Jim June 15, 2013 for Model Number ars9168ab We shut our refrigerator off for one month, when we restarted it, it did not cool, freezer or refrig. Compressor is running, but the condensor fan is not running so we replaced the condensor fan. The condensor fan is now running and the compressor is running, but still not cooling. We took the evaporator panel off and noticed the evaporator motor fan not running and coils were cool only but not frozen in the freezer compartment. I checked the defrost timer knob when fridge was running, tuned it clockwise and the refrig stopped, turned a bit more and refridge started back up. Why is it not cooling? Do I need to change the evaporator motor? or defrost timer ? or do I have another more serious problem? compressor gets warm but not hot. Thanks Jim
1 Answer Jim, This issue sounds more like some type of sealed system issue involving a leak or a restriction in the sealed system refrigerant lines. Read More...
Brian February 26, 2013 for Model Number ET8WTKXKQ12 Im replacing the fan motor with a new one I got from you. Is the green wire ground and should the fan come on as soon as its pluged in?
1 Answer Hello Brian. Yes, the green wire is the ground wire. If the control is turned on in the unit, then the fan motor will come on when the unit is plugged in. On some models, there is a few seconds delay, and on other models, it is immediately. Read More...
Alain January 13, 2013 for Model Number W9RXNMFWS01 The freezer is too cold, the bottom seems to be too warm. the compressor seems to be working all the time. The fan is not working, but turn freely by hand. Also, lots of ice build-uo. I-ve already replace the bi-metal switch. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Alain, If the evaporator coils are getting impacted with frost then you will want to check your defrost heater to make sure it has continuity. Since you already replaced the defrost thermostat, if the heater checks ok then you will want to replace the defrost timer WP2314156. Read More...
Diana December 07, 2012 for Model Number MFF2577HES I'm replacing the evaporator motor. The old one does not have a grounding wire. The new one does. Where do I ground it?
1 Answer Hello Diana, The grounding wire on this unit will connect where there is a grounding wire on the left side right above the evaporator at the back wall. There is already a ground there just put that one there as well. Read More...
John S September 08, 2012 for Model Number jcb2280hes Hi, I am trying to replace the evaporator fan. The problem I have is that on the old one, there are two wires the go into the housing of the motor. The new one I received has 3 clips for the wires. I am not sure which wire clip is for the hot wire. Then again, the 2 wires are blue and white. Which is hot and which is not? I know which is the ground clip but the old one never had one. What do I do?
1 Answer Hello John. As long as the ground is in the correct location, the other two wires can go on either terminal of the fan motor WPW10189703. Read More...
Mike L. March 07, 2012 for Model Number SRD22S5E Freezer does not freeze, had tested and refrigerant ok.... Fan motor?
1 Answer Hi Mike. The evaporator fan motor part # WPW10189703 needs to always run when the compressor runs. If you see a definite complete frost pattern on all of the evap. coil surface then you can safely bet the freon is flowing well, (no ice ball restrictions). You need to use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to un-plug the fan electrical connector and test for 120 vac going to the fan motor. If there you need to replace the fan. If not then look at the wires at the plugs leading up to the control assy. part # R0161092 it sends the voltage to the fan and compressor. Thank You. Read More...
Allison March 06, 2012 Hi - My husband and I ordered this new evaporator motor AP4364011 because the fan in our freezer is not running any more (freezer is fine but fridge is not cooling enough)... Is the motor in the bottom of the fridge? Does this part come with the new wiring as well? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Allison. If you have a top mount unit, with the freezer on the top, the motor is located in the top behind the freezer wall. If you have a side by side, the motor is located in the middle behind the freezer wall. If you have a bottom mount freezer, the motor is located in the top of the freezer behind the freezer wall. The evaporator fan motor WPW10189703 does not come with any wires. You will use the wires on your unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
T. January 13, 2012 for Model Number er2chmxpq05 I recently removed the evaporator fan motor assembly thinking i could pick up a new one locally, however i had to order one. It came in today and i installed it but i'm not sure if i connected the wires correctly. Does it matter? the ground wire is the only wire i was sure about. Thanks
1 Answer Hello T. If the ground wire is grounded on the fan motor WPW10189703 to the spade, then it should be fine. Hope this helps. Read More...
Gregg January 04, 2012 for Model Number GR2FHTXVB01 I have had this fridge about 2-1/2 years and about 5 months ago I noticed that it defrosts I am guessing and drips water into the drip pan at the bottom alot more than I can remember my old one doing. I replaced the water filter right before this and woke up the next day to find water all over the floor. A local repairshop said that I could of pinched the oring on the filter or that the filter housing is cracked. I tought that was what was making the dripping noise. The water has been turned off since then. After I turned the water off I noticed the dripping going on. Why does it drip so much and could it defrosted enough to flood the floor or do you think that was from the filter?
1 Answer Hello Gregg. It sounds like the drain is clogged. Here is a link to our Repair Forum, this is a free service to our customers. Use this link to access the repair for your question.
