Glen65 - Thanks so much for picking up on such a minute issue.
I will have to wait a couple weeks to compare the pdf to my situation, but could you answer 2 questions?
First - should I have replaced the cold control thermostat with the newer model as per yur first pdf service bulletin?
Second - once everything is correct, will the fan in the freezer still run all the time (except for defrost cyles) or when properly running, does the freezer fan only come on as dictated by the cold control thermostat?
Thanks again.

Something that should be checked is the
air damper assembly. Here’s a bulletin
about it.
|
|
|
It appears I have the older style, i.e. the one on the left in the image.
|
|
|
Which style of control box do you have on that unit - the old or newer style?
|
|
|
Need to revise earlier post about metal tube, which apparently was a component of my replacement thermostat.
Also just noticed something else...on my invoice, I see the part number AP3108492, but it's followed by (4387562) which is the same number referenced as the "old style" on you service announcement. Hope this sheds some light on my issue.

This is very interesting.
As I cannot look at the unit right now, I can only speak from memory, but I could swear that the spring type wire went around a metal tude, not a plastic tube when I was replacing the thermostat because I made every effort to have that wire go back into the exact same position as when I took it out.
I kept the old parts also and seem to remember that the tube was not part of the replacment thermostat (AP3108492) which I ordered from this site, and it did not come with the tube which meant I had to use what was in the back of the control panel.
Does this help?
If I read your pdf file correctly, and it was/is a metal tube - and I have already ordered a replacement themostat - do I need to ge the plastic tube, and if so, where can I get one?
Thanks again very much for being so knowledgable on this....

Take a look at the control assembly.
Then look at the pic in the service update
I have attached. Which one looks like yours?

Thanks for the response.
I would say the refrig is from around 1997-99 and these are the numbers I have:
Model - ET18NMXFW01
S/N - EG2028829
Type C18TFA97
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and thanks.
