Hello Whirlpool,
Our refrigerator periodically starts to leave pieces of ice on the fridges top shelf, which also freezes food items there, and water collects in the drawers too. When this happens, we have to turn it off, remove all food items, remove all the parts in the freezer to get to the water line, because it becomes frozen solid, and then we have to thaw all the ice out that line completely.
My hubby says it's because food particles get down in there and plug the water line up, I disagree that this is what is causing this to happen. We just went through this process a month or two ago and it seems to be happening again already! We do agree that this has become a real pain in our necks, especially now, in our golden years.
What do you believe the problem to be in this case? And what part might we need to replace to fix it?
We would really appreciate getting this problem resolved and having our refrigerator running properly again. Thank you so much for your time, and any advice you can provide in this matter,
A Whirlpool Refrigerator Owner

Hi Nancy, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest you check the damper control assembly, part number PS370936, first. The air damper control opens and closes to let the proper amount of cold air into the refrigerator compartment. If the damper does not close properly, it will let too much cold air into the refrigerator. Check the damper control to determine if it is broken or stuck open. If the damper control assembly is not faulty, then you may need to check the defrost thermostat, part number PS11742474. The defrost thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils. When the coils drop below a set temperature, the thermostat contacts close to allow power to flow to the defrost heater during the defrost cycle. A faulty defrost thermostat may not allow voltage to reach the defrost heater, resulting in the evaporator coils frosting over and causing a loss of airflow and cooling. If the defrost thermostat is not faulty, then you may need to check the temperature control thermostat, part number PS371295. If the temperature control thermostat is not working properly, it may cause the refrigerant system to run longer than necessary. As a result, the refrigerator will be too cold. If the temperature control thermostat is faulty, you may need to replace it. We hope this solves your problem!
Hi, how do I know if it's the defrost timer or thermostat that needs replacing?
For model number ET18PKXFW01
Hi Nancy, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, you may need to replace the defrost timer, part number PS11723171, or thermostat, part number PS11742474. If the refrigerator is too warm, the freezer won't defrost, and if the freezer is too warm, frost builds up on the freezer coils. You need to test both parts for continuity. If any of the parts do not have continuity, replace the part. We hope this information helps!
I troubleshot the problem by reading the electrical schematic and concluding the heating elements (defrost cables) were either defective or the bi-metal temp sensor was open. When closed the temp sensor completes the circuit for the current to flow through the heaters to defrost the cooling coils every 8 hours and then when the bimetal o
... Read morepens at 55 degrees the circuit is open and the coils are cooled because the refridgeration motor is in run mode. A timer between the motor and heater elements also was defective. The timer controls the cooling period and the defrost period. I ohmed out each part according to the spec sheet of normal resistance of parts and thus the bimetal and timer were defective. I gather a surge of some duration and amplitude affected these parts because a storm 24 hours prior to refridgerator problem had passsed through the area and the AC electrical power had oscillated several times during that event. I used hand tools to do the repair. If you are not mechanically inclined a step by step proceedure would be moot. It is a matter of disassembly and assembly paying close attention to fragile parts.
I used a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light rocker switch. Then, I unplugged the wires, plugged them into the new light rocker switch, and then popped the new switch into the hole. That's it! Lights began working again.
Trouble shot the electrical circuit per the electrical schematic and zeroed in when I noted the Defrost Timer circuit was open. When I tapped on the bottom of the timer it began functioning normally (for a few days). Ordered a new Defrost Timer Kit and along with the installation instruction, I watched the on-line video. It was very help
... Read moreful!! After installation was complete, I plugged the Refrigerator into the electrical outlet and.......nothing happened! Hmmm!
Removed the Defrost Time Kit and inspected it for any damage and found none. Then I placed a flathead screwdriver to the manual advance knob and slightly rotate the gear mechanism. I heard a distance "click”. I believe the Timer was in the ‘defrost’ mode when received.
I reinstalled the timer, verified the wiring connections and this time plugged the Refrigerator into the electrical outlet and ….. it worked!!!
I unplugged the refrigerator, finished the installation per the instructions, plugged the unit in and monitored it for a few hours (just in case). That was a week ago and the Refrigerator is working like new.
The instructions were written in a manner which required re-reading a few times as they could be a bit vague. The video was what really helped and I appreciate PartSelect adding it to the instructions.
