Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
The refrigerator portion would range in temperature from 30 degrees to 65 degrees every 24 hours, freezer would sometimes get warm
Removed the temperature control dial,took out the 3 screws that hold the cover for the thermostat and defrost timer, disconnected both the defrost timer and thermostat and replaced with new items. The refrigerator temperature has now been staple for one week.
Defroster not working. Ice dams building up restricting cooling.
Not being sure which part it was, and having replaced the defrost timer already I changed all listed parts out. After 35 years they owed me nothing. I changed the control thermostat easily, I spliced in the defrost thermostat using the connectors and shrink wrap provided. The heater-defrosted element was a snap due to push/pull connectors.
Refrigerator is coopertone in color and matches the kitchen cabinets. oday the only viable option for a matching replacement is a subzero built in. Estimates for the cabinet work, subzero, electrician (to bring up to code) and plumber put the replacement at $12,000.
The unit is working like new with the replacement parts. I could have done more to isolate the faulty part but I think wholesale repacement was still a bargain.
I've fixed my Washing Machine and Drier with PartSelect parts and will continue to use them as my supplier.

My frig trips the gfci breaker when i turn the temp control from 0 to 1. What could be causing this? I replaced the defrost timer and worked for a day, now tripping breaker associated with the temp control. Is there a connection? Thanks
For model number FRT21nncw1
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your inquiry. If your refrigerator is tripping the breaker when you adjust the temperature control you may have a weak breaker. If the breaker is in good working order, then issue could be with the compressor. The compressor could have a short, it could be locked or the starting device on the compressor may have failed. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Temp control is on 9 (which i did not set) and will not allow me to lower control.
For model number FFHS2311LWEA
Hello Nancy, thank you for your question. If you aren't able to adjust the temperature control you will want to replace the electronic control board that sits behind the control section in the fridge. The part number is PS10060580. Please enter the part number into the site for current price and availability. Good luck with your repair!

The fridge is set at 1 and still freezes food
Hi John, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the Defrost Thermostat, PartSelect Number PS469269. 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. Hope this helps!
