Compressor won’t run. No power to compressor.Do you think the computer board is bad or the thermostat dial control?

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

THE UNIT COOLS FINE, HOWEVER, THE “DOOR AJAR” ALARM LED IS LIT AND BEEPS. I HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS UNIT AND COULDN’T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHT CIRCUIT, WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY THE DOOR SWITCH. THIS LED ME TO BELIEVE THE FAULT WAS IN THE BOARD. I HAVE A NEW BOARD INSTALLED AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. ANY IDEAS? THANKS

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 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 ?

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 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 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.

Model – 253.26082100 Serial – WB63832311

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

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.

I changed the duck bill drain per you video (it was stopped up) and installed the new pea trap drain with no problem yesterday. I didn’t have time to get the ice out of the bottom till today..just finished doing that..I still had water on the floor this afternoon. Could it be because I didn’t get the ice out till today or am I frozen somewhere else?? I can see a frozen trickle of ice in the back right corner of the freezer. Thought about using a hairdryer in that area but I’m not sure if I should.

Everything checks out on this as far as components. I did find the drain line frozen and advised them to thaw for up to 48hrs to ensure it melted completely. For some reason I didn’t think this happened on these models very often and kept assuming to find an issue with a part. Should I just have them monitor for proper operation? Would be great to know this was the cause.

Hello, We have a freezer that doesn’t keep the temperature and everything thaws. We empty the freezer and then it starts working again.
We would like to know what is wrong, what parts we need to get, and need help in fixing it.
this has happened before, and it worked for a year and it happened again. It is definitely something that needs to be fixed and we want to repair it before we use it again.

Our 3 yr old upright frost free kenmore freezer (2845) seemed to be cooling erratically and I noticed ice build up on the freezer bottom floor. I cleaned the ice off the floor and checked for leaking food – none. The ice has returned. I looked at your videos and think the problem may be a clogged drain. However, I’m not sure how to get at the drain on this model. Thanks for the advice!
