The coil looks good. The part with #257 is the defrost timer which has nothing to do with your problem. There is nothing wrong with the defrost system.

There is something wrong with the air flow. Did you check the duct air return? Be sure the damper is wide open.

#424 is the temperature control which is has nothing to do with this problem too.

I removed the foam nozzle #426 from the wall #428 with no obstruction. Correct me if i'm wrong but if warmer freezer (sliding 428 to the left damper wide open) equals colder fridge what does #424 have to do with the fridge temp. It seems odd that this just failed with no movement of the damper.

If tha freezer temp control is set too high, can that cause the refregerator compartment to be too warm? What is the ideal setting for the freezer and the refer compartments for a Magic Chef model RB193PA?

jszczypien,

The temperature control (#424) does not operate with the damper control. It controls the temperature and operates with the compressor and fans. The damper control operates manually (the left knob on the control panel).

Did you check the duct air return yet?

Gene.

Hi Pat,

Can you be more specific on the problem? What is the complete model number of the refrigerator?

Gene.

Yeah, i checked it back on 7/4 it had some ice in it and removed it but the fridge still never got below 60. Last night, after removing/re-installing and inspecting the foam duct i moved the damper control to "Freezer Warmer" all the way to the left equalling fully open damper and it is colder this morning but i'm curious on how long this will last....

Do not play with these two knobs. Keep the temperatures under control,using a good mercury thermometers. Wait about 24 hours after any adjustment to see the result.
