Eric for Model Number GX5FHDXTQ00 My Whirlpool Refrigerator is warm while my freezer is cold. I noticed ice on the evaporator coils and the vents at the back of the freezer being blocked by ice. I unplugged frig and cleaned off coils and it worked fine. After about 10 days, the problem reappeared. Unsure what the most likely cause is for my model. Had a repairman here after I thawed the frig and he said there was nothing wrong. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks. Eric
Answer Hello Eric. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
