I have a fridge-only model. It was working ok. We moved it from one room to an adjacent room at 55 degrees F. After plugging in and turning on, it didn't cool. Unplugged for few days, turned back on and now the temperature is down to 0 degrees F, compressor is hot, and doesn't turn off. What should I check?
For model number 253.60722000
Hello Ily, Thank you for the question. This could be caused by a faulty Defrost Thermostat. We suggest testing the Thermostat with a multimeter. The best way to do this is to remove the thermostat from the refrigerator so you can control the temperature of the sensor. You can let the sensor warm up to room temperature. With the sensor warmed up to room temperature the sensor should read approximately 6.2K Ohms at 68°F. With the thermistor submerged is a glass full of ice water, the sensor should be very close to 32°F which should read approximately 16.3K Ohms. If the values that you are getting are far off from these readings, then the sensor is bad and should be replaced. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
