<div dir="ltr">Heat is probably
the culprit. And they aren't a high level of precision. A cheap clock motor, plastic gears and levers opening and closing contacts. And some manufacturers are better than others. I have a sheet of plastic made for moving appliances to save the flooring, but if you put some dish soap on the floor that will help things slide and not rip the floor. On mine I can take a 1/4" ratcheting box and jack up the front, raise the levelers so the wheels actually work. That saves the floor. KitchenAid, i.e. Whirlpool. I'm underwhelmed with Korean refrigeration. Lots of doo dads and buzzers, but the guts...And parts? Whereas a Whirlpool product, many name brands, are all over the place. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jun 7, 2021 at 11:48 AM Cecil Bearden <<a href="mailto:crbearden@copper.net">crbearden@copper.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>Brad, this one is just like the last one that I gave up on. It
is behind the toe kick, but at the very back of the cabinet.
Where I have to pull the cabinet out to get to. The last time
with the other one, I ended up with a tear in the linoleum. This
is in a recess next to the main walkway in the kitchen. When it
is pulled out, I have to go outside to the other door to get to
the front of the cabinet.. I will be so glad when I finish
remodeling my house so I can get back in it full time and let
someone else have this thing.... Why would 3 refrigerators have
the defrost go bad in the same place????<br>

<div dir="auto">As a refrigeration mechanic, not much domestic

easy to replace. Usually a 1/4" nut driver and maybe needle nose
to pull the terminals. Behind the toe kick on most. They are in
a dusty environment and not totally sealed so...

Could be the limit, element, or the drain heater. </div>

<p>We have replaced 3 refrigerators in the last 8 years.
They keep freezing up on the coils. This is in my dad's
old Double wide, a really dificult place to pull the
refrig out of. First one just quit cooling and we
replaced it with one we had from 15 years prior. within a
year it froze up and the defrost timer had burned out. We
just took the bottom of the freezer out and thawed it and
put back together. Did this for 2 years, then bought
another refrigerator from Home Depot a year ago and it is
now freezing up. Looks like defrost timer is burned up
again... WTH???</p>
