Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I test the potentiometer with a multimeter?
Set your multimeter to ohms. Disconnect the wiring harness from the potentiometer. Place the probes on the potentiometer's terminals and rotate the shaft. The resistance reading should change smoothly. If it jumps or reads open, the potentiometer is likely faulty.
•Where can I find a replacement temperature control knob for my Admiral refrigerator?
You can find replacement knobs at appliance parts retailers online or at local appliance repair shops. Be sure to have your refrigerator's model number handy to ensure you get the correct part.
•If the main control board is faulty, can it be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
In most cases, replacing the main control board is the more practical and reliable solution. While some components on the board might be repairable, it requires specialized electronics knowledge and equipment. A new control board is a guaranteed fix, whereas a repair might fail again.
