Vi July 28, 2018 for Model Number gi5fsaxvy03 Power went out. Turned back on and front panel blank. Press any options, blank. Press and hold any options and displays lights up all "8"s.
1 Answer Vi, For this issue with the power outage and only being able to get the unit to show 8's when pressing display then this would most likely be a faulty main control board. Read More...
Kristine B. June 18, 2018 for Model Number GI5FSAXVY02 All the control panel lights were turning on when I pressed anything. When I tried to dispense water, the lights flashed also. In viewing youtube videos, I determined that it was probably the high voltage control panel. I just replaced it, and the refrigerator turned on. I checked the digital panel on the front, and it's now not working properly. I can't select anything by pressing the buttons. If I press the up/down on the right, it toggles between water and Ice. So I can get water? However, I'm not sure the refrigerator is cooling or the freezer freezing because I can't set any temperatures. The left panel displays PE2 and won't change. I'm thinking this digital panel circuit board also needs replacing now.
1 Answer Hello Kristine, You should first verify there are no wiring harness issues at the door hinge. Also, the PE2 is the first three characters of the programming code. The correct programming code is located on the units' I.D. tag and has to be programmed properly into the control once the control has been changed. It sounds like this has not been done. Once programmed, the unit should operate properly. If not, post a new question and we will be happy to assist you further. Read More...
Chris June 17, 2018 for Model Number WRF736SDAM10 Is there a way to make the display brighter mine is very dim
1 Answer Chris, Unfortunately No. All the lights in your refrigerator are LED lights and have a preset intensity, due to the type of light/LED. You may want to check the wire harness at the top of the left door to make sure there are no loose connections, check to make sure the clear plastic protective cover was removed when the unit was installed, and on a lot of occasions the dimness could be due to the location of the refrigerator and the sun light reaching the front of the refrigerator.

Helpmyfridge April 17, 2018 for Model Number GI0FSAXVY05 Our power went out and when it came back on our fridge is not cooling. The lights on the front display are out. When you push any button all lights come on and you get 8's on the display. I have tried unplugging and plugging back in with no change.
1 Answer Helpmyfridge, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board WPW10312695. Read More...
Serena March 12, 2018 for Model Number WRX735SDBH01 I replaced my filter in Whirlpool refrigerator #wrx735sdbh01 today and now the water won’t dispense and the dispense button just beeps when pushed.
1 Answer Serena, You will want to look at the dispenser and see if there the lock on the dispenser is active. This would be the most likely cause for the issue with the dispenser beeping when the lever is pushing. Read More...
George B March 05, 2018 for Model Number WRS325FDAM04 The lights in the fridge and freezer worked only half the time. I replaced the switch on the fridge side and they still only work half the time. Does the defrost control board also control the lights?Also when I put in the new switch the lights almost doubled in brightness a couple of times, like there was a short somewhere. Thank you, George
1 Answer Hello George. You will need to order and replace the light assembly WPW10515058 in the unit to resolve the issue you are having with the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Jeff February 06, 2018 for Model Number GI5FSAXVY02 When ice dispense button is pushed, it does not select. The other button lights flash while ice button is pushed. Upon release water dispense remains selected/active. Actual once maker is functioning normally. Ideas?
1 Answer Jeff, You will want to make sure that the control panel is not in a locked state and if it is not then this will most likely be a control issue which will be part number W10740218. Read More...
Nathan January 14, 2018 for Model Number GI5SVAXVL01 Power was out last night the display panel is out. You can push the buttons lights up with all 8's and all buttons light up. I check the control panel in the back. I have power coming in and 12 volts going out. Is it the display panel out?
1 Answer Nathan, If the display is not working but is showing 12vdc to it then this will be a faulty display board. Read More...
Beatriz January 08, 2018 My 2010 Whirpool Gold GI5SVAXVL01 refrigerator hasn't given us any problems in 7 years, so I know we are lucky. Today, the front panel began flashing, and as it did, the fan or compressor sounded like it was trying to power up. It finally died, and my husband tried researching the issue which SEEMS to be the control panel, WPW10162500...which we couldn't find anywhere. So, I called a repairmen who can't come til Wednesday, and prepared to put my food items into our 2nd fridge in the garage. Well, lo and behold, 4 after declaring it dead, the fridge is fine. Things do not just fix themselves. How, what, when, where...a poltergeist? How can I order or have the control panel repaired to avoid this happening again, and how can I be sure it is that and not the main panel in the back? I swear to Mozambique I will pull my second fridge, a 30-year-old avocado green monstrosity that is "strong like bear" out and put that sucker in my stainless steel modern kitchen before I give Whirlpool a dime. HELP!
1 Answer Beatriz, You will want to check the wiring at the top hinge to make sure that there are no loose or damaged connections. This sounds like what would be causing the issue. If there is no damage then this will most likely be an issue with the main control board. Read More...
Jeremy December 12, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool Gold Series Model #WRX986SIHZ The buttons do not make a noise anymore and the door alarm will not chime. Everything seems to have lost sound and I am concerned because it is only a year and half old. Any suggestions???
1 Answer Jeremy, This issue will most likely be caused by a faulty user interface which will be part number W11387386. Read More...
