Customer Questions and Answers for Compressor Starting Device Kit by Whirlpool

Billy, Your ADC board 12050506 could be the issue, but you can't test it until you get the compressor to run for more than 7 seconds. Forced Defrost To force a defrost cycle, open and close either the freezer or refrigerator door light switch 4 times in a 8 second period. Allow at least 1/2 second between each switch condition. Important 1. The compressor must be operating when forcing defrost. 2. The evaporator fan motor is fan delayed through the defrost thermostat and will not function after a defrost cycle until the defrost thermostat closes. 3. To bypass the 6 minute dwell time after a defrost or to terminate a forced defrost, disconnect power to the refrigerator for 30 seconds. It's more likely an issue with the start device WPW10189190 or compressor issue.
