Joel N for Model Number Ed2shaxmb10 I've got a ten year old Whirlpool Ed2shaxmb10 side by side fridge. A year ago it started freezing things in the fridge compartment, even when thermostat was set to lowest setting. Replaced thermostat and it's been fine till now. Now, the fridge doesn't call for cool air unless I tap the thermostat panel, or, set thermostat to zero for a minute or two, then turn up again. When working, It's cooling very cold in fridge section again, but within a day usually never kicks in again and both fridge and freezer get to room temperature. In other words, it only runs continuously if we keep messing with thermostat or tapping the panel. Freezer section has been unplugged and allowed to completely thaw and still having this problem. Replace thermostat again? Defrost control board?
Answer Joel, This issue would sound more likely to be a faulty thermostat rather than the defrost control but since the thermostat has been replaced would suggest a defrost control board if it is shutting down once a day but the rest of the time it runs.
