SamuraiRepairman, you are the man! Thank you for saving my life with your simple and entertaining instruction!
Awesome, helpful, and humorous video…exactly what I needed! Even found the tech sheet right where it’s suppose to be!! Many thanks!!
Thanks so much for this. Lowe’s delivered and set mine up a year ago and lo and behold, there is no tech sheet. My fridge wasn’t getting cold and I pretty much narrowed it down to being either the damper control or the fridge thermos not communicating to the damper. Was just about to order a damper for $66 when I stumbled upon this. Had no idea about the service entry mode because I never had the tech sheet. I can’t even find a PDF online.
For some reason me running through the tests made the fridge start working properly again. It’s only a friggin year old so it shouldn’t have problems yet anyway. Thanks again for this video.
Made my day thank you I was able to determine my problem by using this video and the instructions you provided.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Saving us do it yourselfers lots of cash! I put the instructions back!
You are simply awesome. Thanks a million!!!
So nice of you!
Very helpful video. The sheet is not present under my refrigerator . Where can I get another one ? Edit I found it under the upper right door hinge plastic cover .
Thanks for sharing this with the DYI community. I looked under my fridge for my spec. sheet but it was gone. Probably ended up in the delivery van floor. I tried the test mode on my Kenmore bottom mount fridge control panel but all I can get are two horizontal dashes ie. - - where the numbers used to be. This tells me that my board has definitely failed.
Thank you so much for this video! The tech sheet is missing from under the fridge and so this saved my life.
you don't make any sense ! so the tech sheet was "missing" and because it was missing it saved your life !
@@jimreilly6933 Samurai shows what the tech sheet says...which might be useful if...SOMEONE HAS STOLEN YOUR TECH SHEET! Really, it didn't take a lot of brains to figure out what laneshadgett was trying to say.
Very common problem symtom with the jazz control board in these refrigerators. Scroll up to the description and buy a new board at the link posted there. One year, no-hassle return policy if it doesn't fix it.
so are lower numbers mean colder, higher number mean warmer? mine is stuck on 7 / 4 right now. Refrigerator is not cooling, freezer must be full of frost/ice because I can't get the door open. Pulled hard and the handle came off on one side! S o need to try to make freezer warmer if I can get the control panel to change - just don't know whether to go up or down to make it warmer
Awesome! Have a Kenmore fridge that no longer auto defrosts. The problem started intermittently, but now frost builds up within a few days. First symptoms were rock hard ice cream in the freezer section and warmer temps in the fridge section. Eventually, the frost would build up to the point that cold air would not circulate up to the fridge section. Had to empty the freezer section and defrost it with a heat gun. What a pain. Just popped it into forced defrost after locating the tech sheet. I'll troubleshoot the rest this weekend. Thanks so much!
Sounds like the typical pattern of a failed Jazz board. Buy the new board from the link in the video description above. If, on the off chance, that doesn't fix it, return the board for a refund!
Thanks for the info! One question... my program code shows 08, but the code on the name plate says code 12, what does that mean?
Do you have a video for top fridge and bottom freezer thermistor replacement ? Thx
Mine is not doing the defrost cycle replace the thermistor and it happens again test the bimetal and heating element and they good now I’m about to replace this board
Quand le frigo est branché,le display affiche juste les -,-
Et il ne démarre pas.
Quel est le problème
great video, thank you. can you please help me with this?
I have AMANA AB2225pek. I replaced Tue jazz card and since then the damper always make noise, not when it open or close (not when it turn on) but almost always. I can't find a thechnician in my province who know how to fix it. I think that the problem is not the damper itself because it seems that the jazz keep giving voltage to the damper.
do you have an idea what can it be and how to fix it?
is there a video for replacing the Jazz control board too? I don't want to start on this wonderful repair journey if I'm going to be left alone with a new jazz board.
The lights are out on the display, do I need a new board?
I don't steal 'em, but I've relocated a few that seemed to be blocking airflow. I'd a thunk that appliance techs. have a version of All-Data or Mitchell on Demand or Identifix for Appliance Samurais...
I am replacing the jazz board on my maytag refrigerator i got the new one but its one piece it says technician must snap new board at break line utilizing proper ESD precautions what do i do?
Jeff Murray The new boards come connected and have to be manually broken. There's a topic at Appliantology that talks about this: appliantology.org/topic/52339-kenmore-bottom-mount-refrigerator-model-59676063701/
SamuraiRepairman thanks i got it i was just nervous to break it and damage the part
Paltry dilemma solved courtesy of this awesome video tip, big thanks...& honestly, I was going to put the service mode/test manuals back.........but my dog ate them :(
(kidding of course) btw, cost of total repair???.....0$ ;)
I have a Maytag MFD2562VEB3 and the food in the fridge is freezing. I tried to raise the temp in the fridge but that button doesn't seem to work. The minus button works and the buttons on the freezer side work. Does this sound like the control board or just the button pad?

