The freezer coils in my Whirlpool fridge MBR1953WES2 keep freezing up. I have located the service manual in the bottom of the fridge and can force defrost the fridge using the FD code. The fridge will continue to operate fine as long as I force defrost the fridge daily, if not the coils will freeze up again. Through the notes here it appears that the control board AP4366538 is fine as I can force defrost the fridge. So is the problem the defrost timer or defrost thermostat? If so, is AP4310486 the part that I need to replace?

Richard P. for Model Number MBR1953WES2

Answer Hello Richard. Based on the information you provided, if the unit has to be manually defrosted to clear the ice off the coils, you will need to order and replace the electronic control 12784415 in the unit. It is bad and is not going into the defrost cycle like it should and will need to be replaced. This is used as the defrost timer for this model.

How does one remove the back panel inside the freezer to access the bi-metal AP4310486?

John W. for Model Number GB2SHDXTQ02

Answer Hello John. First you will need to remove the basket and the freezer door from the unit. Once these are removed, you will then remove the icemaker from the side of the freezer compartment. Then remove the screws securing the back wall to the unit. In the center of the back wall there is a vent. To remove the vent, there is a clip in the slot on the bottom that needs to be released to remove the cover. Once you remove the center cover, you will need to remove the cover on the right side and remove the thermistor from the cover. Once all of this is removed, you should be able to remove the back panel and access the bi-metal W10165425.

Hi-I have a Whirlpool refrigerator as indicated above and the bottom freezer acumulates ice on both the evaporator coil as well as a bit inside the cabinet. Someone had previously replaced the bimetal defrost due to the same problem. My question (s) are, what generally causes the freezing on the evaporator, since I checked continuity on the defrost heater and it shows that it is good (continuity, low ohms reading)? Should the bimetal defrost t'stat show normally open or closed when exposed to higher temps, and does this initiate the defrost cycle when it opens or closes? Also, since someone else repaired the refrigerator before me, I found no clip on the bimetal t'stat, therefore it was not coming in direct contact with the evap coil. What is the exact location the new bimetal t'stat should be when I replace it? I am actually a plumbing/HVAC contractor with extensive diagnostic experience in the field, but just a bit rusty on the nuances of refrigerators. Any and all complete comprehensive replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Mark S. for Model Number EB95SHKXVQ01

Answer Hello Mark. If the bi-metal W10165425 is cold, it should read closed. If it is hot, it should read open. The Bi-metal attaches to the top of the evaporator assembly on the large copper line. If the bi-metal and the heater test good, you will need to replace the control board 12784415. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
