My Whirlpool fridge is warm freezer works fine noticed the evaporator fan is not running , compressor is running and feels very warm
For model number W8RXNGMWQ03
Hello Russ, thank you for your question! If the fridge is warm, but the freezer remains at the proper temperature AND the evaporator fan motor is not turning you should replace the Evaporator Fan Motor
part number WPW10188389. Please enter the part number into the site for current price and availability. Good luck with your repair!

My freezer and fridge are warm. I checked the evaporator the motor fan is running and i noticed a small frosted around the bimetal thermostat area. I replaced new capacitor, compressor start relay and overload protector and defrost timer. Now i am not sure defrost control board may need to replace?
For model number ER8GHKXMQ03
Hello Minh, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the Clip-On Bimetal Defrost Thermostat with Leads. The best way to do this is to remove the thermostat from the refrigerator so you can control the temperature of the sensor. You can let the sensor warm up to room temperature. With the sensor warmed up to room temperature the sensor should read approximately 6.2K Ohms at 68°F. With the thermistor submerged is a glass full of ice water, the sensor should be very close to 32°F which should read approximately 16.3K Ohms. If the values that you are getting are far off from these readings, then the sensor is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps!

Freezer and refrigerator not cooling, i only had frost around the bi-mental thermost, i have replaced all of the defrost parts but still not cooling, i replaced the defrost control board first and after two days i could see that the freezer was starting to freeze then it stopped. What else could be causing my problem
For model number t8txnwfwb01
Hello Staunchis, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing the Part Number: WPW10662129 Capacitor. Usually if the fridge and freezer stay warm, it has something to do with the capacitor on the compressor. I hope this helps!

Loud click coming from thermostat cover. On/off sound. A day later i have frost built in freezer and bottom is not cold as it normally would be. I ordered a thermostat. Should i have ordered this part instead?
For model number A8RXNGMWN00
Hello Robert, Thank you for the question. If the sound is coming from the Thermostat, it is more then likely the issue. Hope this helps!

My freezer keep on building ice and not defrosted plus there is on and of noise come from the defrost bord control
For model number Er8yhmxsl00
Hello Mike, thank you for reaching out. We have researched the model and found that the issue might be with the Defrost Heater, part number PS11739991. The heater is close to the cooling coils and melts any ice build-up. If the issue remains, we would recommend checking the Defrost Thermostat, part number PS11739696, and Defrost Board, part number PS372260. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Thanks again for your great question.

Unit no longer cycles on & off, but now runs continuously. Freezer & refrigerator temperatures are OK. Are boondocks so we turn Unit off at night. Have cleaned condensing coils. What else can I check?
For model number WRT316SFDM00
