Todd H September 26, 2013 for Model Number GR2FHTXTQ00 PS1799717. Model number for defrost thermostat. I have checked this thermsostat for continuity while it is warm and while cold. Both tests show an open condition. No continuity. Because the part tested bad I had three thermostats sent out. All of them check out bad. I put one them in a glass of ice water and froze them solid. Still no continuity. Why?
1 Answer Todd, A glass of icewater coldest temp will not be cold enough for the thermostat to close. On the side of the thermostat there are numbers on it and one of them is the temp that the thermostat closes and the higher number will be the temp that the thermostat will open. If you are not getting it to that temp which is normally 15.6 degrees then the thermostat will not close. Put the thermostat in the freezer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours if the unit is operating at the moment and then test the thermostat. Read More...

Allen K July 22, 2012 for Model Number gr2fhtxvs01 My defrost heater was on .It made my Lower refrig warm. I unpluged the unit and turned the freezer controls to high. I cleaned the dust from the bottom and blowed it out with air. my unit runs fine now. do I need to replace the bimetal defroster part ap4303701. I will find time to test this unit for continuity. thank you
1 Answer Hello Allen. No, if the unit is sticking in the defrost cycle, you will need to order and replace the defrost board WP2304093. Read More...
Ka April 16, 2012 for Model Number whirlpool GR2SHKXKS00 My freezer was left open about 4 inches for a day and now my lower and upper fridge sections do not cool at all. It runs and the light turns on. Do I need to replace this part or just the Lower Thermostat #2200859?
1 Answer Hi Ka. The best thing to do is to shut the control off. Raise the ice maker bail arm. Remove the freezer shelf and the food. Put the food in a covered clothes basket just long enough to clean the freezer inside cavity. Dry all completely with a towel. Turn the freezer on and make sure the evaporator fan motor part # WP4389142 runs. Keep an eye on the floor to make sure there is no drain pan overspill and floor issues. Make sure all food is place in the bins correctly and the door gaskets close correctly. The control(s) should be at mid point. The freezer should be at 0°. the fresh food should be at 37-47°. Thank You. Read More...
Dan February 11, 2012 for Model Number ATB2232MRWOO Before I start tearing things apart, were would part # AP4303701 go? Thanx
1 Answer Hello Dan. You will need to remove the back wall inside the freezer to access and replace the bi-metal WP2321800. It is located on top of the evaporator coils in the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Hello George. You will need a multi meter: AP3440648. The thermostat should test closed for continuity.
