Greg B October 02, 2015 for Model Number GX2FHDXVB02 I just purchased AP4366692 for my freezer / fridge. Classic freezer works fine - no cold air to my fridge. I have 118 volts at the motor measuring accross the red and black wires. Motor should be turning right. Took new motor out to see resistance. The new motor has open input Ohmmeter reads infinite resistance. Did I get a bad fan?
1 Answer Greg, If the fan motor is getting power to it and not turning and shows a infinite resistance then the fan you received is bad. Read More...
Brenda August 16, 2014 for Model Number JSD2789DEW I have Jenn-Air Side-by-Side. The Refrigerator side is not staying very cold. The freezer size had ice build up at the bottom, which I cleaned all out, which seemed to help the fresh food temperature. Within a week a huge ice buildup at bottom of freezer again & some water at bottom of refrigerator. There is also a lot of water on the floor underneath the unit. I took back panel off in freezer and there was alot of ice built up around the coils and above on wiring on copper lines. Defrosted, now just waiting to see what happens. Any suggestions as to what part needs replacing?
1 Answer Hello Brenda, The most common failure on this design is the adaptive defrost control 61005988. Read More...
Nick May 28, 2014 for Model Number MSD2656KGB First let me say I'm a huge fan of this site and would recommend it to anyone. I had problems with my dryer and stove in the past and watching your "how to" videos and buying the parts through this site saved me a lot of money not having to call a repair man. That said I have yet another problem. My refrigerator has side by side doors. The freezer works just fine. You can feel the cold air moving around. The fridge on the other hand isn't. After reading most comments on your site I'm assuming it's the motor to the evaporator fan (W10128551) but the fan starts and stops after a few seconds. Also makes a loud noise when it's trying to start. Since the fan is trying to start and gets cut off I'm not sure if that's the problem. Any feedback is appreciated. Customer for life, Nick
1 Answer Hello Nick. Test and see if the power stops when the motor stops. If not, then the motor is bad and 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...
Chris T. January 27, 2014 for Model Number Jenn Air Mod JSD2695KES My evaporator fan quit working, no frost build-up on coils, compressor works normally and bottom of freezer and fresh food side are quite cold - but upper portions warm. The fan bearings are fine, the motor 'looks' and smells fine - no evidence of arcing or burning. Closed freezer door switch and waited several minutes - compressor continued to run but the fan never came on. My Question - is the fan motor bad? Or is there something controlling the fan motor that has gone bad? Can I remove the fan motor and power it with 110v and see if it comes on? Thanks, Chris
1 Answer Hello Chris, The voltage to the fan motor WPW10128551 can be checked at the terminals to the fan motor. The voltage should read 120Vac. If the voltage is there, the fan motor has failed. If the voltage is not there, you will need to check the output from the main control board W10207411. Read More...
Brian January 20, 2014 for Model Number MSD2651HES The motor on the fridge sounded as if it was cutting in and out for the past year. Now the refrigerator side is freezing all the food even though I turned it off and have the freezer set on 2. I'm just guessing but I think the motor-evap is the problem. Just wanted to get a second opinion before ordering.
1 Answer Brian, The evaporator fan motor would most likely not be the issue with the refrigerator. With the unit freezing in the refrigerator compartment the most likely issue would be the control damper WP12571701. Read More...
George November 17, 2012 for Model Number Maytag mff2558vem5 The freezer is working fine, but the coils in the back are freezing up and not allowing air flow up to the refrigerator. I have manually defrosted this and all works well for a few days. This is supposed to be a frost free unit. What needs to be done to eliminate this problem?
1 Answer Hello George, What you want to check on unit is the defrost thermostat WP67003426, heater W10825088 and control board WPW10503278. Check continuity on the defrost bi metal and heater. If no continuity on either one then you would need to replaced that component. If everything checks ok then you will need to replaced control board. 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...
Dan November 10, 2012 for Model Number Amana ABB2222FEB2 My refrigerator seems to quit working after a couple days. I thought it was not defrosting so we unplugged for 24 hours. After this we plugged it in and it all gets cold and good to go for 3-4 days and then there seems to be no cold blowing in from the vent.
1 Answer Hello Dan, You need to remove the back wall of the freezer compartment and look at the frost pattern. If the evaporator fan motor isn't running or is running too slowly, the fan motor WPW10128551 will require replacement. If the fan is running and starts back up on its' own after you stop the blade, the problem is probably a defrost issue. The most likely cause of the issue if there is a frost build-up and the fan motor is operating normally is the defrost thermostat WPW10165425. It should read continuity when the part is down to temperature. If it reads good, the defrost heater WP12729128 could have burned out or the electronic control WPW10503278 may have an issue.

Joshua October 13, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool Fridge. Gx5SHDXQ00 My freezer is working fine, but the vents in the bottom frost over blocking the cold air from going into the fridge. I can manually turn defrost on to clear the vents off, but the build up keeps happening a day or two later and im not sure where to begin. Thanks
1 Answer Hi Joshua, since you were able to make it defrost manually, that would indicate your heater and defrost thermostat are working so I would suspect the control board WPW10503278. Hope this helps! Read More...
Linda October 04, 2012 for Model Number abb2224DEW I ordered the fan motor w10128551 but I need instruction on how to put it in. Thanks you
