I would like to know what the ohms value for the thermistor, that is located on the inside, to see if it needs to be replaced. The part no. Is wpw10384183.Thank you, john
For model number WZF34X16DW00

Hi John, thank you for your question. There should actually be a tech sheet with what the thermistor is supposed to be reading behind the bottom kickplate grill of your appliance on the left hand side. However, if you do not have that there, usually at room temperature you should be reading around 11000 ohms. In a cup of ice water you should be reading 27000 ohms. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

My fridge and freezer are to warm. I replaced the capacitor and start relay and the evaporator fan seem to be running fine. My question is, is there any other part the could be the problem?

The lower refrigerator section is freezing the contents, just like the top section. Would that be caused by part# 13, temp sensor for the lower section?

Our refrigerator is freezing everything. We ordered the thermistor (part w11438736) and replaced it, but it's still doing it. What would be the recommendation to try next?
For model number WRT318FZDW02
PartSelect logo
Hello Sharon, Thank you for the question. When the coils on your fridge are dirty or dusty, then the compressor needs to work harder and longer to keep the freezer temperature at freezing temperature and can cause the Fresh Food Section temperature to be lower and freeze food. We hope this helps!

The evaporator coals are freezing up. We have replaced the thermal mister on the copper line. My question- Is there a Defrost thermostat for this refrigerator and if so where is it located. Thank you
For model number WRS325SDHB01
PartSelect logo
Hello Melinda, thank you for the question. The control board, part number PS16217969, manages the functions of your refrigerator, such as cooling and defrosting times. The control board is found in the compressor section of the refrigerator at the back side. We hope that helps!

Does not defrost, frost accumulates until the fan is rubbing ice.
For model number WRT318FZDW05
PartSelect logo
Hello Glenn, thank you for writing. If the ice that is building up around the fan and other parts of the freezer is a frosty type, then you could have a warm moist air leak coming through the door or another opening that is causing this problem. You may have faulty or worn gaskets Refrigerator Door Gasket - White PS11727983 and Freezer Door Gasket PS11731600. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, my fridge is not cooling properly or up and down. The fan is blowing perfectly but it is not freezing. I have also noticed that it is not stopping and is running all the time, I would appreciate your help.
For model number WRT318FZDM02
PartSelect logo
Hi Adiel, thank you for contacting us. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest checking the following parts: the evaporator fan motor, part number PS11740359, the capacitor, part number PS11757023, and the evaporator fan blade, part number PS11738954. Checking or replacing these parts will also fix your refrigerator's not-stopping issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!

The freezer is not defrosting so the food is getting warm in the refrigerator because the ice build up in the freezer blocks the air flow. There are two thermistors. One in the freezer and one in the control panel in the frig. How do I test each one to be sure that their working? The paper that has all the diagrams under the fridge doesn't show temps for either thermistor. I could really use your help on this one.
For model number WRT311FZDW01

Hello William, Thank you for the question. At room temperature you should be reading around 11000 ohms. In a cup of ice water you should be reading 27000 ohms. We hope that helps. Good luck with your repair!
