Ice filter not changed in two years and existing small amount of cubes are small.
What is the method to cycle ice maker and perform test:
I will assume I have to fix a defrost thermostat/thermistor assembly. I need to be able to test and disassemble freezer back panel and ice maker Dissasembly.

I installed the updated drain fix kit and our freezer still accumulates a sheet of ice in the bottom which inturn leaks onto the floor. Do I need to defrost the freezer for this to be fixed or is there another issue? Our ice maker also stopped working, I’m not sure if that is related to this issue or not.
Many thanks!

I have a customer with an upright freezer. It stands taller than a regular fridge. Well I’ll get to the point. After diagnosing the problem, I proceeded to put the back evap cover panel back on AND I put the screw right thru the coil tubing. Ah s#~}%~~! I couldn’t believe that the screw hole was a 1/4 inch from the coil.
Well ” things happens” and it seems to happen to me an awful lot. The model / serial numbers that I gave to you, are barely readable, so I don’t even know IF they are correct. I offered to work something out with the customer, which turned out FOR ME to be a nightmare. She is a pack rat. It took me over an hour to remove the freezer from her house, because there was ONLY a path to get from one room to another. She had junk everywhere….
I took the freezer to a fellow repair tech that fixed the hole, blah blah blah. An hour after I dropped of her freezer, she called me to find out the status on it. One hour! I got several calls. So, I just stopped picking up the phone.
I offered to turn the case over to my insurance company but that was not an option…. So, I can’t tell you how many hours I spent trying to fix and satisfy this customer.
Here is my question, for further reference. I’m NOT going thru this again. Is there a website or something that I could use to determine the value of an appliance, and just pay the customer a fair price ?

THE UNIT SHUTS OFF AT ABOUT 30 DEGREE F. THE T-STAT IS A DISCONTINUED PART. I HAVE OTHER T-STATS BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR THE WIRING DIAGRAM SO I CAN FIGURE OUT IF ONE OF THESE OTHERS WILL WORK. THE T-STAT HAS 3 WIRES AND A GROUND. I’M THINKING ONE WIRE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEFROST CYCLE? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANKS
HAPPY NEW YEAR

As far as I can tell, there is a fan in the freezer that when the door is closed, it starts to spin and gets loud. When the freezer door is opened, it stops. There is also lots of ice starting to build up on the walls of the freezer.

I asked you last week about a Kenmore upright freezer that I determined to have a bad compressor. I got there and the temp in the freezer was 68*. I was told that it stopped freezing a few days ago, ( probably more than that ) and so I checked the evap/fan and it was working fine. So, I pulled it out and checked the compressor and it was so hot, I could barely touch it. I unplugged it for about 15 minutes and put a hard start on it, because the relay was bad. Let it run for about 20 minutes. Both the compressor and hard start were hot.
I was schooled to think that if the compressor is that HOT, and has been running like that for a while; that it’s NO GOOD. The reason is, as I was told, that the high temp breaks down the oils, etc in the compressor.
My customer had another freezer ( chest type ) and it was also NOT freezing. I opened the compressor panel and checked the temperature of the compressor and it was HOTTER than her upright. ( sho has a coffee plus shop ). I told her that both freezers were no good.
Anyways she called her refrigeration service people out. He told her, that the only thing wrong with the chest freezer is that it needs to be defrosted.
QUESTION: was I schooled correctly to think that if the compressor runs that hot for an ” unknown ” period of time that it is NO GOOD?

How can we check this? I really don’t want to buy a new one and think we can fix it.

I am not getting any power to the fan or compressor.
I disconnected the plug that leads from the power source to the box below the door switch.
there is power going into the box but not going out of it meaning supplying the compressor and fan ect

I have a Whirlpool Model GI6SDRXXQ02, Serial # K11191550 Refrigerator that accumulates ice below the freezer section about an 1/8″ thick and then water leaks out onto the floor as the freezer door has frost due to the icing. This just started this year and I have had this Ref. 6 or so years.

Display in door flashing CE. Disconnected / reconnected wiring harness from control board that goes to display. Did not changed anything . Found upon opening door slowly display would clear out CE and then come back as you moved door.
Suspect wiring harness in door problem. Parts breakdown shows harness in bottom of door, but no part number. Anybody come across this before? Are you able to replace this harness? Thanks in advance

This standalone freezer is not getting power to the compressor. Turned the defrost timer and still nothing. Not sure how to test the timer. Or test the cold control

I would like to know how to put this freezer into the defrost cycle. it was frosted up, so i took it apart and defrosted it. the heater was ok. the defrost thermostat read open even frozen in the ice. after I jiggled the wires a little then it showed good. I replaced it anyway. I would like to put an amp clamp on it while its cold and kick it into defrost to make sure its fixed. i know some of them you open the door a couple of times. I would like to know the sequence to put this one in defrost .

Frigidaire upright freezer control on door had an “8” and was not running. Unplugged freezer and it worked again. I suspect it was flashing “E” and “8”. I checked servicetips.com service manual, file name ends with 5995531505. It says E8 is a shorted thermistor. Do I need to go back and check this? Is replacing the thermistor the only part needed or is there a pcb/control (besides the one in the door) needing to be replaced?
I need some feedback from someone who has more experience with these freezers.
