Roy December 22, 2013 for Model Number GX5SHDXVD02 Is there a video for testing defrost heater, defrost thermostat and defrost timer? Whirlpool refrig on top and freezer in bottom. Coils in freezer freeze up and no cool air is going to the refrig.
1 Answer Hello Roy. Sorry, we do not have a video of that yet. However, the heater and thermostat should read closed for continuity when cold. If both are good, then the board WPW10503278 will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Heather August 22, 2013 for Model Number ed5shaxmq10 My fridge will not make ice. I bought it from a friend and he said it worked before. But the infrared door on the left side is broken. To be exact its hooked up but the top plastic hingne is broken. The ice machine doesn't have water in it. But the water works on the door. Any help please. I have read many forums and can't figure it out.

Doug July 15, 2013 The flipper on my whirlpool gold infrared ice control is broken. Would this keep my ice maker from making ice?
1 Answer Hello Doug. No, as long as nothing is blocking the emmiter eyes, it should not affect it. Read More...
Milton November 29, 2012 for Model Number kssc48qms00 The fliper is busted off on my ice maker and now the ice often dumps on the floor or on the top shelf, not sure what this flipper does? Could replacing the flipper fix my problem?
1 Answer Hello Milton, The flipper WP2198633 goes on the left side of freezer liner and is used to stop the icemaker from going into a harvest mode when door is open. If the icemaker has already gone into a harvest before opening door it will continue cycle. The flipper will keep the ice compartment door from opening and dropping ice everywhere if the door is open. If you are missing the guide [W10297244] on the front of the icemaker this would cause the ice to fall all over the freezer when the door is closed. If this is missing you would want to install new one. Read More...
1 Answer Hello David. You will open the freezer door and remove the screws securing the cover to the inside wall. Then remove the pin and spring from the frame and remove the old flipper. Install the new flipper WP2198633 and make sure the spring has tension to keep it open. Hope this helps. Read More...
