Hi,
The fresh food section was getting warmer and freezer was cool. So I thought the air circulation is not working. Cool air from freezer is not going to fresh food section. Also I saw freezer fan not rotating.
I opened the freezer back panel to check the fan. I saw the evaporator coil was clean with no frost. I closed the panel and set temperature to 5 (coldest). Next day I saw things started cooling and the fan in the freezer throwing air. Air circulation was normal.
The cooling lasted two days and again fresh food section was warm. I opened the back panel again thinking that defrost is not happening. But again I saw evaporator coil is clean with some frost. So I used air dryer and set cool air on the coil. Also I set temp to 5 (coldest).
Now I do not see anything cooling also the fan is not rotating.
Nat,
Yes. Compressor was somewhat hot but not running.
Later I manually moved the defrost timer to start cooling cycle. After doing this the compressor started running and Freezer started cooling. But the freezer fan did not start at all.
So I think I need to change the fan motor. Also should I replace the defrost timer since freezer stops cooling and does not go to cooling cycle ?
I think they ship from here pretty fast… I’m not affiliated with the company. I just volunteer information to help people out. We own our own appliance repair company is Missouri.
You could check a local service company they might have them in stock.
