Mike for Model Number whirlpool GX5SHTXTS00 Fridge is getting warm, freezer fine. turn off over night and its fine for several weeks. Wondering if it might be the defrost timer. If so, whats the correct part number?
Answer Hello Mike. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the evaporator coils in the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater WP67002493 and the defrost thermostat WP67003426. 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 control board WPW10503278. 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...
