Humberto December 19, 2021 for Model Number KBF A25ERSS Hi thanks for the programming instructions but, i have a problem, when i follow steps 1 and 2 the control display shows F-C instead of ,PE,what could be wrong, i believe i gave you the right model number.
1 Answer Humberto, When you do step 1 and 2 you need to push the door alarm, then push the freezer temp down keypad, then release the door alarm and wait 3 seconds. It should then go to the PE. If it is going to the F C then you held the door alarm key for too long before pushing the freezer temperature down button. Read More...
Humberto December 18, 2021 for Model Number KBF A25ERSS I replaced the electronic control board, how do you program the new one ?
Oleksandr August 13, 2020 for Model Number GX5FHDXVY Hello, I have forced my fridge into Defrost Mode and measured the Voltage incoming on the connectors towards the heating element ... getting 114 VAC. I have also measured about 27.6 Ohm of resistance on the element it self which sounds about right as well. I have made sure the connectors are OK and there is proper contact between them and the Connectors on the heating element as well but to no avail ... when forcing defrost the element does not heat up whatsoever ... My next step would be to test this elements straight at the power outlet and see if there is anything going on ... from what I understand this is the same voltage as the home AC Outlet ... I am suspecting the element is the issue, but I would like to avoid wasting time on spare element and shipping if I can :) Thank you
1 Answer Hello Oleksandr, the defrost heater is rated at having about 29 ohms so as per your measurement it is within specs, also you stated there was 114v to the wiring to the defrost heater. The heater can be tested with a test cord plugged into an electrical outlet. In case you have not yet done this next test, test for the 114v to the defrost heater with the heater connected to its wire harness in the freezer so as to put the defrost circuit under load.

Cjc May 09, 2020 for Model Number MFD2560HES My freezer evaporator coils keep frosting over every 3-4 days. I've replaced the freezer thermostat, thermistor, and the control board already. Would it be safe to assume the only thing left it could be is the freezer defrost heater needs to be replaced? Or what else could it be?
1 Answer CJC, it is possible that the defrost heater WP67002493 is not operating properly. The defrost heater can be tested for resistance and it should measure between 28 to 30O of resistance. Read More...
Carolyn November 08, 2014 for Model Number MFF2557HEQ How do you remove the coil in the bottom freezer in order to replace the defrost heater?
1 Answer Carolyn, There will be a couple of screws that hold the evaporator in place. on the brackets of the upper part of the rear of the freezer. Once you remove the screws you will need to carefully pull the evaporator enough to release the heater. Once the heater is removed you install the new one and carefully push evaporator back into place. Read More...
Chad June 13, 2013 for Model Number AFB2534DES I am having a similar issue to the other questions posted here (frosted freezer, warm fridge). I want to check the defrost heater for continuity, where do I do that? Do I unplug it from both sides and test there? I am not exactly sure where I should put the leads from the ohmmeter. Thanks.
2 Answers Hello Chad, The procedure is as follows: DEFROST HEATER CHECKING PROCEDURE Obtain an ohmmeter from your local store. We will be doing RESISTANCE checks. This is the safest way because the refrigerator is unplugged from the power source and avoids the possibility of receiving an electrical shock. Step 1 Set the ohmmeter scale to the lowest ohms setting and ZERO the meter. Step 2 Remove one wire at a time, carefully labeling each wire according to the location or terminal marking on the defrost heater. This procedure should assure that the right wire is reconnected to the right terminal after checking or replacing. Step 3 Touch and hold one ohmmeter probe to one of the terminals. Step 4 Touch the other ohmmeter probe to the other terminal. Step 5 The ohmmeter should show a reading between 10-1,000 ohms on the ohms scale. If not, the defrost heater is bad and needs replacing. Step 6 Reconnect the wires to the proper terminals as previously marked. Read More...

2 Answers Hello Chad. The heater is in the freezer. You unplug it and insert the leads of the meter into the heater wires to test it. 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...
Dan April 20, 2013 for Model Number amana fridge mod# afd2535fes2 Freezer cold but fridge warm. I disconnected icemaker and coil is frozen. On the icemaker harness there wires going to the icemaker plug and two green wires that come form the plug back around 4 inches. It has a push on connector but i dont know if this fell of of something or just and extra connection for future use. The fridge is roughly 5-6 years old. do you think I should put back together after it thaws and see what happens? dont have an OHMs meter and not electrically savvy. Thanks Dan
1 Answer Dan, Once you thaw out the coils, you can check to see if theres a loose green wire, green wires are usually ground wires and you may have an extra connector for other components not in your refrigerator. You're going to need a multi meter TJMA-DM1 so you can determine which component(s)in the defrost system has failed. This link will give you an idea of how to use a meter [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html] and we can and will supply the information you'll need to test the components and diagnose and repair your refrigerator.

Scott May 19, 2011 for Model Number abl2522fes Yes, did this already. Need to know what the rating is for the heater. The reading was 27 - 28 for ap4078863. Do I cut the wires to the thermostat ap4078076 to test it? My concern is how to reconnect the wires. Typically I would use a wire nut but in the cold environment I'm not sure. THank you
1 Answer Hello Scott. The heater is good. You will need to cut the wires to test the thermostat. You can use butt splice connectors TJMA02014-1 to put the wires back together. Hope this helps. Read More...
Scott May 19, 2011 for Model Number ABL2522FES Bottom mount freezer freezing but the frig is not cooling as frost builds on the evaporator. Manually defrosting allows proper cooling in the frig for about 2 weeks. I tested the evaporator heater and the reading is 27-28. From my research I believe the problem is the defrost system, but I don't know how to test the thermostat and if this unit has a electonic defrost timer or mechanical. I believe these are the three components to check. Still researching. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Scott. You will need to remove the back wall of the freezer and test the heater WP67002493 and the thermostat WP67003426. They should read closed for continuity when cold. If they are good, you will need to replace the control board WPW10503278. You can test this 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...
