Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Relay And Overload Kit (Part Number: OEM18027969)

1 Answer

Ahmed, the compressor is going to be warm to the touch when operating. However, if it is getting hot, then there would likely be a sealed system failure that is occurring if the condenser fan is running but the evaporator does not get a frost pattern or has a partial frost pattern. This would require a freon-certified technician to diagnose and repair.

Fibber, The manufacturer has discontinued the part. The manufacturer no longer sells the part and we can no longer get it from any of our suppliers. There is no substitute for the part available to us and we don’t know of any other source for the part. You may want to try contacting local parts dealers, one of them might still have it in stock. Enter your part number in a search engine, a smaller company might have it or try eBay,Amazon, or similar sites, search by using the manufacturers part number. Try a used appliance store, sometimes they have the same model or a usable part for your machine. Good Luck and Thanks,
