For Whirlpool Defrost Control Board (Part Number: OEM12211218)

1 Answer

Rich, You do not have a defrost control board or timer in your freezer. If you have a frost issue, youm will need to check and make sure the door is sealing properly, all the way around, the cavity light is turning off when the door is closed, and replace the temperature control as a last resort. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Jake. Yes, if there is frost in the freezer, and the heater and thermostat read closed for continuity, then the control board 61005988 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps.

Hello Dwayne. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat WP61006199. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost control 61005988. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Jim, The adaptive defrost control board won't have anything to do with the icicle from the back wall, since you've replaced several parts, make sure the freezer air temperature is 5 to 7 dgrs.F, The refrigerator and the icemaker are both level, and repalce the fill tube grommet WP67003576 and make sure it seats and seals properly. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Tom. It sounds like there may be a couple of problems here. Check and make sure the fan motor in the freezer is running properly. If not, replace the fan motor WP61005935. Also check and see if the drain is frozen and clogged. Also make sure the air return from the freezer to the refrigerator is clear from ice.
