If read that a new 29725000 should read 70 ohms but the one in my freezer reads 113.6 ohms. I checked a new one that a friend has and it reads 136.1 ohms. My freezer temperature fluctuates to cold to warm back and forth. The temperature control has already been replaced.
For model number FFFU14F2QWR
Hello Jimmy, thank you for reaching out to Fix. We recommend replacing the evaporator fan motor, part number FIX3502361. Your ohm reading shows it is faulty. If you notice a low resistance reading, typically anything less than 100 Ohm, then the charge produced by the testing unit is flowing normally, and the coil is working fine. However, if the reading is quite high or an infinite resistance reading is noted, then there is a connection separation someplace, meaning the evaporator coil is defective and the whole fan needs replacing. We hope this sorts out your problem!
