You'll need to remove the back wall, and de ice the drain pan and tube and check for a clog in the tube itself. Read More...
Randy November 10, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool Refridge My ole faithful Whirlpool fridge has stop cooling and freezing properly. Freezer is at approx. 33 degrees and fridge approx. 45 degrees. Any suggestions? Thanks!
1 Answer Randy, Open the freezer door, remove articles off a couple of the freezer shelves and check for heavy frost or ice on the back wall of the freezer compartment. If frost or ice is present you have a defrost issue, and the air isn't circulating properly to cool the compartments. When you open the freezer door, you should hear or feel the evaporator fan circulating the air, if the compressor is running. If not running and no frost or ice, you'll need to check the evaporator fan. Read More...
Steve N October 20, 2014 for Model Number SCD22TBW I have an amada SCD22TBW model P1303511W. When it works, it works fine for a few days, then doesn't work anymore. The cooler isn't cold enough and I notice that the freezer coils are frosted/covered with ice. Sometimes, I unplugged the unit for a few hours and plugged it back and it would work again for a few days. I notice when it doesn't work, the ice is melting and dripping down. I am not sure it is the thermostat or the timer, or the fan that is bad. Also, when I checked the air flow in the cooler I don't feel that the air is blowing. Thanks for you help.
1 Answer Steve, With the evaporator frosting up you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Bill October 13, 2014 for Model Number 596.58395890 Looking for location of defrost timer and a video if available. Took the control knobs and panel down in fridge section (side/side) Not sure of next step--
1 Answer Bill, The defrost timer on your refrigerator is located on the base of the front of the refrigerator behind the kick plate grille. Once you remove power to the refrigerator and remove the grille on the bottom of the refrigerator, you'll see a bracket attached to the inside of the frame on the center brace. Remove the two screws holding the bracket to the frame and slide the assembly out. Remove the two screws mounting the timer to the bracket and reverse the process to install. Read More...
