About a Refrigerator Defrost System

 

Defrost Timer System (Mechanical Timer)

Every 8 hours of compressor run time defrost timer activates radiant electric defrost heater suspended from evaporator. After about 20-30 minutes (depending on the timer used) of defrost cycle time, timer restores circuit to compressor.

Defrost terminator (thermostat) is wired in series with defrost heater. Terminator opens and breaks circuit when preset high temperature is reached. After defrost thermostat opens, thermostat remains open until end of defrost cycle when cooling cycle starts and terminator senses present low temperature and closes.

Defrost heater is suspended from the evaporator coil across the bottom to keep defrost drain free flowing during defrost. Defrost water is caught in trough under evaporator coil and flows through drain hole in liner and drain tubing into drain pan. Air circulated by condenser fan over pan evaporates water.

 

Adaptive Defrost System (Electronic Control Board)

The ADC adapts the compressor run time between defrosts to achieve optimum defrost intervals by monitoring the cold control and length the defrost heater is on.

 

 

GE PSC23NSWA Refrigerator Ice Maker Not Working.

Friday afternoon I got a call on a GE PSC23NSWA Refrigerator that had a ice maker that was no longer working. The ice maker would fill with water and freeze the water, but the ice maker would then just sit there with frozen water in it.

To repair it I replaced the ice maker, part # WR30X10093

To remove the old ice maker I simply had to remove two screws and unplug it from the freezer.

Refrigerator Water Line Connection

 

Before connecting the water to the refrigerator, be sure the water is turned off and the refrigerator is unplugged.

Connect the water line to the water valve on the back of the refrigerator. The connection is a standard 1/4 inch fitting that will accept either a compression fitting or one of the many braided, reinforced hoses available for this purpose at most hardware stores.

I’m here in Iowa the birth place of Maytag

In Amana Iowa there is a unquie pride in keeping the turn of the 20th centery theme alive.

It was in the late 1800′s when Frederick Maytag arived by covered wagon as a child. In 1907 Maytag turned it sights on appliance and the rest is history. Amana knows refrigerators. They manufactured the frist side by side in 1949.

The people of Amana take price in there work. Over 20 percent of them have been building appliance for over 30 years. The Amana Iowa plant is more then 2 million square feet. Housing about 2000 employes.

They do more then assemble refrigerators in Amana. They test them for reliability. Robots open and close doors and draws over and over to test the life of the product. They even put sensors in different parts of the refrigerator to be sure your milk stays cold. But it does not stop there. Each day they test to make sure the packaging will hold up to the long ride it may have to your home.

With the heritage of the folks at Amana you can be confident that a Maytag refrigerator from Amana Iowa was built with dependability in mind. Iowa will forever be the birth place of Maytag and dependability.

Maytag knows what’s inside matters.