Great video, I have a maytag mff2557hew and it doesn't make ice, is there a water filter in it? Also my filtered water spout next to my kitchen sink passes through my fridge and just dribbles out, pls help!

Love this video! my settings won't adjust, they're stuck on #4 freezer, #7 fridge (even after unplugging the refrigerator for 10min.). does the board need replaced, or would diagnostic mode indicate a different problem?
Same issue here ! I noticed you did not get a reply ! Not much hope for me then.
Mine will not go into mode and jazzboards turns off an on randomly
Thank you so much! Before I saw this, I manually took apart the entire freezer compartment, defrosted, then back together. I replaced the thermostat, that was the faulty culprit first time, but my freezer just "froze" up again. I'm thinking it's the JAZZ board. Question - in the Force Defrost mode, can you still open/close the fridge and not affect the long defrost program? Also, I'm assuming that the long defrost program turns off after it's complete...again, I'm assuming and you know what that means! Cheers.
Mike Weston The LONG defrost cycle is used in the factory and it is recommended that it NOT be used in the field/home.
my whirlpool has this jazz board. The defrost heater comes on and stays on for a complete defrost like it should but only in forced defrost mode. it will not automatically defrost, but putting it into forced mode once daily and letting it run works fine.
so why???
A. The defrost heater and defrost thermostat are working properly.
B. The control board IO and relays are working properly.
the only thing left is the software on the board is not commanding the defrost mode automatically. Seems like they are purposely programmed to fail every 2 years like clockwork so you have to buy a new one. Forced defrost mode and automatic defrost mode both use the same IO on the board and the same exact physical hardware is used to complete a cycle. So not automatically doing this proves to me it is intentional software programming preventing or turning off the automatic defrosting of the refrigerator causing wasted electricity and spoiled food.
am i missing something here???

Is there one on line somewhere?thabx. what do I do? call the appliance repair guy? $75 to tell me what is wrong

Great video. My tech sheet is not with my fridge though. Can you share any other info on the tech sheet for service mode instructions? I have scoured the web and cannot find anything, Much appreciated!!
Here's a tech sheet for a common Jazz board refrigerator model. The programming is the same for all models using a Jazz board so this should work for yours. www.dropbox.com/s/mi7236vo2261rq5/Whirlpool%20Refrigerator%20GX5FHDXVY01%20Tech%20Sheet%20-%20W10238844.pdf?dl=0
@@AppliantologyOrg Just in case no one told you today, you're awesome! Thank you so much for the share! Very much appreciated.
I have an Amana fridge like this video, but single door rather than French, anyways when I bought this fridge a few years back was sold with no serial tags so I have no code. The model number is ABD2533DEW, what do u recommend for code on Jazz?
esteban santana
No numbers, just 2 dashes on mine. Tried to reset. Just the dashes no matter what.
Good, but you left out the confirmation step of pushing the RF up button one more time after entering the diagnostic mode.
Does a fridge need to be reprogrammed if it was sitting for a few months??
no it doesn't.. AH
Were can I get a set of instruction to keep on hand

it is not a jazz control board it has separate degrees for temp settings for each side of the Frig..
Hi David. Come on over to the Samurai Appliance Repair Forums and we'll help you sort it out there. This page will get you started: @concierge/faq.html
why steal the tech sheet when you just cant take picture of all the pages.... more convenient as you will always have access to them.
5:58 shows you can test the damper.
