Hello,
our bottom freezer fridge (Kenmore 596.66954400, 18.5 ci, no ice-maker) stops cooling from time to time. Both controls then show "-" (on the control panel inside fridge part). This is happening only every few weeks, and is more likely to happen after lots of produce is loaded (not immediately after loading, a few hours afterwards). Power on/off appears to reset the controls and the thing works again, usually for weeks.
I did went through a forced defrost cycle and all the Service mode tests, without fault.
Questions:
- does the "-' indication tell me something about possible causes?
- does the overload PTC relay reset automatically?
- any ideas what to check?
thank you
Kaspar
