defrost

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I would like some quick help from the knowledgeable mods here. In short, what is this part? I haven't seen it in any of the many websites I have looked. It's pulled from a GE Fridge PFSS6PKXESS, circled in red: I believe it should be the bimetal part 25 from...

Hi so yesterday I opened up my freezer and the light was off and I noticed frost all over the compartment. I then put the fridge in force-defrost mode and after a couple of cycles of that, it seemed to work since instead of frost it was just wet and the light turned on the next day (today). I...

I have a 17 year old KitchenAid KSRS25ILWH02 that is not defrosting. After thawing the evaporator coils, it stays cool for a couple of weeks, but then the frost builds up to a point it begins to warm again. I have entered the diagnostic cycle and confirmed in step 6 that the defrost heater...

Hello, About three years ago, my bottom freezer started to frost over. After some research, I found a couple of things that might be wrong. I replaced the defrost thermostat, and defrost/evaporator heater. I plugged my fridge back in and after a week or so, the freezer started to freeze up...

Hello everyone ! I'm new here :) I have problem with defrost on my refrigerator KFFS20EYMS00. Ice is forming and defrost doesn't seem to work at all. Ice need to be remove every week with an hair dryer. I tested the heater with a multimeter and there are continuity in the resistance. Maybe the...

Problem: My freezer continues to build up ice as seen through the louvers in the back panel. History: I had to remove this panel once already, as the entire evap core was a solid block of ice, and the fridge part had risen to about 55F one day. I found the tech sheet for this fridge and went...

Looking for some assistance, and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. As indicated in the title I have a KRFC302ESS KitchenAid fridge that was purchased just over 3 years ago. Up until this last week everything has been working fine. Issue started when the digital temp reading...

Thanks if you are reading this and able to help. The automatic defrost on my fridge is not working. I found a very helpful video that is helping me diagnose. Unfortunately I don't have the technical sheet that it references and haven't been able to find a place where I can get it. Can anyone...

Hey guys. did a search and nothing mentions this issue for this model. The unit is not defrosting. using the tech sheet i found how to force a defrost but it doesnt work. the fan in the freezer compartment runs. i tested the continuity of the coil and it seems fine. not sure what it could be...

Brand new WRS321SDHZ side-by-side is making a loud, periodic grinding noise that stops immediately when either fridge or freezer door is opened. Quite a bit of frost/ice is present behind the false wall inside the freezer itself. Therefore, I strongly suspect that something is up with the...

Hi. My refrigerator has been running fine. A little over a week ago, the fridge side turned warm while freezer side was cold. Checked and the coil on freezer side was packed with frost. Bi metal tested open (no continuity) with fridge off and defrosted. Also after running the coil a few...

Hello. My Inglis side-by-side is not defrosting. I have tested both the defrost heating element and thermostat for continuity and they both test as working. The defrost TIMER advances, but the heater does not come on. Is it possible for the timer to advance in and out of the defrost cycle...

Model Number: N/A Brand: -major brand- Age: More than 10 years My fridge recently had cooling problems, at first I thought it was the defrost heaters, but they checked out with the multimeter, so I took off the defrost thermostat without really thinking about wiring locations, completely forgot...

Hi! So my sub zero was getting warm in the fridge area so I'm on a mission to figure it out and fix it! First I cleaned out fan and compressor areas in the top of the unit. Second I removed the back cover and discovered the coils had completely frosted over. So I then left it open and defrosted...

Many people think the Adaptive Defrost Control only controls the Defrost cycle. It has 12 leads that are labeled evaporator fan, fresh food control, fresh food door, switch common, damper open, hot (black wire or 110 volts), defrost, frz cold control, compressor out, damper motor, neutral...

I have a KitchenAid refrigerator KBFA25ERBL with bottom freezer. It is not defrosting. I tested the defrost thermostat by cutting it out, leaving it on the counter till it warmed up. It showed open circuit. Then I put it in the chest freezer for a bit and it showed closed. I metered the...

My 2 year old Kenmore started developing a frosting issue in the freezer a couple of months ago. I investigated and found out that the defrost thermostat was bad and replaced it, but the frosting in the freezer continued. Defrost heater continuity is fine, and manually initiating a defrost...

We just bought a new French Door refrig 3 weeks ago, and the upper section for fresh food could not maintain the target 33 degree setting, and went up to 58 degrees, while the freezer and ice makers continued performing well. We moved our food out, and waited 3 days for a repairman to come. He...

I hate to start a new thread on such a worn out topic, but I am stumped. My fridge is not defrosting. Over the last several months it has frozen over various times, the first time at random, second time about a month later, (I just figured they were flukes) and it has gotten more often since...

The front side of the panel covering the coils in the freezer builds up ice crystals and behind the panel the top part of the coil builds up with ice. the fan begins to make noise after a while. I took off the back panel and defrosted manually with a hair dryer and that fixed the issue for about...
