1 Answer Reggie, at 50°F the resistance should read 199K ohms, 40°F should read 266.8K ohms, 30°F should read 343.5K ohms, 20°F should read 445.8K ohms, 10°F should read 616.3K ohms, 0°F should read 815K ohms, and -5°F should read 968K ohms. Read More...
Paul July 09, 2019 I have a Jennair JSD2695KES side by side. I've looked at the various diagrams and videos (these show over and under models) and I'm guessing the thermistor is located somewhere near the light and temp read out assembly based on diagrams. I see screws that could be removed to open the assembly but I don't see any slots that would make removal easy. Am I right about where the thermistor is located on this model?
1 Answer Paul, Yes, the thermistor is located in that area by the damper. I will send you a sheet of disassembly. Read More...
Kristen February 19, 2019 My stand alone kitchenaid ice maker is making too much ice? I’ve cleaned the bin sensor with soap and water.
1 Answer Kristen, you may have a bin sensor issue or a control issue. If you could provide the model number for your appliance, this will allow for the most accurate information to be provided. Read More...
Brian February 03, 2019 for Model Number GB2FHDXWQ05 Whirlpool bottom freezer. Freezer is working normal. Refrigerator stopped cooling. Refrigerator therrmistor has been replaced. but did not resolve. What would be the next component(s) to check and in what order would you check / replace?
1 Answer Brian, what you will want to do is to check the freezer section to make sure nothing is blocking air flow to the refrigerator. From there, you will then want to check to see if the damper is opening and letting air flow through. If you open the refrigerator door and press the door switch in, the lights should go off and everything should be running air through. If there is no air flow, then you will want to check the freezer evaporator to make sure that it is not congested with ice and then do an operations check on the fan assembly. The evaporator fan should be rotating. Read More...
Amanda December 24, 2018 for Model Number MFI2569VEM1 I need to replace the thermistor that's located in light assembly. How do I get to it?
1 Answer Amanda, First, remove power to the refrigerator, Clear and remove the top shelf(s). Squeeze the tabs on each side of the clear light cover /lens and pull the cover down to release it from the holding tabs. Remove the light bulb, Use a flat blade screwdriver to release the 4 tabs, insert the the blade into the slots and carefully pry out on the retainer clips. Use a clean or taped putty knife to carefully pry along the front edge of the housing, to release it from the front of the cabinet liner. Once out, disconnect the wiring harness from the cabinet wiring and set the assembly aside. Cut the wires at the thermistor and unclip the thermistor. Splice the two wires from the replacement to the cut wires and reverse the procedure. Read More...
Rob October 26, 2018 for Model Number GB2SHDXTS01 Hi. My vegetable drawer keeps freezing my food. Everything else seems to work fine. What is causing this problem? Thanks
1 Answer Rob, I sent you a tech sheet to test the thermistor in the refrigerator and the damper. Make sure the damper opens and closes. The thermistor reads the temps and tells the control what it needs,[more cooling or not]. And the damper supplies freezer air to cool the area. Read More...
Leonard July 31, 2018 for Model Number MFW2055YEM01 We've been dealing with a regular frosting up of the rear wall and coils in this bottom freezer Maytag. As the coils frost up it eventually reduces air flow to upper fridge. What surprised me was this: I placed a bluetooth thermometer in the fridge area. Every 3-4 hours the temp spikes (good because the cycle is working) -BUT- each after defrost cycle the fridge temp is a bit higher! After about 6 days the inside temp is up to 50 degrees! This happens in steps between the defrost spikes in temp. It's only on the last day that the frost is severe enough to hit the fan in the freezer! Is a part cutting off the defrost cycle too early??
1 Answer Leonard, you have a defrost problem where the heater is not coming on and melting the ice that forms on the evaporator, it is either a bad heating element or defrost control board, you can ohm out the heater but more than like likely you will need to replace the main control, part number is W11035836 Read More...
Jack W July 31, 2018 for Model Number MFI2067AEB I want to replace the thermistor which is located in the upper light assembly in the refrigerator section. I have searched high and low to find out how to remove the light assembly and have had no luck. Can you help? Thanks.
1 Answer Jack, If you grab the light shield you would pull it toward the rear of the unit. Then on the backside of the control there are 2 slots you put a flat blade screwdriver in and push the clips for the control to drop down. Read More...
Rodney June 19, 2018 for Model Number MFI2569VEM2 Freezer is over icing until slide bottom door cant open. Ice isn't melting in freezer.
1 Answer Rodney, If the freezer is icing over it would be recommended to make sure that the freezer door seal is sealing properly. If it is not then check for a issue with the rails for the freezer drawer being damaged. Read More...
James April 04, 2018 for Model Number MBF2254HEB The bottom freezer is much warmer than it should be. Replaced the compressor start device, still too warm. Upon further investigation, there was a large ice buildup behind the thermistor but above the coils. Removed all of this buildup, still to warm. what to try next? Bad thermistor? Bad defrost thermostat?
1 Answer Hello James. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the evaporator coils in the freezer. If so, 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...
