I just purchased this fridge, but it didn't come with an owners manual, and I would like to know what settings to set the freezer and the refridgerator. When i plugged it in, the freezer automatically set at 8, and the fridge at 42. Are these the normal temperature settings? Thank you for your help! -Frank

Hi
Thanks for using
FixYa. Check to see whether the ice
maker has been turned off. Here's how to check. Look for a wire along the right
side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If this wire is in
the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. On some units you simply
lower the wire to the down position to turn the ice maker on. On others, you
lower a small red plastic lever to lower the wire. If the wire is in the proper
position check the freezer temperature, it should be between 0-8 degrees
Fahrenheit. If it is warmer than 10-12 degrees, the ice maker may not produce
any ice. Check your door seals and thermostat, repair/replace as necessary.
Also, check the water line attached
to the back of the refrigerator for good water flow. To do that, first turn off
the water supply valve. Then remove the water line from the back of the
refrigerator. Next, place the water line into a bucket and momentarily turn the
water valve back on to test the flow. If the flow is poor, you need to repair, clean,
or replace the tubing or the shut-off valve that supplies the water. If the
flow is good, you may have to replace the water inlet valve.
If still the issue is not resolved then remove the ice bin and wires from the auger
motor. With the freezer door open and the door switch depressed, push the ice
cube release and check for 120VAC between the motor wires. If there is 120VAC
then the motor has gone bad. If there is no 120VAC then the control board
(module time delay) has to be replaced.
You would need to unsnap (use a flathead screwdriver in the 2 little slots
underneath the bottom frame piece to unsnap it) the front dispenser frame. Then
look at support bracket to see if the little plastic pins are not broken that
hold ice and water dispenser switches in place.
If that looks ok, then you would need to use an ohm meter to test continuity in
ice dispenser switch. Replace whichever is required.
Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or
else revert for further assistance.
Thanks

Hello, The answer to these questions lies in the way the
freezer/fridge combo works. The freezer is where the cooling coils are located.
Then air is moved over the coils and circulated through the fridge side by a
small blower or fan. The problem arises when the air is not circulated for some
reason.

The reasons the air is not moving is usually two reasons
The first reason is pretty simple to fix, you simply replace the air circulator
and things are good again.
The second reason can be more difficult.
1. The timing device that runs the defrost cycle of the refrigerator is
defective.
2. The heater coil that melts the water is shorted or not working
Usually the first thing to check is the heater coil. If there is resistance
through the coil then most likely it is still good.
The timing device can be an advanced defrost control board or a mechanical
timing device.
If the heater coil checks out to be good then the problem should be the timer.
For most situations, unplugging the refrigerator and allowing it to defrost on
it's own will get you going temporarily, till parts can be shipped to you. That
will melt the ice and give you a few days or a couple of weeks till it ices up
to the point where it will not work again.
So you can see here, the problem can usually be traced to one of three things.
By methodically checking these parts you can isolate
your problem and fix it.
Take care.

SOURCE: the thermostat says one temperature
NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can
be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following.
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if FREEZER CONTROL is turned WARMER WHICH MAKES THE REF COLDER AND VICE-VERSA. SEE?
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
But is probably a common defrost problem The ice build up
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
Make sure back cover is on the fridge. Some take them off and throw them away.
make one out of cardboard if its gone, using the holes of the old one.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP
