Lower shelves are below freezing. Upper 2 shelves are above freezing. What do I do? I should have added that my freezer is now empty because I relocated all contents. Nothing is blocking airflow. Upper is above, lower is below freezing. What could it be? Thanks
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Connie, thank you for the question. Based on our understanding, the issue could be with the evaporator fan motor, part number PS11740626. It is responsible for pulling air across the cooling coils and pushing it throughout the freezer. If it has failed, cold air won't reach the upper shelves. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!

What keeps my freezer from not getting colder then 20 degrees?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Edward, Thank you for your question. If the freezer is too warm, then the thermostat is likely malfunctioning. The thermostat is a rotary dial with a capillary tube and sensor bulb which monitors the temperature, and electrical contacts which power the compressor circuit. Overtime, these parts can become worn preventing the thermostat from working correctly. Try adjusting the thermostat to the highest setting. If the compressor starts then the temperature control should be replaced. Make sure not to disturb the sensor bulb when checking these components. We hope this helps!

I have to defrost the freezer about every three weeks. After defrost, I run wire up and down drain, use hot water and baking soda to ensure drain is clear. Actually poured enough water through drain to get a inch or so in pan, then emptied. Thought the igloo temp setting might be causing it, so lowered to 5. The drain freezes up again in a 2-3 weeks. Any suggestions?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi James. It could be a bad defrost timer. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

I used a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light rocker switch. Then, I unplugged the wires, plugged them into the new light rocker switch, and then popped the new switch into the hole. That's it! Lights began working again.

Froze over fan motor burnt out

  • James L. from Madison, AL

  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
Removed shelves from inside freezer then removed 4 screws holding cover panel. Pulled panel up and slightly pulled forward to remove. Removed wiring connections then removed two screws that held the motor & fan assembly. Removed the support bracket from the old motor and installed same on the support bracket. Reversed removal procedur es for installation. Cover panel is a little bit of a problem when trying to reinstall. Put in panel as high as you can and then slide down. You must then exert a little pressure on the bottom portion to get it to seat correctly. Install four remaing screws and you are done. I had this repaired previously by a professional repairman and noticed from the pictures you folks provided that he had installed the screws on the support bracket incorrectly. That was the reason for the fan blade to rip apart.

Light Switch broke

An easy job for smaller hands. Removed the two bolts holding the light cover. Removed two electrical connections from the old switch by pinching the retaining clip,removed the switch, snapped in the new one and re-attached the connectors. Your online illustrations helped me to know that the plastic housing for the light switch would only swing down so far and was not intended to be removed. Saved me from breaking that plastic cover's tabs. This home repair saved me more than 5 times the cost of hiring a professional to do it. Very happy homeowner.
