We have a Admiral Top Freezer Refrigerator Model#

We have a Admiral Top Freezer Refrigerator Model# LTF2112ARB Ser# 54685160JL The freezer is working fine. But the fridge quit working about a week ago, it's on the highest setting and still no luck? What should I do?

  • Jorgie  the appliance guy

    the highest setting will do exactly what ur problem is? the highest setting is not optimal should be set on medium. however u may have a defrost timer or defrost terminator issues? as well as bad thermistors in fridge or freezer. cold control thrmostat may also be defective. by the way just because a freezer is cold does not mean its working fine? a bad timer or terminator will cause it to freeze alot and to much actually but u will think its ok when its not? lastly ur heating element may be bad also

  • Jorgie  the appliance guy

    also remember check the air flow control vent and knob settings

You need to defrost the fridge, turn off the fridge for 5 to 6 hours and open the door to Aug. well defrost. After this period must be powered On fridge if you will improve work that is poured in the cold air will mean the problem is defrosting timer, defrosting or defrosting element termostsat

    do not listen to this person. you may get temporary cooling but the problem wil still be there. if your unit does not derost then you will nee either a defrost thermostat, or a timer most likely a thermostat and second a timer /control.

    Zwiebel Mr.Tom do not have respect for anyone. Firstly, if you are using a "do not listen to this person . Secondly, if the ice melts , of course you get temporary cooling but the issue wil still be there . This just proves the defrosting system has a problem that needs to fix and can be pointed to one of the components : defrost thermostat and timer or defrosting heater .Thirdly, this type does not have a defrost control board do not know what you want to prove it? ? ? .http://www.appliancepartspros.com/09-wir...
    Please go to this page and watch the electrical diagram of the fridge there is very beautifully shown in the diagram is not defrosting board , but derosting timer. The difference is defrosting board costs about 100 to 140 $ this depends on the type of fridge , but defrosting timer is a huge difference in price is 10 to $ 30 this depends on the type of fridge . it is called (make businesses ) ? ? . Rating yourself first , evaluate others later . Do not use the words " I'm sorry " because you do not know what that means. I think you learn so much should be enough .Do not spoil the opinion of the other

Sounds like a defrost problem. if the freezer section gets too much frost build up then it wont be able to move air into the refr section. check to see if you have "heavy" frost in the freezer and if so then a defrost thermostat or a defrost control board may be you problem.

SOURCE: my refrigerator won't stay cool but my freezer works fine

You have something wrong with the vent going from the freezer to the fridge. You probably have a defrost problem and ice is blocking the vent that goes from the freezer and comes out in the roof of the rerigerator compartment. Replace your defrost timer and bimetal.

SOURCE: Zanussi fridge freezer - fridge not working

The defrost cycle is not happening like it should, that's what causes the block of ice (and poor air flow). If you have all that defrosted look at the defrost bi-metal, it usually is a small round disk with a couple wires coming out of it and it's clipped on the coils. When it's cold enough, it passes electricity to the heat elements, when it gets hot enough it "opens" and kills power to the heat elements. If that is bad (swollen cracked or bloated) and not passing electricity to the elements that's the problem. Another item would be the defrost timer itself, if it doesn't work (no clock motor turning) then it will never go into defrost. And the last and usually least expected failure would be the heat element themselves not working

I have an Admiral top=freezer refrigerator model LTF2112AR. Suddenly, this evening, the motor in the back of the freezer began making continuous noises, it sounds like a grinding noise, but it is still...

Is the compressor making the noise or is it the fan motor that is making the noise. If the compressor then you are looking at over $500 for replacement and you will have to decide if your refrigerator is worth that type of investment.

But if it is the fan motor, then you could replace it yourself. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5170333 Item 11 is the fan motor and you could replace it. The compresson is item 1 and would require a trained person to replace it.

We have an Admiral top freezer refrigerator. Freezer is working refrigerator is running at 60 degrees.

If there is no ice on the back wall of the freezer, make sure the freezer fan motor is running. If there is ice on the back wall of the freezer repair the defrost components. Timer,heater,thermostat.
