  1. I checked the resistance and there is some , but should there be continuity because there is none between the two ends on the heater?

  2. I feel certified
    My family is going to be amazed!

  3. ONE QUESTION: HOW IMPORTANT IS FILLING WIRE NUTS WITH SILICONE?, I AM THE SECOND PERSON TO REPLACE BI METAL THERMOSTAT, FIRST GUY NO SILICONE

  4. I am 100% in total agreement with OVI- WAN-KENOBI-8 from 7 years ago, i would suggest with due respect you reposting this extremely helpful video you saved me a bunch of money, and grief, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

  5. Try this to get the freezer working again. I have an LG Top-Bottom Fridge that was having the same trouble. Compressor and exterior fan were working fine but the freezer was not cooling. I removed the front interior trim of the freezer and saw that the evaporator fan was not working. I carefully unscrewed it from the housing frame behind the trim and checked the resistance and continuity on the wire connector which were excellent. Now I've seen repairmen who would just tell you to replace the fan but at that time of day that was not an option. Having done this before with a standing fan, I realised that all this fan wanted was a cleaning and lubricating of the magnets and impeller respectively. Eventually over time with these two there is a build up of dirt, and rust in some cases, which must be cleaned and so here is where WD 40 is your best friend. I used some of this on a paper napkin to wipe the two surfaces after which I used some treadmill silicone oil, you can use something similar, on the curved surface of the impeller as well as the shaft and end joint housing. I reinstalled the evap fan and plugged it in. Not only did it spin, but it spun faster than before. Also, make sure you clean the plastic fan blade which should just pop off the impeller shaft. I placed mine under the faucet and used some dishwashing soap. Hope this tip helps someone to save some time and money. 😀

  6. Good explanation. Thank u.

  7. Eccellente spiegazione!!! 👍

    Una volta compreso il funzionamento dei singoli componenti del sistema no-frost, è un gioco da ragazzi localizzare il guasto e provvedere alla riparazione.

    Ma attenzione a chi non ha manualità, perchè è molto alto il rischio di danni a persone e cose. Bye 👋

  8. The best most useful video i've ever seen !! i understood everything and it wasn't long and boring, thank you

  9. The most important part has an ad on the right side… wrong

  10. Whirpool wfr990slam02 fridge – 3 months ago it started making noise. I took the freezer rear panel and the coil was frozen up. The ice buildup was so big, the fan blade touched it. I removed all ice and used a hard dryer to remove it completely. All was good for about 2 months. The new issue was that the ice maker did not work, leaked water ! I removed the panel again and this time there was ice buildup around the thermostat side but no other areas. I used the hair dryer again to remove ice and plugged it back. Fridge is working but the freezer section won't ice up anything anymore. Its warmer than the fridge area. I replaced thermostat, no change. I checked behind the panel, no timer. I checked behind the fridge, no timer. The warming coil – the defrost wire or tube – measures ok , tiny bit of resistance – approx 0.3ohm. So after all this, what could be wrong ? No ice maker, no freezer but the fridge works fine.

  11. There’s something about the American accent when spiked with intellect that really relaxes me

  12. Is anything in this video true for typical European refrigerators as build in the 90s, the AEG/Electrolux kind? Tall, two separate compartments (freezer and fridge) with no connection between them, no fan, giant radiator in the back, no PCBs. I think it has auto defrost but i can't find a timer mechanical or otherwise. There is no freezer defrosting foreseen. The fridge chamber does seem to self defrost once in a while, there is a thin layer of ice forming on the back, it melts occasionally and runs off onto a dish in the bottom right on top of the compressor. I think the warmth of the compressor helps it evaporate then, but i haven't found the heater yet.

  13. Ohh a low resistance reading. 👍 👌 🙆‍♀️

    Now to learn how to use a voltage meter. ⚡️

  14. All the improvements in refrigerators, yet no high temperature alarm, to prevent food loss. I mean really I can watch a Movie on some refrigerators and go on internet.

  15. plz.sir tell me what is problem if too much ice in upper side.Also timer,bimatalic and heater ok.when we clean ice from evaporator fridge work one week ok even on and off and also defrost work normally

  16. This is the most informative video I've seen on YouTube. Learned a lot from it. Thanks for posting.

  17. Exactly my fridge, freezer not freezed over. And nothing gets cold.

  18. Question: My refigerator is near 10 years of age. And though I've found a solution for the water which is from the defrosting, kept freezing, thus caused water to leak into lower level of my refrigerator by wrapping a piece of solid copper around the defrost pipe and inserting one end into the outlet aka drain hole. I have cause to wonder why after all these year's, I have to do that. It use to work as designed, but only recently has it developed the issue. My remedy seem's to be working, it's been over a month, and no water in the refrigerator. Thus I saving money to replace it. But until then. I am sill wondering as to why. The defrost is obviously still working, apparntly it just not working up to it full design.
