Gene - it appears as if there is NO airflow into the frig. The freezer is now at 15 degrees. This happens periodically as well.

thanks for any info you might have on the cause.

Rebecca,

You have to have an ohmmeter and the refrigerator thermometer to perform the next step of the troubleshooting. Let me know when you will be ready.

Place the thermometer in the fresh food compartment.

Unplug the refrigerator. Pull it out of the wall and remove the cover from the main control board. Remove the J1 plug from the control board. Set the ohmmeter on a highest scale. Measure the resistance between the wires connected to the J1-5 & J1-1 and the J1-5 and J1-2.

Post the results and the temperature in the fresh food compartment at that time.

Gene.

We are talking about J1 plug only. The numbers after dash are numbers of the terminals/wires connected to that plug.

It should be marked.

I'm afraid I did not get it clear. Can you describe step by step how did you do it please?

Gene.

we unplugged the frig, pulled off the j1 piece from the circuit board, then put the positive probe on the first metal spike and the negative on the 5th metal spike(for lack of a better term)and got a reading. Then, did the same with spike one and two.

does that make sense?
thanks,
Rebecca
