Thanks Doug.
I get it. I have also had a probe in the freezer at the same time I had a probe in the fridge. It shows the temp to be 0-3 degrees.
How would I check to see that the AC heating element is seated properly?
I had a "technician" change it at great expense but it didn't improve performance. I do have a control board ordered.
You have to pull the refer to release the clips that hold the round metal tube that holds the insulation. Sometimes if the OEM gave enough room you can release the clips without removing the refer. You will see the tubes and if you can move the heat element and it moves inward and outward from the flue, it is loose. Do not confuse movement with up and down. Before you do this, wire the 120 element direct to 120 volts for 24 hours and see what the refer does. Doug
BTW, what was the great expense? It takes less than 1 hour to replace the 120 element. The only problem is, IF the old element is rusted/gauled and cannot be removed. Then you just insert a new element in the 2nd 120 element tube.
