yes it is frost free refrigerator

Hi,

As the weather is getting warmer for many people their freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...

Check out this tip that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...

you will need to replace the main control board located on the rear panel behind an access panel,this board controls all temps and digital readouts,when the readout goes dark this board is the culprit

You should have a tag / sticker on or near the compressor. This will tell you the info for servicing
I hope this helps:).

you need to remove the rear access panel inside the freezer and find the defrost heater and check this and see if the element is open,it is under and the side s of the evaporator,and if this is good you need to see if the defrost timer or adaptive defrost board is bad

normally, most freezers will accumulate frost . it can't really be helped. however , the amount of frost can be controlled as it is basically a by-product of three things . 1.how often you open the door, 2.how well the door seals, and finally, 3.how well the food is sealed before it is frozen.

call tech. support

Cleaned the condensor coils? If not locate the coils either underneath (open both doors and remove the toe kick) or in the rear (remove the back panel). Use a vaccum or long brush to get any dust, hair or debris off these coils. These coils are allowing the refrigerant to cool down and if hair or dust is all over them they cant release the heat efficently. This kind of stuff will insulate the coils and the heat cant escape or release. Otherwise you are dealing with a freon issue. If the unit is running but not cooling correctly anylonger it probably has lost some freon and will continue to lose it. Hopefully this helps.

Believe it or not, this is pretty normal.

Look at the compressor. On it you will see a voltage rating, this is usually on a sticker or metal plate on compressor. Whatever the compressor is rated at is what you need as a power source.

all you need is a head set where you can buy at any computer shop, it is a plug and play type so you won't need any software to install it, all you have to do is plug it the port where there is a sign for mic and eraphone or much better look at the color coding.

if you want seperately , then you can just buy a microphone seperately

Yes, I have a solution for you/them, tell them to buy weather-proof sound curtains you can get these @ grainger.com and or mcmaster-carr. these work great and are cheap........

The board will not fix the problem if the heater or the hi temp limit is bad. It sounds like the "computer" is not the problem. Have someone come out and diagnose the problem.

no sealer and its just as simple as you suggest

hi,

the temp should be around 35-40 in the fresh side and below freezing in the freezer. If the probe is positioned wrong then it may not shut off. Does the probe need to be in the freezer compartment?If the freon level is wrong then the freezer may not get cold enough to shut down the control tstat. The low side pressure should be around 5 PSI.


thank you for using fixya,rate my answer

There can be several reasons to it.
1.Dust collection can create such a thing but it does not happen directly you should understand the performance loss with in time.
2.Gas leakeage in the cooling circuit.(You need a technican to correct it)It happens due to corrosion.
3.Compressor failure.(This is really a small percentage)
4.If this is a no frost appliance not properly closed door.Make the evap blocked.You can unload the appliance.unplug wait for a day then start again.

try door switches

give me the model number and I will tell you where it is and give you a web page for where it is located and when you do get this info pleas rate for the help for free question. I will be waiting for the model number. the ice maker is fed threw the same line as the water. and is connected at the back.
