Hi All,







Help!







refrigerator freezer:



Whirlpool GR2SHKXKQ



21.6 cu ft



Purchased ~ 12/2010







Stinker won't cool below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Both



sections.







It started out stinking like a burnt tire. Then frost all



over the freezer items.







So I replaced the 4387244 Condenser Fan Motor, which indeed



was leaking oil and not spinning too freely.







Now I have lots of air going in the bottom front left



(my left, its right) and going out the bottom front



right.







The wind coming out the fan in the freezer section



is not all that cold.







The thing runs for a while and stops. Then cycles



again after a bit. If it is off and I kill power at



the breaker, it will start again.







I need my freeze back before I loose big dollars



in food. And the local repairmen take forever to get



here. Plus, most of them suck at it. The one guy



that is magic at this stuff is so far away, it is



hard to get him to come out (I insist on paying travel,



but he is swamped.)

Hi,



No ice build up inside any where? Checked defrost timer?







Hi Tony,







No ice anywhere.







How do I check the defrost timer?





If you can just let the whole unit warm up enough to basically start

fresh,

it won't matter if the defrost is working or not. It will have been

defrosted

by being turned off, warmed up. When you restart it, if it still doesn't

cool,

then you know it's not a defrost issue, be it the timer, heater or

whatever.



unless the defrost cycle is stuck on?



Runs for about a half hour and stops. Then waits about

a half an hour and cycles again.

When it's running for that half hour, is cold air blowing into the
freezer or is it never really cold?

Also, related to the tech thinking it's a thermostat problem, does this
have a temp display? If it's displaying 50F, hard to figure how it can
be a thermostat issue on an electronic unit.
