Leo January 04, 2016 for Model Number ET8GTMXKQ00 Evaporator Fan kicks on periodically as it should; however, when it does, it then kicks off and on repeatedly, accompanied by a clicking noise, which sounds (to me) like a relay, or something. After a period of several minutes clicking off and back on again, the fan kicks back off entirely until then next cycle, which is perhaps an hour later (give or take), and the whole thing starts over again. Is there a relay (or something) back there near the fan? Or is it maybe the fan itself clicking on and off repeatedly? Thanks, Leo
1 Answer Hello Leo. It sounds like the defrost board 4388931 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...

1 Answer Bubba, The most likely cause for the fan motor to not run would be a faulty defrost timer W10822278. Read More...

Ronnie July 24, 2014 for Model Number W4TXNWFWQ03 Have a whirlpool fridge W4TXNWFWQ03 fan runs constantly and back wall of freezer is iced.
1 Answer Hello Ronnie. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the evaporator coils in the freezer. If so, 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 control board. 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...

Tommy A. May 10, 2012 for Model Number W4TXNWFWQ01 The freezer fan in my Whirlpool refrigerator has stopped working - freezer is cold, fridge is warm. I have ordered a replacement fan. It looks like a simple repair, 2 screws on a mounting bracket to replace and the wires are wired to connectors. Do you have any repair info or tips on doing this repair before I start? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Tommy, The best advice I can give is to unplug the unit or flip the breaker off and verify no voltage is in there before you start. Other than that, as you said, it's a simple repair. Read More...
