William E B June 11, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool ED5VHGXML10: Fridge runs and freezes but when it shuts off will not start up again. Rreplaced the control in top right and still won't restart.
1 Answer William, With the unit not coming back on once it gets down to temperature then this will most likely be an issue with the temperature control WP2198202. Read More...

Jeffery C. September 26, 2016 for Model Number ED5LVAXVQ00 Freezer won't defrost. What reading should I get using a digital meter to check the defrost heater?
2 Answers Hello Jeffery, The defrost heater on this model should read from 21 to 27 ohms of resistance. The most common issue with this configuration is the electronic control WPW10366605. Read More...
Al August 05, 2016 I am trying to diagnose an issue in the defrost circuit. I've seen it recommended that continuity be checked on the defrost heating element. What is the expected resistance? When the defrost cycle initiates, I trip the GFCI (has started happening after 10 years of NOT happening). I recognize that the mfg suggests not having it on GFCI. I am fine with it. I presently have the heater bypassed and have not tripped the GFCI. I'd like to insert an appropriate load where the heater is located to verify the fault is not outside of the heater element. If that test passes, I will then order the heater element. I have a KSRS25FG Kitchenaid side-by-side.
1 Answer Hello AL. The element should read closed for continuity. 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...

Corwin January 04, 2016 for Model Number ASD2575BRW01 This Fridge is in the garage and I wanted to know if there is a heater for the thermostat made for this model? Freezer in winter will not work.
Patricia H November 29, 2015 for Model Number ED5FHEXLQ01 I have a Whirlpool side by side refrigerator made on 12/02. Got new one and put this model in garage. When weather got cold freezer wouldn't work. Other models have a garage freezer heater that is easily installed near thermostat. Frigidaire makes quite a few of them. Which one could be used on my refrigerator to keep freezer working in cold air? Thank you!
1 Answer Patricia, Unfortunately there is not a garage heater kit that will work for your model. Frigidaire is the only manufacturer that makes these for their units and they will not work for other manufacturers. Read More...
Jorge B. October 10, 2015 for Model Number refrigerator wirlpool ed5chqxkq04 My refrigerator is not cooling, water on the floor, is not connected to any water supplied, and back wall from the freezer is frost. What can be the part not working, the heater , timer , or defrost thermostat?
1 Answer Jorge, Each of these parts, the heater timer and defrost thermostat would need to be tested in order to find out if they are defective. Test the heater and thermostat for continuity and if there is no continuity then it would need to be replaced. If they check ok then the timer would be the issue. Read More...
Peter M. January 21, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Refrigerator 10657762790 I replaced my temperature control four days ago. Three days ago a burning smell developed inside the refrigerator not outside. I think the smell is stronger in the freezer. The refrigerator seems to be working fine, however, it use to make a grinding motor sound maybe very 30 minutes but now it does not make that sound anymore. What could have burned up?
1 Answer Hello Peter, You will need to remove the rear freezer wall and check the defrost heater WP2323198 and defrost thermostat WPW10225581. You should also check the evaporator fan motor 4389144 and harness for any signs of overheating and/or seizing. If no problems are found, you should go back to the control and look for signs of dis-coloration of wiring and/or components. Read More...
Michael January 04, 2015 for Model Number RS25AGXNQ01 The coils in my freezer are frosting up - and my refrigerator is freezing up. after taking everything out and defrosting and cleaning , I put everything back in and it works fine for a couple days then the fridge freezes back up - so I am sure I have a defrost problem but not sure if I need to replace the timer kit, thermostat or heater coil
1 Answer Michael, You will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. 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 timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
