Defrost Timer - 120V 60Hz 215846604

Hello Michael, thank you for contacting us. That does sound correct. It would be either the defrost timer or the thermostat. You can test these with a multi meter to determine which is at fault. Good luck with the repair!

Hello John, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: defrost thermostat, temperature cold control thermostat, defrost timer, evaporator fan motor, heater-defrost and control board. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

Hello George, Thank you for your question. For model LFHT1817LB4, we recommend the Defrost Thermostat. If your freezer is running properly, but your refrigerator is too warm or not colling properly, this is the part you would want to check first, it is available under part number PS469510. We hope this helps you.

Hi Michael, Thank you for your question. Before removing and testing the defrost timer with a multimeter, unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet. Using a multimeter on the Rx1 setting, with one probe touching the common terminal (it should be labeled "3" or "C"), touch the other lead to the other three remaining terminals, one at a time. Testing the first pair should produce a reading of zero, or near zero, denoting continuity. The second pair may also result in a reading of zero or near zero. Testing the third pair of terminals should produce a reading of infinity. If you do not receive these readings, you will need a replacement defrost timer. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.

Hi Uwe, thank you for your question. If you are looking for the position of your defrost timer, this part is located on the ceiling of inside your refrigerator section underneath the cover where your control is. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Wendy, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing or replacing the Cold Control Thermostat, PartSelect Number PS8769007. This cold control thermostat cycles on and off regularly to keep your refrigerator cold. We hope this helps.

Hi Mihir, Thank you for your question. If the refrigerator is too warm, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. Here is a link from our website that you may reference on what parts to check, https://www.partselect.com/AdvancedModelSymptoms.aspx?ModelNum=FFHT1826PS3&mfgModelNum=&fkMfgID=4&ModelMasterID=841497&PID=10. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Bob, thank you for your question. It sounds like it could be the defrost timer, but I would check the defrost thermostat and heater for continuity before ordering. If the thermostat and the heater are tested and are working correctly, the issue would be the defrost control board. I hope this helps!

Hello Jd, thank you for contacting us. According to our understanding, we would recommend checking the drip tray located behind the evaporator coil for any blockage and drain tube for clogging. If this is not the issue, then the defrost heater, part number PS3504321, could cause this problem. We hope this information helps!

Hello Walter, thank you for your inquiry. If your freezer is working intermittently, there are several potential causes to consider: 1. Thermostat: The thermostat regulates the temperature inside the freezer. If it is faulty, it might not signal the compressor to turn on, leading to inconsistent cooling. 2. Compressor: The compressor is responsible for circulating refrigerant through the coils. If it's failing or overheating, it might work intermittently. 3. Evaporator Fan: This fan circulates air over the evaporator coils and throughout the freezer. If it's not working consistently, it could lead to uneven cooling. If the issue persists, then the defrost timer could be at fault. While you mentioned that the defrost timer seems to be functioning, it is still possible that it could be malfunctioning intermittently. If the timer is not advancing properly, it could cause the freezer to stop cooling at times. We would recommend checking the defrost timer, part number PS423802, to solve the problem. Glad to be of help!
