The appliance may have shared components or have been disturbed during access, so the earlier work provides useful context. It does not automatically mean the previous repair caused the new problem.
What the observation tells you
A precise invoice is more useful than a vague recollection that 'the freezer was fixed'. Dates and the period of normal operation afterwards help establish the sequence. Avoid assuming that a part fitted in one area controls only that compartment.
A useful next step
Provide the written findings and describe what changed now. Keep the current symptoms separate so the assessment does not simply repeat an old diagnosis.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
