Hello Gene,

The freezer works fine. The refrigerator doesn't work. This is the french door model. Model# 596.73503201.

I noticed the back of the freezer was froozen and the Vert Mullion Assy was very hot to the touch. I called the Sears parts/help and they indicated the Vert Mullion Assy should be replaced. That was a four day $144 waste of time.

I got on line and did some checking. I opened the back of the freezer and checked the thermostat, and heater coil -both checked okay. Thinking it was the Adaptor Defrost Board - i ordered it from your site. That didn't fix the problem.

I thought the evaporative fan might not be working and opened it up to check. When i touched the fan it started moving and appears to be working although not very fast. Is it connected to the damper contol circuit via some demand signal? How do i check if the damper control is bad or if the evaporative fan motor is not working properly? Or is there some other area i should check?

Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

Very Best,
Dan

So how do i plug the motor into a wall outlet and how do i know what is "up to speed"? Is this a variable speed motor based on input from the damper contol? Could the damper control be bad? In addition, will you please explain how to take the plastic assembly off so i can access the damper control unit. I don't want to force it and don't see any obvious releases or detents.
Thanks,
Dan
