Anyone know where I can get an adapter wiring harness to convert from using the old type Defrost Control Board PART# 241508001 to a newer Defrost Control Board Part #240554502 in a Frigidaire

I just discovered there are wiring harness adapters as I used one on my car to install a new cd player recently. I found this one on the internet not sure if it is the same car you have.

then you can buy a harness adapter from this adapter to the make of cd player like as an example Kenwood Cd player adapter.

A car auto store may know about these wiring harness adapters the advantage of using them is it makes it easy to install the cd player and if you ever decide to change the cd player in the future you can buy the adapter suited to the future player and plug it into the malibu car wiring adapter as the car adapter converts the factory wiring into a universal wiring standard.

A tip
make sure the radio and cd player works and the climate control work properly before completely re assembling the dash board .
I forgot the aerial cable plug !


I used Aeropro brand of wiring harness for my car that I got from
Car Accessory store in my country . I had to cut one wire and connect it to Pontrol to get my power aerial to work correctly. Which the store salesman helped me work out which wire controlled the cars power aerial

we call that a bad board... you dont get to replace components on an appliance control board. just look for the least expensive place to buy a new board and order it.

Some newer refrigerators have been using an electronic board instead of an mechanical defrost timer. The adaptive defrost control does the same job as the defrost timer ( shuts off the refrigerator cooling items and redirects the power to the defrost heater for the defrosting cycle, then redirects the power to the compressor and fans to come back on when the defrost cycle is over ). This adaptive defrost system is a bit different when testing, normally speaking if the defrost heater and defrost thermostat ohm ok, we replace the adaptive defrost board.

Inside the refrig section at the top about 2" in from each side in the back , there are "D" slots to put a finger in , and pull downward and foreward , to remove the control panel cover . Once removed , there is a 1/4" screw on each side holding the adjustment indicator panel on , 1 phillips screw behind both light bulbs , and 1 screw holding the complete panel to the rear wall . After removing these 5 screws , at the top right corner , with about 6-8 wires going to it , is the adaptive defrost board . Sometimes you can see the electronic board and on newer refrig's , a white box will be seen. Inside this box , is the adaptive defrost control

If your model is the GLHS269ZDB0 the most likely cause for this is the adaptive defrost control Click Here=> Adaptive Defrost Control
P/N: 241508001-These refrigerators are a little tricky when it comes to adaptive defrost so stick with me on this one because when they go bad strange things will happen. Look for burn marks on board after removal and examine closely.

Because Your model has an adaptive defrost board Part number Click Here=> 241508001 it is the most likely reason for the defrost or not cooling problem. Frost or snow will be collecting on the freezer walls. Click Here=> Frigidaire Controls FRS6LF7JW3 number 23 is the adaptive defrost and 115 is the auto damper and I need you to make sure it is opening and closing properly. This refrigerator is a little complex because the thermostat, auto dampre and Adaptive defrost are all wired together so don't give up until we locate the one of the three causing the problem. setting warmer freezer should open damper and cause colder fresh food. Stick with me on this.

Click here=> Wiring Diagram note wire 6 goes to auto damper so if ADC board or a thermostat defevtive that will be the cause.

I too had an aging frig with a similar problem. It's probably either your defrost timer or the defrost heating element. If you're handy, you can troubleshoot the problem yourself by following the suggestions found here. It's not a complicated fix, but if you are uncomfortable taking your refrigerator apart, then contacting a qualified repair person may be your best bet. Hope this information helps!

Either the start relay and start capacitor or the Adaptive Defrost control is burned out. If you have a voltage meter we can test a few things like the compressor and the capasitor. The part number for the Adaptive defrost is 241508001 and found inside the fresh food compartment behind the control panel. I can help you locate the problem if you like. Let me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze

your refrigerator does not have a conventional defrost timer. it has an adaptive defrost control board. it looks like a white plastic box with a wire harness plugged into it. it may be inside the refrigerator with the control knobs. the problem could also be caused by the defrost heater or thermostat, both in the freezer behind the block of ice.

i would look behind rear wall of freezer, lower compartment, sounds like a short in the defrost circuit. remove the panel inside freezer and check for possible broken wire s
