Refrigerator & Freezer Repair
1

Symptoms: freezer working fine but refrigerator was warm >60°.

Fault isolation: Narrowed down the faulty componenet to the diffiuser and ordered new diffuser, in the mean time I put a small wooden dowel rod into the diffuser vanes to keep my refrigerator cold.

New problem: after receiving my new diffuser I disconnected power to the appliance and connected the two leads to the diffuser. After plugging the appliance back in the fan behind the freezer back did not kick on. Re-replacing the old diffuser started the fan back up. I performed this several times with the exact same results.

Question: Is the new diffuser faulty?

Thank-you,

Patrick

Patrick,

What is the part number of the new diffuser?

Sounds like the new diffuser is defective or it’s a wrong part.

Thanks Gene for replying, the paperwork that came with the part list the following part number 2209751 and the actual diffuser has a sticker that says made in Mexico with a number of 0155A. Hope this helps you to help me.

Pat,

The part number is correct, so looks like the part itself is defective.

Gene, the company I received the defective part from has re-ordered a new one. Once I get it I’ll replace and let you know.

Gene, got the part in and the fridge is working great. I hate it when you order a part and it’s faulty!!

Thanks,
