abbinoxious Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Looking for a service manual for a Kenmore frig. 25369802892. I looked in downloads but it didnt show any. We replaced the defrost & thermostat & it is still running to cold in frig. Freezes everything & it is nearly in the off position for both the freezer & frig. Hoping that trouble shoot will shed some light. Thank you.
DurhamAppliance Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Moving Freezer control to a warmer setting will open the damper, dropping cold air out of freezer... so where will that cold air go? That's right.... into the fresh food compartment making it colder.... simple mechanical damper door. Imagine you have two rooms cooled by the same window air conditioner (evaporator) . there is a door between the two that's half way open (damper in normal position set by freezer control knob) . If you want the room with the air conditioner warmer... open the door wider... guess what happens to the adjoining room? The thermostat in the fridge section is like the controls on the air conditioner. If you replaced the temp controller, check and adjust damper. The only other thing that can cause this is an evap motor turning the wrong direction and a refrigerant leak. As for thw manual. You should already have it.... 253 prefix means it is made by Frigidaire and I am certain you downloaded everything in my Frigidaire survival kit... right? okay, maybe not... Go here and download the top mount Frigidaire manual...http://appliantology.org/blog/15/entry-748-frigidaire-refrigerator-survival-kit/ Edited March 25, 2014 by DurhamAppliance
