Do not move the actual evaporator as if you bust a pipe, game over without a refrigeration person with special equipment to fix it.
K.
Yeah, exactly. So I guess for now I’ll just leave it where it is.

Did you mean 530? I can’t seem to find 503.
530 are the screws (7 of them) that hold the back plastic panel in place that covers the evaporator and rest of the inside components. That’s not the cover on the evaporator. On the evaporator there was a sticker that has part code 5944084-01 (not sure if that helps).kwatt wrote:Result. 😀

If you or someone else knows how to remove and replace the sensor in the evaporator so I can properly place the new one, I’d really appreciate it. I tried on Sunday, but there is some hard foam cover on it and it seems to go all the way around. I didn’t want to rip it off or damage it. Though, I would guess that having it on the side of the evaporator is also quite effective.
So I changed both sensors. The evaporator one I couldn’t figure out how to get it out from inside the evaporator, so I just slid the new one in on the side of the evaporator. Seems to be working for the current moment since Sunday night.

Start at the start and work forwards, not the end backwards.

I have the freezer disassembled and replaced the air temperature sensor,
How does one remove that white panel on the evaporator to get to the temperature probe inside there?So I checked the freezer today, and it seems the problem is back. (I have not replaced the sensors).
I went into the service mode, and when I checked the temps, for instance the ‘3 first showed -22 and then jumped to 2.
here is a video of the temps (but this is after I already cycled through it). So it seems like the sensors need to be replaced (I think).

After I exited the service menu, the main screen still showed -22 until i turned it off/on and then went to the —To update here, since I posted the last time, the freezer seems to be working. I did order the new probes and will replace them either this weekend or when the freezer starts acting up again. I’ll then post back here.

435 is a heating tube.

435 heating tube? Could that be the water inlet for the ice maker?
Thanks so much, I’ll check the probes temp and report back.
And would a faulty probe not show an error and work sometimes? As I mentioned, when I turn the unit off/on, it seems to grab the correct temp. After half day (sometimes a day), the freezer inside is above freezing (or close to it), yet the screen is showing -25C (or whatever it was set to). Then when I turn it off and on, it updates, shows — with the alarm that it’s above the min temp and freezes again.So the kit that you sent is 1 probe, correct? and that 1 probe is the replacement for all 4 of them now?
I will wait until the freezer stops working again and check the probe temp in the service mode and see what it shows before I disassemble it again and check with a multimeter. I’m thinking that it could very well be 370 as 520 was changed.
There was one thing I did notice. When I removed the ice maker, and that top inside freezer panel, there was some hole with some black looking wire in that hole. It looked like a sensor of sorts. What is that? Is that 435?So 300 is for the top shelf wine, 310 is bottom shelf wine, there is 370 and 520, but I’m not sure which one is which. The white one that sits on the back inside of the freezer was replaced. What are the part numbers for 370 and 520? And could it be the limiter (part 350 I believe)?
Any way to test and see if a probe is faulty? Only thing I can think of is waiting till the freezer has the issue again and going into service mode,, sensor test and seeing their output.kwatt wrote:Sounds like a sensor issue but I’d need the service number to look it up and see what’s in it.
