Open the fridg door and press the light switch 5 times within 6 seconds, compressor should stop, and it should go into defrost.
If compressor stops, but no defrost action, you have either a defrost thermostat, or defrost heater problem.If compressor will not stop, you probably have a bad control board.

How do I tell if the compressor stopped? I pressed it multiple times and it didn't seem like it did anything. Then I rapidly pressed it about 5 times, and it made a rumbling sound for about 4 seconds and it stopped.
Can you also tell me where I can find the diagram so I know what is what? When I put in the model number it just give me the parts list, I don't see a diagram.
Thanks.

Try the sears site" searspartsselect", will give diagrams. If the fans stopped after pushing the door switch, it went into defrost, but probably didn't defrost due to a defrost component failure like a defrost thermostat.

You mean by defrost action, the frost on the evaporator has to melt? Originally Posted by: richappy Try the sears site" searspartsselect", will give diagrams.

So if I press the switch about 5 times, the fan blade (6) from this diagram, should stop spinning? http://www.********************...=&shdMod=59665333700This is how it looks like this morning. I'm not sure when it defrosted, after I opened it last night or after this morning where I did the light switch. http://www.flickr.com/photos/69.../sizes/l/in/photostream/http://www.flickr.com/photos/69.../sizes/l/in/photostream/
