Denese Service Manual for your AFD2535DES is HERE and the test I need you to do may seem a little hard to do but feel we can identify the problem as either a=> 67003903 Air Damper or a 12002355 Thermistor You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these documents. The Adobe Acrobat Reader is available as a free download. I also want you to remove the rear panel inside the back of your freezer and insure that no ice or frost buildup is causing the 67003903 Air Damper to be stuck in the open position. Testing/Check resistance across terminals on the two terminals on the 67003903 air damper. If no resistance across terminals replace damper control. Once you are able to download the Service Manual I will be here explain and to answer any question you have. Thanks, Sea Breeze

Carl has the compressor been running continuous? Also between the freezer and fresh food compartment you will have a damper control hiding behind the controls. Some have a lever arm that helps adjust the damper to reduce or increase airflow from freezer and it is possible that the damper has become stuck wide open or the lever arm that when you slide the arm to adjust damper has come loose from the damper.

What does the wall inside freezer look like? Frosted over? Temperatures in freezer are at what ? And can you look to see if damper part 67003903 is opening and closing insid the vent duct from freezer. I have a lot of questions that I need to communicate wth you if you want my help. Let me know if you whant this, Sea Breeze

It sounds like your fridge has problem with the damper stuck open. The damper is in the top-back-center of the fresh food section. I can't tell by the pics I have how to get to it, but looks like it's simple to get to it - just remove the damper cover.
Check the damper for the ice buildup. Clean if needed. Unplug the fridge and check continuity on damper motor. Replace damper if no continuity.
Check the microswitch on the damper assembly. C on switch [where it connects to black wire] should make contact with NC [yellow/red] when button is not pressed, and C with NO [blue/red] should make contact when button is down).
With temp in the fresh food section so low, the damper should be closed, and if it isn't there should be power (110v ac) coming to the motor either continuously until it closes or for a short period of time within a few minutes after you try to set the temperature, can't tell by schematic. Unplug, connect your DMM in "volts ac" parallel to the damper motor (red and green/yellow wires), and plug fridge back in. If it does not show 110v immediately, set the DMM to show the maximum voltage registered, and leave in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, with doors closed. If there was 110v, and the damper is still open - replace damper. Otherwise it's very likely that the control board failed.

If the freezer is good and does not have frost building on the rear wall the electric controled damper between the freezer may be frosted shut or defective. Part Number 67003903. Check that first Sea Breeze

This is a problem in one of the damper-related components, most likely the switch, but it may also be the motor or the damper door could be jammed.

The damper is a door inside that opens or closes depending on cooking mode. If the controller senses that the door is not in the right position, it will shut down the cook cycle.

Many models stop after 59 seconds if there's a problem with the damper saystem.

See the attached sample photo for a typical damper assembly.

Try damper part number W10167268 from Whirlpool. They re-engineered the part, it's works different. Whirlpool issued a bulletin to servicers, but won't cover it under warranty (I have tried for many customers) "A bulletin is NOT a recall"
