EH050FXDN00 Whirlpool Freezer - Overview

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 let'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!

changed the starter connected to the compressor

Unpluged the freezer
Removed the knob from the thermostat.
Removed the nut securing the thermostat
Removed the wires from the thermostat
Removed the sensing bulb from the bottom of the freezer by sliding it out, after marking with tape to get the insertion length.

Secured the new thermostat with the new nut and threaded the new sensing bulb thru the plastic loops and inserted it 15 inches into its holder.
Snapped the wiring back on the thermostat and plugged freezer back in.
