Ken June 08, 2012 for Model Number ed2phexmt00 Hello, I need specific model help on installation of this kit. I have gone through the other postings however I am not sure on the jumper with this model and which wires go to which prongs. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Ken. The red wire on the unit goes to the white overload, the white wire on the unit goes to the run side of the relay and the wire coming off the run capacitor goes to the start side of the relay. You may not need to use the jumper wire in the kit 4387535 if all the wires reach on the unit and hook up properly. Read More...

Linda December 16, 2011 for Model Number ED20PKXXN00 My refrig freezer quit freezing and the food compartment is warm. It will be running for awhile and then just shut off. Only way I can get the refrigerator to come back on is if I turn the control thermostat all the way off, and then it will turn back on again. But still doesn't get colder than 40 degrees in the refrig and nothing will freeze in the freezer. If I turn the control thermostat up, it will throw the breaker. I've used an ohm meter to check the control thermostat, the defrost timer, the defrost heater, and I've replaced the bimetal defrost thermostat. All this checked out good. Both the condenser fan and evaporator fan are running fine. Could there be a problem with the compressor? When it's running it sounds fine. There's no humming or clicking. Also, when I replaced the defrost bimetal thermostat, I was wondering what the different colord wires mean with the thermostat. The original bimetal thermostat had pink and brown wires. The replacement that was sent to me for this model of refrigerator had white and red wires. I spliced the white wire of the new thermostat to the brown wire and the red wire to the pink. Any suggestions???
1 Answer Hello Linda. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the cold control WP2198202 may be bad on the unit. If you turn it up, and it blows the breaker, you will need to replace the control. Hope this helps. Read More...
Kc September 22, 2011 for Model Number ET14AK2LNR0 How do I connect the existing wires (2) from my Model ET14AK2LNR0 fridge to the new Overload/Relay P/N AP3108472 relay and klixon overload? The new relay has connections numbered 1&2 (on the right side) and 3&4 (4 has no connector spade) (on the left side) and I know the relay connects on the bottom 2 compressor pins. I know the new kilxon overload connects to the top post on the compressor and the WHITE wire from the fridge connects to that. Currently the fridge has a round klixon overload which rests on the compressor where 1 RED wire from the fridge connects to one of its 2 connecting pins where the 2nd pin from the klixon is a RED' wire that would connect to the old relay.
1 Answer Hi Kc. Red wires from the defrost timer, defrost thermostat, and evap. fan motor go all to one side of the overload. Then the overload to the Relay single pin. White from the evap. fan motor, white from the defrost bi-metal thermostat and white from the ribbed power (neutral) to the "C" on the compressor. Thank you. Read More...
Barbara 2 August 01, 2011 for Model Number ED2FTGXKQ04 I have identical problem as Barbara above. Whirlpool ED2FTGXKQ04 not cooling on either side, but lights and fan works. There was not a buildup of ice anywhere. There's no "loud", but rather a "normal" or "small" click-sound whan I plug it back in... ...not sure where's the line between "loud" and "normal". However, there was a LOT of dust under the fridge on the cooling grill. I used a vacuum cleaner to clean all that out, but after restart, the symptoms remains. It's been unplugged overnight and tried again, not cooling. How can I get the cold control and defrost timer circuits tested? There's a meter and an electrician nearby. How to know what to test, any schematics? This forum: http://appliantology.org/topic/25990-freezer-not-freezing-refrigerator-not-refrigerating-help-please/ said for someone else with similar symptoms that it might be the overload kit 4387535 and that's why I'm here. But I also would like to get a second opinion. Other suspects in another forum at http://forum.appliancezone.com/Topic3817-15-1.aspx has been the compressor, thermostat, overload, relay, capacitor, defrost timer, or condenser fan motor. Trying to work within a tight budget get it fixed by changing parts ourselves. Any help highly appreciated!
1 Answer Barbara 2, You'll need to move thr fridge out so you can get behind it, remove the lower black access panel on the back wall. When you plug the power cord back in, you should be able to see, hear, and feel, if the compressor motor is running. Also the compressor should be really warm to the touch, but not extremely hot. Be careful, don't shock or hurt yourself. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Barbara July 03, 2011 for Model Number whirlpool ED22TQXEW00 My fridge/freezer quit cooling. Light still works, fan still goes... just decided to quit cooling/freezing one day last week. Some other answer-man targeted the compressor relay, but I need a second opinion (with something that matches obtainable parts).
1 Answer Barbara, A couple of things to look for : on the back wall of the freezer compartment, is there a build up of frost or ice, that would indicate a defrost problem. If you turn the fridge control off, for a few minutes(at least 5 mins.), then turn it back on, do you hear a loud "click" from the back of the refrigerator ? That could confirm a bad relay or compressor. Otherwise, we'll need to check the cold control and defrost timer circuits, with a meter. Thanks and Good Luck. Read More...
Barbara July 03, 2011 What are the names/numbers/purposes of the individual parts in this kit? Part Number: AP3108472, kit #4387535.
1 Answer Hello Barbara! The white part is the refrigerator overload and the black part is the refrigerator relay. The relay kickstarts the compressor. The overload protects the compressor from overheating and also stops compressor from starting in high amperage conditions. We do not have the part numbers of each part used in this kit. I hope this information helps you, thanks! Read More...
1 Answer Hello Ken. It is a jumper wire, and is only used on some models. Hope this helps. Read More...
