Steve September 13, 2011 for Model Number msd26557hew Hi. Refrigerator one day came home and the freezer was thawed out ,compressor kicking in and out .Ran the test on the control board and the # were not right for what the manual said the should be . Ordered new board and compressor still kicking in and out ordered the starting device ap4079373 and ap4074064 run capacitor .What do you think? Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt , no more it doeasnt than does.
1 Answer Hello Steve. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the compressor W10160407 is bad and will need to be replaced. It sounds like it is building up pressure and is not starting properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Butch September 06, 2011 for Model Number mff2557hew Damper is only closing part of the time can't find themostat or control for damper.
1 Answer Hi Butch. The elect. control is located with the fresh food / freezer controls internally. This part # is WPW10503278. The thermistor is part # 12002355. They will sense cavity temperatures and then send information accordingly to output control fan speeds and the damper part # WPW10196393. Usually each thermistor and the damper is what is replaced. Thank you. Read More...
Sylvester August 08, 2011 for Model Number MSD2657HEW I ordered a thermistor per this diagrams! I tested the control damper /ap4079111/ as You advised and it is worked! I was suprised that I did not find any thermistor inside the light module> So where it is if this model has one. My problem that the refrigirator compressor runnin g all the time, not switching in or out. The refrigirator five years old and this is the second time that this is happening! First the control panel and the dumper was replaced 2 years ago. Is that normal this problem???
1 Answer Hi Sylvester. Is there any frost on the back wall of your freezer? If so you have a defrost failure that is "normal' with any man made parts. You will need to change the defrost heater if it doesn't ohm out to 8-22 ohms on a ohm meter. This part is part # WP67004188. Also your defrost thermostat should read closed under frozen conditions. If it is open (with an ohm meter) then this part # is WP67004188. If all of these test good then the frost build up on the evaporator coils are because the A.D.C. control did not command defrost to happen. This part # is WPW10503278. Thank you. Read More...
Alix May 25, 2011 for Model Number MBF2556KEW The freezer freezes up and the fridge stops cooling but the freezer is icing up. Could this be my problem? Everything in the freezer is still frozen but in the fridge it is warm.
1 Answer Hello Alix! It seems as if you have a defrost system issue. The defrost system is made up of three parts; defrost heater WP67002493, defrost thermostat WP67003426 and the defrost timer (on your model the timer is within the electronic control) WPW10503278. You can test these parts with a multimeter MA-DM1. Here is a link from our free repair forum you can refer to for help with using a multi meter. Hope this helps, thaks! http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Gretchen April 27, 2011 for Model Number MBF 2255KEB (Maytag) Hi, I hope you can help me detect if this is what I need. Maytag is only 5 years old. About 2 years ago I replaced the control board because the freezer was freezing up and not defrosting. It worked, hence I plugged it into a good surge protector after reading they are prone to blowing after power surges. Now, am facing similar problem again. Freezer is too cold even on a low setting, not seeing tons of ice YET. So last week I replaced the little defrost thermostat that was clipped onto the copper line in the back of the freezer. I talked to an appliance man here who said sounds like the control board, but its only two years old. Any chance it is the thermistor or something else before I spend $100 on ANOTHER stinkin board??? Thanks for any help you can offer.
1 Answer Hello Gretchen. You will need to test the themister and see if it is good. Here is a chart to go by when testing. If it is out of range, it will need to be replaced. Thermistor Temperature Resistance 77°F..................10,000 ohms 36°F..................29,500 ohms 0°F....................86,300 ohms 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...
