Hi Gene, I have a Kenmore Refrigerator and the Model # is 25352642303. I noticed the constant clicking noise from the top-left side of refrigerator before evaporator fan finally runs. I think the Adaptive Defrost Control unit is bad and ordered a brand new one (Part #: 5303918476). After removed the old ADC out, I found out I have to use the new wiring harness, too. The problem is that the new harness does not have a two-pin connector for fast ice/fast freeze heater (from freezer side). The weird thing is that the installation instruction sheet (Note 4) indicates such connector should be on new harness. But I just can't find it. I went back to ADC IV kit page and can't find it in the picture either:

How do I proceed? Should I leave the fast ice/fast freeze heater unconnected?

Thanks.

Hello,

I believe it should the black plug with the blue & red wires connected to.

Thanks for your reply. No, the one you referred is for damper motor. As you can see, there are 4 connectors on the wiring picture (not including plugs for ground and front thermostats): two at left-lower corner are the damper position switch and 9-pin connector. The center one (black) is for damper motor. The upper left connector is for ADC IV.

I never used "rapid ice" feature on my refrigerator. Is it ok to leave connector for fast ice/fast freeze heater unconnected?

You are right about this plug. I reviewed all pictures available on the web and nowhere this plug is shown.

I'm going to transfer this information to APP research department and someone will contact you in a few days.

In the other thread: How to force my refrigerator into defrost cycle which you opened on 12/20, in the post dated 12/21 you said that everything is working fine after you replaced the ADC, while in the current thread you saying that you having problems to install the new ADC.

So, which information is correct?

Gene.

Hi Gene,

I tried to follow your original post, but I don't seems to have the same parts as you describe. I couldn't find a wiring diagram for my model number, but I did take off the back freezer panel (interior) and everything was frozen. I defrosted the coils and cleaned things up, but I can't find a defrost timer, to see if that was the problem. I took off the back panel (exterior) and couldn't find anything there.

So...can you help point me in any direction??? I'm pretty good at solving things, but not if there not there. Is this one of the refrigerators operated electronically that you mentioned?

Thanks,
Deborah

Hi Deborah,

There is no defrost timer in your refrigerator. The defrost operates by the control board (#5 at the diagram).

You have to check the defrost heater and defrost thermostat (#10 & #14 at the diagram) for continuity. The defrost thermostat must be ice cold at that time.

If there is nothing wrong with these two parts, replace the control board.

- The defrost heater Part number: 12729128

- The defrost thermostat Part number: W10165425

- The control board Part number: 12868513

We just bought our fridge yesterday got it home and the fridge portion is not cooling. It did get down to 33 over night but all day it has been staying around 53 and the water in the door is not chilled. The ice makers are working fine and the freezer is staying cold. I have no Idea what the problem can be...Do you have any ideas?

Hello,

Normally it takes about 24 hours for a refrigerator to maintain proper temperature.

If you believe there is something wrong and this is a brand new refrigerator then don't do anything and call the manufacturer for the warranty service.

This just started yesterday after I woke to find that someone had left the fridge door cracked all night long. I figured that after taking off the back interior panel in the freezer I would find ice caked up inside there, thaw it out, and be back in business. That didn't happen.

Some frost, but no excessive buildup on coils inside freezer.
Damper opens and closes properly.
Haven't taken a thermometer to the freezer, but it is keeping items frozen and making ice.
After plugging back in the fan was stuck so I gave it a boost and it started up. It seems to be running slowly tho. There is no blockage in damper or vents as I can feel airflow through both when I open and close the freezer drawer, but feel no airflow coming through the vents otherwise. Is the airflow just extremely faint?

I think I've narrowed it down to a bad fan, but I want to be sure before I spend the money on a replacement.
