Teresa, if the refrigerator is constantly beeping, this can be caused by a failed door switch. The refrigerator door switch WR23X21444 should not have continuity unless the door is activating it. The freezer door switch WR23X21444 would have continuity from the purple wired terminal to the yellow wired terminal when not activated by the door and from the yellow wired terminal to the red wired terminal when activated.
