Evaporator Fan failure
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 removed 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.

Food was freezing in the fridge
Spoke to a repair technician online described what was happening as food keep freezing in the fridge.
He advised me to change the thermistor and if that didn't work the control board as those are the only 2 things that would cause food to freeze.
Changed thermistor and fridge is running at proper temp very disappointed with whirlpool as fridge is only 2 years old and had issues already .
Now that its repaired its Time for a COLD beer !!!

Refrigerator runs continuously
I unplugged the refrigerator to remove power. I pried off the back plastic cover. Loosened the two screws with a nut driver. Disconnected the original thermistor and connected the new thermistor. Rerouted the wire and replaced the plastic covers. Restored power and waited for the refrigerator to return to temperature and shut off.

This didn't happen. The refrigerator continued to run. Contacted an appliance repair group and it was determined the `control circuit card' was defective. Part has been ordered. The thermistor did not resolve the problem, as stated in the original problem support contained on the web site.

Our refrigerator fan motor stopped working.
Most important, remove bracket attached to freezer rear wall and put entire fan motor assembly together, including attaching power supply, ground wire, front bracket and fan blade (be sure rubber vibration dampeners are in place on both brackets) THEN attach the whole assembly to the rear freezer wall! Doing it this way is so much easier, and you won't run the risk of losing a screw behind the condenser, as I did!

Replace Broken Freezer Handle
The first thing to know on this model is that the handles for the refrigerator and the freezer are identical parts. It is the plastic piece at the end of the handle that breaks. Unfortunately, they only sell the complete handle, which is a shame as it is expensive. To remove the broken Freezer Handle, use a small allen wrench to loosen the bolt on the side. The handle should then slide off easily. You may then remove the two screws at the bottom. Slide the new handle into place, and tighten the screws at the bottom first. This will ensure the handle is properly located. Then tighten the allen bolt on the sidewhile holding the handle agains the face of the freezer.
