Hello.
Two months ago we had to replace the evap fan on our unit and it has been working well ever since.
A few days ago the temperature alarm sounded and when I tried to turn it off I discovered that the control panel appears locked - none of the controls can be changed. It does show that the temperature displays for the refrigerator and freezer change if we open and close the doors, but I cannot change the numbers by pressing on the control panel.
The temperature display indicates that the freezer is operating at 4 degrees and everything is frozen, however, I have noticed that there isn't any visible cold air flowing out of the freezer when I open the door - and this is new. I also feel like the freezer is operating more quiet than normal.
I unplugged the unit for 6 minutes and plugged it back in to see if it would reset, however, the control panel is still not working.
Since we just paid 400.00 to replace the eval fan I would like to try to fix it on my own, any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Brandon

Hello, if the unit is receiving power check the capacitor, this is a round or oval can located inside the control panel of the Ac, it controls the fan and compressor operation.
Door lock mechanism is broken or removed from door.
Door switch/lock unit failure.
1. Check door switch/lock unit.
2. Check the wire harness
connections of the door switch/lock unit to the
Central Control Unit (CCU).

Shut down your refrigerator and unplug it for a few minutes - plug it back in and turn back on to see if it resets your control board - if problem persists you may have to get it serviced and have them check the control board, evap fan and defrost timer. there should be no frost build up in your freezer, if your unit is a frost free, auto defrost, it should go through a defrost cycle. maybe your evap fan is plugged up with ice buildup or if your evap fan is working properly, a control board issue.
yes that does sound like a bad evap fan motor then unable to circulate air aorund and off hte evap thus building up frost.you can pull the wire leads of the fan motor and ck for 110v. to confirm that you are indeed getting power to the motor.
I have the he4t and everytime I wash I get an f02 error. The washer wont drain and spin unless you cancel and restart the washer. What can I do to fix this?
Heyy!!! A evap fan motor works in conjuction with compressor and condenser fan. If you purchased the unit new, then it should have a electrical schematic, post this, or you can interpret sketch, it will show you the details on what controls it.
You can also sniff this motor and check it is burnt out. And by pass the leads to motor and check if it operates properly, replace if bad. Post your results if you want further help....Regards fmauka
We bought a Kenmore Elite Trio 596.76533500 from Sears in 2006. A few months passed and the Elite broke down. The tech person came out and found that the AC Evaporative Fan was inoperable. It was replaced (part #67003917). A few months later the same thing happened. But before they came out, I spoke to the tech person on the phone who seemed very familiar with the fan. He said that they've had numerous problems with that fan model and would bring out an older-type one that had fewer sensors and that was less prone to failure. The "motor evap" part #2214986 (Whirlpool compatible) was put in and everything has been working since... Hope this helps...
