Mathieu - For model number WRF540CWHZ02
October 18, 2023
Hi, my whirlpool fridge/freezer model WRF540CWHZ02 works great for a couple of hours. The fridge and freezer get to the set temperatures. After a while the display shows the freezer temp as being very warm and It seems the freezer keeps freezing because it thinks it's warm. I was thinking of ordering the thermistor. I haven't seen this specific symptom. Do you think this may solve the issue? Any other recommendations?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Mathieu, thank you for reaching out. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest checking the temperature control board, part number PS11757087, to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

the fridge doesnt cool evenly. the back left side sometimes freezes while the rest is approximately 3.5 degrees C. is this related to an air circulation problem
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Larry, Thank you for your question. If the fresh food section of your refrigerator is too warm, we recommend checking both the evaporator and the condenser fan motors for continuity with a multimeter on the Rx1 setting to see if they are operating normally. Before removing and checking these parts, we recommend unplugging the refrigerator from the electrical outlet. When inspecting the evaporator fan motor, first check it for signs of damage and to make sure that the motor shaft turns freely with little resistance. If there are no signs of damage, test it with the multimeter. You should receive a reading between 10 and 100 ohms. If you receive any other reading, you will need to replace the evaporator fan motor. When inspecting the condenser fan motor, look for any debris or obstructions that could be preventing the fan from moving freely. You should also inspect the condenser fan motor for any signs of wear or damage. If there are no signs of damage, test it with multimeter. You should receive a reading between 80 and 120 ohms. If you receive any other reading, you will need to replace the condenser fan motor. We hope this helps!

Triping the breaker after it run for a few days some time a week
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Harold, thank you for getting in touch. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the defrost heater assembly, part number PS11738605, to solve the problem. A malfunctioning defrost heater assembly can most probably cause the circuit breaker to trip. We hope this helps!

Removing the existing filter by rotating as directed and then dislodging from 'docking' station proved difficult. Turns out, the old filter is under a bit of vacuum pressure and getting the unit to separate or release was a challenge.

  • Jake from Novato, CA
  • Easy

I removed the drop-down outer housing by gently prying the sides of the two pivot pins at the rear. This gave me move 'room' to grip and slightly rotate then pull the old filter forward and away from the tight suction connection. I was concerned that I would be too forceful for the plastic assemblies and would break something; deliberate motions and a steady thought process on the problem helped disengage the darned old filter!
