So it's not cooling good or is it just the fresh food icemaker not working? Do u see frost inside the ice compartment on bottom of icemaker if u take the ice bin out? Also if fresh food section is not cooling good, are u seeing any water up under the bottom drawer in fresh food section?
Model numbers are found on the inside wall of the fresh food compartment around the door or on the back of your refrigerator. What is your model number? Appliance 911
jrez's answer is for toploaders... you said you have a drawer, so it's a front loader.
The softener is usually taken up by a syphon. This can be removed from the drawer assembly for cleaning, when they clog they can't syphon.
While the machine is taking water for the last rinse, some of the incoming water is sent via the softener compartment. As softener is thick, without a syphon the softener would just sit in the bottom of the compartment and the fresh water would just skim off the top.
SO: Check the drawer after the final rinse.. if the softener compartment is full to the brim, the syphon is blocked. OR .. if there's just the same amount of softener as when you started the cycle, you have a filling problem instead.
Filling problem can be for two reasons: early machines had one water valve, and a flap which squirted water into the various compartments, operated by a linkage from the timer - this linkage can break, the spring can fall off, all mechanical. Later machines use a separate water valve, and this can fail shut.
You may have an issue with the temperature control assembly. Check the temperature settings (ideally at "one-half way" for both fresh food and freezer compartments).
Good day, One user claims that the return air vents or vent located at the bottom rear of the fresh food compartment, have collected enough junk to block the cold air from returning to the freezer compartment. You can clean them out but I cannot verify that solution.
The crispers are located in the coldest part of the fresh food compartment. This problem can occur when the machine gets light usage especially in colder weather, when the machine running time drops and the air in the fresh food stratifies, causing to cold air to pool in the bottom.
Normal may no longer be normal. Controls by their design will tend to run colder as they age. You might try tweaking the control warmer. Patience and time are the most important tool you have to work with in dealing with this issue.
Your model should have an Adaptive defrost control located inside the fresh food compartment. That is the most likely reason for your problems with your defrost problems. If you are able to reset that leaves me curious. To get the proper air circulation we will need to get the defrost working on time, and clean around the condenser below the refrigerator. Once the ADC is replaced the refrigerator should begin to operate more efficiently and these problems will resolve themselves as long as door seals and temperature setting may need to be returned to there normal settings. The part number for the Adaptive Defrost is Part Number 1036287 I will assist you in the repair if you like, Thanks, Sea Breeze
Is it all areas of the fresh food side that are freezing your items, or is it the drawer area?
There is a direct connection (on my GE side-by-side, at least) between the freezer compartment and the drawers in the fresh food compartment. The size of the connection is controlled with a wheel or a slider. This could contribute to freezing in that area of the fresh food compartment.
Otherwise, it could be the temp sensor(s) in the fresh food compartment. If the computer thinks the temp is too high in the fresh food compartment, it will continue to cool.
It could be a problem with the motorized door that connects the freezer compartment to the fresh food compartment, located at the top of the dividing wall between the compartment. That door should close when the temp in the fresh food compartment is cold enough. If that door mechanism has failed, is disconnected, or otherwise blocked in the open position, cold air from the freezer compartment will continue to circulate into the fresh food compartment.
yes they can be disassembled but it should not be special temperature drawer or zone which can be independetly controled otherwise you can change the temperature deviation in the compartment which can lead colder temp or below freezing .not good for the fresh food.
Inside your refrigerator is a control on left side of the panel. Try to adjust there and try to close the dampers near the lower drawer bins. If that don't work change the temp a little higher in the fresh food compartment. But closing the ducts should do the thing. Let me know, Thanks Sea Breeze
