My problem is like all the others in this thread, the freezer is fine, but the refrig is not. The defrost system is working as it should, no frost/ice buildup on the back panel, but I took off the back panel anyway to observe the frost/defrost cycle, which is working fine - so I assume it is operating properly. Also I put and HVAC thermostat in the freezer compartment, it read 30 degrees in less than 15 minutes.
I’ve searched and searched, probably missed it somewhere, but how do I test the evaporator fan? Should it be running all the time? I don’t want to spend time and money to troubleshoot by multiple parts swapping.
Yes it should be on when ever the compressor is on.
They are wired in parallel.
Could check it’s resistance with a meter. Not sure what it should be but it should not be an open.
Could also hook it up to a line cord and see if it runs[/QUOTE]
denman,
Thanks for the quick response. I removed the fan, hooked it up to 110v - it didn’t work, so I have ordered a replacement. Thanks for your assistance. I’ll post another response when I get the new fan installed.
Thanks to denman who gave me the idea… I got the new fan yesterday, put it in and plugged it in. The fridge is nice and cold this morning. Saved the cost of a service call. Thany you, thany you.
