How long should it take for freezer and frig get to normal temps .I just replaced defrost t stat about 2 hours ago
For model number MFD2561HES
Hello John, thank you for the question. According to our research, It may take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours to reach and stay at the proper temperature. Use a thermometer to monitor the freezer temperature and determine the time needed for subsequent defrosts. We hope this helps!

Hi I already replaced defrost t stat frig worked for one week. Now it's starting to frost on back wall of freezer .I checked heater it did have resistance. Is it the main board or can thermistor do this thanks
For model number MFD2561HES
Hello John, thank you for contacting us. We have researched the model and would suggest checking the thermistor, part number PS2003772, for continuity using a multimeter. The thermistor senses the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends information to the electronic control. A faulty thermistor might not send proper temperature information to the control board, thus affecting the temperature cycle. We hope this information helps!
I'm getting small flecks of slime or mold in my ice. Any suggestions? Thank you!
For model number MFD2561HES
Hello Bruce, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the issue is probably with the Water Filter, part number PS11722130. If that does not take care of the issue, then the problem is most likely to be related to the Ice Maker, part number PS2121513. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
Pressed in the end of the filter cover, lowered it down part way. Twisted the old filter 1/4 turn and removed it. Set in the sink to drain. Inserted new filter and twisted it to lock. closed cover. Done. Total time @ 1 Minute.
Interior surface of ice tray felt rough & flaky (coating deteriorated) so cubes would not release. Unplug appliance. Remove timer cover by hand pressure @ edge. Remove single attachment screw & bracket at lower front of icemaker. Disconnect wiring harness from socket @ rear of compartment. Tricky part was determining what type of connection held the other two attachment points along the long edge of the icemaker. I did not have repair manual or useful drawing but looked @ PartsDirect pic of side brackets & used a small mirror to confirm that mine were also some sort of "snap in" attachment. Remove icemaker unit by pushing upward and outward on the unit. I takes a good bit of pressure and will pop loose, but be careful not to break attachment bracket from freezer wall. Scavenge shut off bar and wiring harness from old icemaker once you have it out & attach to new one before installing it back in freezer. Again, you might find a mirror useful to align those pesky snap-in brackets with the new unit. Since you probably kept your freezer running while waiting for the part, the plastic snap-ins will be cold and brittle. I warmed them up first by applying a dampened cloth heated in the microwave to make them a little more pliable. A good push of the new unit towards the snap-ins along with some upward force will get it stable. Reattach the metal screw in bracket & connect the wiring harness to rear plug... and don't forget to plug the whole thing back in. It will take awhile for the first batch of cubes dump as the timer may need to cycle completely around to get to the fill cycle... be patient. Dump the first couple of batches of cubes just to make sure you're free of any residue.
unplugged refrigerator and shut off water, removed one screw and loosened two more, after removing one side of the ice bucket rail, unplugged electrical from old ice maker. Then I removed the bail and out on new one, reinstalled ice maker in reverse order from taking it out.
