1 Answer Doug, You will want to check to make sure that the damper door at the top back of the refrigerator compartment to make sure that it is open. If it is then check to make sure that the evaporator fan motor is running in the freezer compartment. If they check ok then check the evaporator coils to see if there is impacted ice on the coils. If the damper door is closed then will be a issue of the damper being defective, if the fan is not running then would most likely be the fan is faulty and then if the coils are impacted with ice then this would be a defrost issue in which you will need to test the defrost heater and defrost thermostat for continuity. If there is continuity then the issue will be a faulty control board. Read More...
Harold May 08, 2017 for Model Number ksfs25fk01 I have a Kitchenaid side by side. After returning it to the wall it seems the condenser motor is no longer quiet although it is working. Any ideas.
1 Answer Hello Harold. Make sure nothing is hitting the fan. If not, then it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Brian M May 07, 2014 for Model Number KSSC42QMS00 Have a kitcheaid side by side model kssc42qms00. It was operational in a home we recently purchased but sitting idle. About 3 weeks ago it was running 'normally' but we powered it down as we moved in. About a week ago the interior was cleaned in preparation for use. Now upon power up (switch behind top panel) all lights come on, all control panels (there are 3 - 4 of them total) power up and stay on except the main one in the fridge compartment (top of interior with temp readouts, adjustments, resets, etc.). It comes on for apporx 2 seconds, beeps twice then goes out. The fan nor compressor come on. This behavior occurs each time and is very repeatable. Can't check for demo mode nor reset as the control panel won't stay one. Any ideas?
1 Answer Brian, You will want to pull the compartment for the control board in the refrigerator section and check the ribbon harness to make sure that there is no corrosion on the connection. This could cause the issue that is happening. If this checks ok then the most likely issue will be the control board W10839424. Read More...

Ka August 08, 2013 for Model Number KSCS25FKSS00 The refrigerator is leaking water. The motor-condition is making a loud razor sound noise. Could it be going out?
1 Answer Hello KA. If the motor is making noise, you will need to replace it. As for the leak, if it is a waterline, you will need to replace the line on the unit.

Donna June 25, 2011 for Model Number 106.53632300 Condenser fan motor is not working at times. Ordered new part. Received W10181323 with a bracket. There are no holes to secure the bracket to. Ordered second part, W10124096. Does not come with a bracket, but the holes on the fan motor do not line up with the holes on the existing bracket. Also, there are raised plastic parts on the back of the second fan motor which would not allow it to be flush up against the existing bracket like the original motor.
1 Answer Hi Donna. I have researched your replacement condenserr fan motor W10181323, is still the same cross reference part for your refrigerator model. As long as you can slide the mount tabs (of the bracket assy.)securely on the existing frame. You might consider having to use the new fan motor on the original bracket assembly. I hope this helps .Thank- you. Read More...
Linda June 01, 2011 My Kenmore fridge compressor fan is part #2206036 which has apparently been replaced with part #W10181323 (AP4330510). However the bracket mounting is completely different between the two parts: the old part side mounted and the replacement part is bottom mounted. Cannot figure out how to get the replacement part to actually install into the fridge.
1 Answer Hello Linda! The holes on the new bottom bracket should line up to the holes on the bottom of the air baffle. This will allow the new condensor fan motor to mount and function. Thanks! Read More...
Russ May 20, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 50592003 I just bought this fan motor to put in my refrigerator, but when assembled it blows the air out the back instead of towards the front. The frame that holds it is different from the original. Is it right for it to blow air out the back? If not, what am I doing wrong? Do you have a picture diagram? Part Number: AP4330510 Manufacturer's Number: W10181323 Made by WHIRLPOOL
1 Answer Hello Russ. The fan motor W10181323 should blow the air out the back. Hope this helps. Read More...
