Fridge is freezing everything. Only a couple of years old. I changed the thermostat and the cold control. Any idea on what I can do to save the fridge. I am already a few hundred dollars in and i don't want to give up.

Hi Chris. Make sure the gasket on the freezer door is air tight, it may need to be replaced. Also make sure the coils on your fridge are cleaned. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

My whirlpool refrigerator's serial number is VS92036635 Type 18MSTFA Mfg. Date 201905 I don't think I've had this refrigerator over 5 years. It's acting as if the compressor is bad. Not cooling at all. Just like to know when it was manufactured and the warranty of the compressor. Really need your help. I had a couple whirlpool refrigerators in the past that lasted for years. Also have a whirlpool freezer that's been running for about 40 years. Other people tell me it's the compressor that's bad. I disagree. Hope you can help.

Hi Richard, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, we would recommend checking the compressor start relay. The manufacturing date of your model is May 2019. The warranty is for one year from the date of purchase, when this major appliance is installed, operated and maintained according to instructions attached to or furnished with the product. We hope that helps!

Everything in the fridge keeps freezing no matter what the setting is
For model number WRT318FZDW02
PartSelect logo
Hi William, thank you for the question. Based on our research, we would suggest checking the thermistor, part number PS12745758. It senses the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends information to the electronic control. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope that helps!

My refrigerator stopped cooling and the freezer section stopped freezing
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!

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.

Lights inside refrigerator not working
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.
