Carl July 15, 2022 for Model Number GTH18EBB2RWW I have said refrigerator(GTH18EBB2RWW) and have purchased part WR09X20002 / AP5806677 for it. Your informative video shows the installation of the part into a unit that uses a gray wire on top and double brown for the bottom blade. My fridge uses a yellow and a black wire to connect to the control. My question is. What color wire attaches to which blade for my unit? Thank you for your time and efforts in this matter.
1 Answer Carl, Thanks for the question!!! The wires can go on either terminal. A thermostat acts as a switch and it will make no difference which wire goes where. Read More...
Daniel December 26, 2021 for Model Number GTH18EBC2RWW The freezer works... down to -50F. The refrigerator stays at 50+ up to 60 degrees. I ordered and replaced Temperature Control Thermostat WR09X20002 / AP5806677 #WR09X20002 There is no improvement except Freezer is 0 at the set here line (about half way to ice crystal on controller) What should I do next? Daniel
1 Answer Daniel, it is recommended that the vents going from the freezer to the refrigerator are inspected for ice blockage. If there is ice blocking a vent, it would need to be cleared and the defrost drain would need to be cleared of any clogs it would have. Read More...
Mickey July 18, 2021 for Model Number GTS16DBEJRWW Have a wireless temperature sensor in freezer, alert unit. Set hi temp 25 deg F. Has history monitoring, normally see hi 6-7, low 0-1 deg. Then beeper went off one nite. Been experiencing wild temperature swings. We removed food. Overnite once went to 51 deg. But when it does this, readily cools to near 0 deg. Adjust thermostat to slight cooler. Been fluctuating -10 to above 25. Coil is clean, fan at lower rear back blowing/venting ok. When temperature starts creeps up, fan in freezer not blowing. When temperature starts falling, freezer fan blowing. No frost/ice inside. Have bottled water, freezes hard. But low temperature -8 to -10 range. Too cold. Adjust thermostat slightly to try reach near 0 deg. But later, overnite seeing high 15-16 deg, but not set off sensor monitor high beeper. Frig in garage, ambient temperature mid 90s, humid during day, 78-80 at nights. Thermostat? Or defrost timer or other?
1 Answer Mickey, The unit being in the higher temp Ambient air will cause the unit to not cool as well as it should except when the temperatures drop. Also when the temperature elevates may be at times where the unit is going into a defrost and would be the reason that the fan is not blowing. If there is an issue with the unit it would more likely have to do with the thermostat on the unit. Read More...
Berkshiresmom August 10, 2020 for Model Number TPX24SIYABS I noticed that there were many questions regarding WR09X20002 relating to temperature control. Has the issue been resolved or is that still an issue for this part?.
1 Answer The amount of questions on a part does not reflect the part having issues. If your temperature control is bad and this is the one for your model, you should replace it with this genuine GE part. Read More...
Mitchell November 08, 2019 for Model Number GTS17GBSBRWW The Unit only turns on when the temperature setting is up to 7 but then the food gets frozen(temps below 0). I discovered that if you turn it lower the whole thing doesn't start up anymore and the fridge and freezer warms right up. Is this a temperature control issue?
1 Answer Mitchell, based on the information provided, this would certainly be a temperature control WR09X20002 issue as the thermostat should be reaching 33 to 41°F when set to 5 depending on the ambient room temperature. Read More...
Goatfarmer August 29, 2019 for Model Number GTH18CBC2RBB It's running all the time. I've adjusted the temperature to almost the lowest setting and it still runs. Frost is building up on the back of the freezer. Could a faulty temperature control making it run constantly lead the evaporator cool freeze up?
1 Answer Hello Goatfarmer, This is most likely caused by a bad temperature control WR09X20002. Read More...
Dan July 12, 2016 for Model Number GTS16BBSBRWW The unite doesn't stop running gets good and cold on 5 but does not stop running.
1 Answer Hello Dan. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the temp control WR09X20002 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Antonio. You need to unplug the unit and remove the screws securing the control panel in the fresh food section. Drop the panel down and access the temp control. Remove the old control and install the new control in the same location in the unit. Read More...
Robert December 08, 2014 for Model Number GE fridge GTS18GBSARWW Fridge and freezer stopped cooling over night. Fridge temp approx. 50, freezer food half defrosted. Light on, no compressor, cond. fan or evap fan. running. Moved temp control both ways, nothing. Unplugged, re-plugged, nothing. Emptied unit. Moved unit out, comp. cold to touch. Cleaned condenser. 5 minutes later while scratching head, unit turned on. Cond. fan and evap fan running. Whats up?? Stuck defrost control? WR09X10049 Stuck defrost t-stat? WR50X10021 OR ??? THANK YOU
1 Answer Robert, Based on the issue it sounds like the unit did stick in the defrost cycle. This would be caused most likely by a defrost control part number WR9X502. Read More...
New Customer August 14, 2014 for Model Number GTH15BBRERWW Where should the temperature control be set? This refrigerator is in a rental unit, and was not keeping food cold enough so have it set at between 3 and 4 which has improved the refrigerator temperature slightly. The freezer does not freeze bread - where is the temperature control for the freezer? I don't know how old this unit is - can you advise if it is still current or how old it might be? Thanks for your help!
1 Answer Hello. Usually middle is the recommended setting from the manufacturer. Look for an even frost pattern on the evaporator coils. If there is not one, you have sealed system failure and will need an HVAC tech to repair the unit. Read More...
