Team Samurai Samurai Appliance Repair Man Posted February 20, 2014 Team Samurai Share Posted February 20, 2014 The service manual won't be of much use to you on this one. But I would refer you to Brother Durham's fine Frigidaire Refrigerator Survival Kit: http://appliantology.org/blog/15/entry-748-frigidaire-refrigerator-survival-kit/ If it's been working since November, then it's highly unlikely that you missed a wire. More likely on this model is that one of the other associated controls have gone bad. Interestingly, on the FRS26 models, Frigidaire has you simply gut all the controls with this kit Part number: AP5176342 Unfortunately, that kit does not apply to the FRS23 models. Instead, you will need to replace the fresh food cold control Part number: AP2116225 and the ADC board Part number: AP4909015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brm Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 thank you GMthe customer said the first company out, had changed the ff control and had been there 5 times and the frzing issue had never been resolved.when i got there the damper was stuck open & motor did not run. i changed the damper & today 4 days later i find the same problem, the new damper is stuck open & motor dos not run. so i thought (guess) maybe he missed wired it. but gust thinking out loud, the new ADC & wire harness it should do it, cuss as i remember the damper is rewired with that wire harness, having only one side of the damper wired, the old wire harness is whats on there now.thank you agin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Samurai Samurai Appliance Repair Man Posted February 20, 2014 Team Samurai Share Posted February 20, 2014 At this point, you don't know what you're dealing with. And I still wonder why they waited so long to call you back if that were really the problem. And then it gets into the who did what. But, since you were the last one to touch it, you own it. You could try correcting the wiring and see if that fixes it. But you have to ax yourself, "Self, what's my time worth? More importantly, what's the customer's opinion of me worth?" FWIW, if it were me, I would gut the beast, making sure I fixed it in the very next trip and not get a callback in another couple of months.
