James - For model number WRT316SFDM00
June 10, 2026
Our refrigerator is mounted in a 2017 Thor Chateau RV on an E-450 Ford chassis. It has been in the off position throughout winter months. It is plugged into a 30AMP - 120VAC shore power at my home. I restarted it at 0800 hours this morning. The (not measured) freezer gets really cold. The issue is at 1700 hours, (9) hours later, the lower section of the refrigerator only lowers to 50 degrees. The control knob is turned to coldest position. There is nothing inside but a few soda cans. I know this is not normal, last year we saw 38 degrees in the lower refrigerator section. (not the freezer) The Freezer control know is turned to MAX! I am open for comments regarding this email inquiry. Thank, James! PLEASE EXPEDITE !
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello James, thank you for reaching out to us. We would suggest giving the refrigerator a full day to adjust before making temperature changes. Turn your freezer's airflow control to the recommended setting rather than MAX!. Max settings freeze the damper, preventing cool air from circulating to the lower section. Check the refrigerator temperature sensor, part number PS11739216 and the control thermostat, part number PS11755844. Make sure they are properly connected. Level the RV: off-level parking causes the cooling unit's fluids to pool, severely inhibiting the cooling process. Ensure your RV is level. Check that the fresh food door is sealing properly so warm outside air isn't entering. We hope this information helps!

Compressor comes on for a few seconds and goes off. It is barely cooling
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Ken, Thank you for your question. If the compressor stays on for a few seconds and then turns off, the issue may be with the capacitor. It provides the voltage required to start the compressor and keep it running and allows the compressor to easily cycle on and off. This capacitor mounts directly onto the compressor start relay. If the capacitor is faulty the compressor may get unusually hot and draw excessive amperage. It the compressor overheats, it may fail to run until it cools down again. You will need to test it for continuity with a multimeter on the Rx1 setting to see if it is operating normally. Before removing and checking any part on your refrigerator, unplug it from the electrical outlet. The capacitor carries a charge. To discharge it, use a screwdriver with an insulated handle and place the metal portion of the screwdriver on the terminals for a few seconds. Then place the probes on the terminals. The reading you should receive will vary from model to model, and may be indicated on the outside of the capacitor, or in your owner’s manual. If your test does not produce the reading the manufacturer recommends, you need a replacement capacitor. If your tests do produce the recommended readings you may have a defective compressor, which will need to be tested by a qualified professional as it is a live circuit test. We hope this helps!

My refrigerator stopped cooling and the freezer section stopped freezing
441 of 556 people found this instruction helpful.
  • garth from forest lake, MN
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
I knew the chances of all the freon leaking out was unlikely so I looked at the wiring to the compressor and there was a capacitor and a starter/overload so i figured I would start there. I went on line and found the parts at this site and they were less than the minimum service call charge for a service tech so I figured what the heck le t's give her a shot so I did give it a shot. I ordered the parts and they were there in less time than a service tech could come out and i installed the parts and guess what for 90.00 in parts and 15 minutes in time I repaired my refrigerator. Thanks guys, It took less time to order the parts than it did to make the repair so thanks, your website rocks and is very well designed so my hat is off to you guys!

Evaporator Fan failure

  • William from Middletown, NY
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver
The reason I repaired it myself was because the repairman that diagnosed the problem.didn't come back in two weeks. The evaporator fan sits behind a vented wall in the freezer and directs cold air into freezer and refrigerator.I removed the ice make assembly first and then the freezer wall held in place by two sheet metal nuts. Then remov ed wires from fan motor. Removed the fan blade from fan motor,which was press fitted on,then removed fan motor from bracket assembly(make sure and retain the two vibration rubber washers on back and front of motor. Reinstall new motor with vibration washers and press fan blade on new motor. Install in bracket assemble and reassemnble.

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.
