Good afternoon, thank you for having this awesome forum. I've been fighting this issue over a year with no luck. I've got a KRMF706ESS01 that will consistently freeze the freezer evap coils. The first time this happened, we noticed noise in the freezer cabinet. It turned out to be the fan...

I have a WRT148FZDW00 fridge, several years old. The auto defrost suddenly stopped working. However I can get the defrost heater to turn on in manual/diagnostic mode according to the service manual/sheet, by pressing the button in the fridge in the right sequence. So for now I have to defrost...

Hello, What could cause the burn at top and behind the refrigerant tube in the freezer? Last night the fridge tripped the GFCI. Tried another GFCI (possibly on the same circuit) and it tripped that too. But when I tried a regular outlet for few minutes I started smelling burning rubber or...

Fridge: GBS18KBMAWW Thanks to this thread I found out how to test to determine why the fridge/freezer was getting so much frost: https://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/threads/gds18sbrarss-ge-bottom-freezer-cold-and-fridge-warm.43500/ It has a new temp sensor but before I could test the...

My Kitchenaid 25 cu ft 36-width French Door Refrigerator is ( Kitchenaid Model Hyperlink ) Model KRFF305ESS. Recently the GFCI started to trip whenever the defrost mode was utilized. I replaced the GFCI, which was old, but the same issue persists. If I plug it in to a non-GFCI using an...

This has been a 4+ month long ordeal, so I'll try to summarize. 1st fridge was very old (over 25 years). Stopped cooling and everything in the freezer melted overnight and the fridge was warm (it was hot summer time). Had to toss most things. Landlord came to adjust some things. No change...

Hello, I have a Kenmore Elite with french doors, 106.54783803, manufactured June 2010. Every day, so much water drains out of the freezer that the drip pan underneath of it overflows (I can hear the water trickling out during the defrost cycle). I can see that excessive ice builds up on the...

Hi-- I've been working on my parents' Kenmore Elite 795.72053.118 (actually manufactured by LG) french door fridge (purchased 2013). Last summer (2019) they noticed some odd noises and found their fridge cooling coils were completely iced over, requiring them to manually defrost. They had to...

Short story/question: I'm looking for info on testing the DA47-00243K Bimetal defrost thermostat. Everything I know and have read about these devices is that should be closed when frozen and open when warmed above "room" temperature. For this specific device I believe these numbers to be open...

Hello, I've been reading threads about similar issues but I haven't found a clear answer to what the issue could be on my french door/lower freezer appliance. I first notice an issue with it in July of 2019. One weekend, I noticed the fan was running all the time for at least 24 hours. The...
