Dave February 23, 2012 for Model Number KSRP25FNwhoo Freezer is working fine but refergirator side is freezing foods. I replaced the thermistor and still have the same problem.
1 Answer Hello Dave. Sounds like the diffuser WP2216112 isnt closing. First check for an air leak around the door seals and at the ice door W10823377. An air leak will cause moisture from the air (humidity) to condense in the diffuser area and it could be blocked open by frost. If no air leak is detected you either have a bad diffuser or, since you have replaced the thermistor, the control 8201673 could be bad. Before you replace the control, unplug the unit for 10 minutes then reconnect to the power supply and see if it resets the microprocessor. Sure hope this helps Read More...
Alex November 03, 2011 for Model Number KSRS25CSMS00 Food on fridge side are getting too cold-getting freezed up, more on top shelf than on lower shelf. Sometimes I noticed water is on bottom of the freezer. Should I replace the thermostat?
1 Answer Hello Alex. Check and make sure the diffuser WP2216112 in the unit is opening and closing properly. If not, it will cause the items to freeze in the refrigerator. If the diffuser is good, you could have a bad control board 2321712. Hope this helps. Read More...
Don September 27, 2011 for Model Number kenmore elite 54604300 If the bypass switch in the diffuser, part # 2216112 is open when the diffuser is closed, cause the compressor to run constantly? Drops to 28 degrees below zero. Refrigerator is holding the right temp. Replaced the thermisters and microcomputer.
1 Answer Hello Don. If you have replaced the thermistors and the microcomputer, and the diffuser stays open and does not close, you will need to replace the diffuser WP2216112. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jeff September 13, 2011 for Model Number 53606201 Hello, the fresh food side of my fridge is warm and I narrowed the problem down to the diffuser door not opening. My thermistor measures out correctly but is there any way to test the diffuser before buying a new one such as taking it out and applying voltage to it? If so, how much voltage to witch of the three wires? Thank You!
1 Answer Hello Jeff. You will need to turn the unit off and on and test and see if there is power coming to the diffuser WP2216112. If there is power there and the unit does not open and close, you will need to replace the diffuser. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Kevin August 09, 2011 for Model Number 251lss02 I checked for power with the diffuser unplugged and voltage was 110v With diffuser plugged in voltage drops drastically. Should the diffuser be wide open in a warm fridge? Just want to make sure I order the right part. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Kevin. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the diffuser WP2216112 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Kevin August 08, 2011 for Model Number kra251lss02 Hi I am as well concerned about my diffuser. Freezer is cold, and no frost issues on evaporator. Fridge is cool, but not very cold. Should the diffuser open completely when fridge is warm? I tested the thermistor it was about 2.8k. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. If the thermistor is reading 2.7K at room temperature, then it is good. You will need to test and see if there is poer coming to the diffuser. If so, and the diffuser does not open, you will need to replace the diffuser WP2216112. Hope this helps. Read More...
Juan C. July 27, 2011 for Model Number KSRS25ILSS01 My refrigerator is not working properly only on the fridge side, freezer works fine. Temperature wont get colder after a certain temp. Still works just not as good. Anything you recommend I can do myself before taking it to shop? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Juan. If there is no defrost problem, you will want to check out the thermistor WP2188819, and the diffuser WP2216112. Make sure the diffuser is opening and closing properly. If so, test the thermistor. It should read 2.7k ohms at 77°. If it is bad, you will need to replace the thermistor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Charles June 18, 2011 for Model Number KSRA22ILSS13 My freezer gets too cold and starts to get ice in coils, and the fridge is warm. Am I ordering the right part to fix the problem?
1 Answer Hello Charles! You seem to be having a defrost system issue. You will need to check the defrost heater WP2323197, defrost thermostat WPW10225581, and the electronic control 8201658. You can test these parts using a multimeter MA-DM1. Here is a link from our free repair forum you can refer to for help with using a multi meter.
