Refrigerator shuts off and won't start again. I can unplug it and plug it back in, or run diagnostic test number 6 and it will start again and run for about 12 hours

Hello Kerry, thank you for getting in touch. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the control board, part number PS12346909, to solve the problem. A malfunctioning control board can most probably cause this issue. We hope this helps!

How do I move this refrigerator? Does it have front wheels?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Roland, Thank you for the question. There are rollers at the back of the appliance, just tip the appliance backwards a bit and this will take the weight off the front and allow you to roll the appliance forward. We hope this helps!

Whirlpool freezer/fridge will stop working after a few days; shut off and turn on and works again for a few days.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi JG, Thank you for your question. Based on what you described, the refrigerator may be going through the defrost cycle. The refrigerator may also stop running once the correct temperature has been reached. Sometimes this may also result from a buildup of ice around the evaporator fan motor and blade, preventing it from operating properly. If there is an ice buildup around the evaporator fan motor and blade, you will need to defrost the refrigerator. If you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you!

I noticed my water dispenser filter needed to be replaced as the water flow was low.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Bill, thank you for asking. We would recommend checking the water filter, part number PS11701542, to fix the issue. If the filter is clogged, it may reduce the flow of water. We hope this solves your problem!

My refrigerator stopped cooling and the freezer section stopped freezing

  • garth from forest lake, MN
  • Really Easy

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!

Fridge was getting too warm, ice buildup on coils.

WARNING: REPLACING THIS PART REQUIRES CUTTING AND SPLICING ELECTRICAL WIRES. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS REPAIR IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING.

Part Info:
The bi-metal strip is clipped onto the evaporator coils and is designed to regulate the defrost coil temperature. If it is n ot functioning properly you may notice ice buildup preventing air flow (and preventing proper refrigeration), or more rarely the freezer side may get too warm during the defrost cycle.

Materials:
* Replacement bi-metal strip
* Wire cutters
* Wire strippers
* Wire nuts
* Electrical tape
* 10MM socket

Steps:

1: UNPLUG THE FRIDGE! If there is ice buildup, wait until the ice has melted. A box fan blowing at the ice will help melt it more quickly.

2: Remove the panel covering the evaporator coils. It's located inside the fridge, on the freezer side.

3: Un-clip the bi-metal strip from the evaporator coils.

4: Unplug the wires from the evaporator fan, defrost coil and bi-metal strip, then disconnect the main connector that is plugged into the rear wall.

5: Clip both wires to the old ( bad ) bi-metal strip. Cut close to the casing of the bi-metal strip so there are long wires to splice onto.

6: Strip 1/4 to 1/2 inches of insulation off of the ends of the wires ( depending on the size of the wire-nuts you use). Twist the bare wires slightly to prevent fraying.

7: Do the same for the ends of the wires on the (new) bi-metal strip.

8: Take the ends of the wires belonging to the (new) bi-metal strip and the wires coming from the main plug. Take the like-colored wires, and twist the bare metal ends together.

9: Twist on wire nuts, for both sets of wires. Make sure they are snug, with no bare wire showing.

10: Tape over the wire nuts with electrical tape. Tape over the wires nuts in a spiral fashion, completely covering the nut and both wires that are now spliced together. This will prevent accidental shorting.

11: Plug the main plug back into the rear wall of the fridge. Also re-connect the connectors to the evaporator fan and defrost coil. Make sure the clips on the connectors are snug to ensure a good connection.

12: Clip the new bi-metal strip onto the coils, in the same spot as before. ( Usually just after the small incoming copper tubing that connects to the coils, known as the expansion valve. That is usually the coldest spot on the coils during operation).

13: Replace the panel that covers the coils.

14: Plug the fridge back in... Now you fridge should defrost correctly. If it does not, your defrost coil could be burned out, or the control board could be faulty.
