John April 04, 2014 for Model Number 106.74932401 My refrigerator runs cold one day and then stops.Only when I adjust the thermostat inside the door, does it start again and starts to work. If I don't check it everyday I notice that it doesn't freeze or stay cool. What could be wrong?
1 Answer John, It sounds more like a faulty contact inside the cold control WP2200859. When the selected temperature is reached,(cut out temp.) the control is opening up the circuit and removes power to the compressor. But when the temperature increases and the thermostat closes(cut in temp) to turn the compressor back on, your control isn't resetting. Read More...

Carlos December 10, 2013 I changed my start relay and connected it following your instructions and the refrigerator seems ok, but with two little problems. 1) The area in the water dispenser is hot 2) I took an amperage mesure on the compressor and I found 1.7 A First of all I think to disconnect the BLUE lead from the interlock switch and see if the problem stops. Am I correct? And the amperage of the compressor is it normal , or too low ?
1 Answer Hello Carlos. The compressor seems to test fine. However, check the condenser fan motor and see if it is running good and the coils are clean. Read More...
Carlos December 07, 2013 How can I do to inspect and test the heater dispenser of my refrigerator Whirlpool 71ABANA00? The bottom of the housing is always Hot. I think this is not normal. I saw in the electric diagram that there is no switches to turn on or off this heater. It is always energised.
1 Answer Hello Carlos, If you could please re-post with the model number from your units' I.D. tag we can look it up to see what wiring configuration you have and be able to advise you on test points and proper readings. Read More...
Carlos Dimitri M November 22, 2013 for Model Number whirpool BRS7O A BANA May I use a ptc relay with 4 pins instead of a Ptc wth 3 pins ?
1 Answer Carlos, If you are referring to a relay that has 4 terminals as opposed to 3 terminals then yes you would be able. You will just need to make sure that you connect the wires to the correct terminals. Read More...
Carlos November 19, 2013 I Have a whirpool side by side and when it begins to work, after a few seconds, the space between the doors starts to become hot. What could it be?
1 Answer Hello Carlos. Check and see if the condenser coils are dirty or if the condenser fan motor needs to be replaced. Read More...
John November 12, 2013 for Model Number GWD332W This water cooler with a refrigerated compartment at the bottom, has a Kenmore badge on it, but I think is made by Greenway Home Products. The compressor is not running and at least the PTC relay is bad -I tested it. It is written on it " 8EA403. Someone cross ref'd pn 2262185, which I purchased from you, along with an Ovld. protector # DA34-10003S. After replacing these parts, the compressor still doesn't run. I am able to make it run with a refrigerator service cord; the unit gets cold and the compressor gets very hot. I am wondering if I have the right parts and if there is something else keeping the compressor from starting. Thank you for any kind of help you can give on that.
1 Answer John, With a new start relay the compressor is not running then you will want to check to makes sure that there is power getting to the compressor. It sounds like the power is not coming from the control to the compressor. Read More...
Thanks For Help November 09, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool ED25RFXFW00 Dear Sir, Here is the description of the problem. Please tell me if you can may help to determine the root cause based on the below. Refrigerator stopped cooling completely. The light is on when the door is open and the fan in the back is running. The condenser is warm. There is a click sound from the condenser a few seconds after powering on the refrigerator, and then a few second later, another click sound, and then again click sound a few seconds/minute later .... The compressor seemed do not start, however, though it is warm but not vibrating. Thanks.
1 Answer Thanks for Help,You're going to need a multi meter to test the compressor motor windings to determine if the issue is the compressor or the relay overload. First remove power to the refrigerator. remove the compressor compartment cover, then the palstic relay/overload cover WP2162358 off the side of the compressor, DO NOT disconnect any wires from the relay W10920279 or overload WP2183456, grasp the relay and pull straight out until the relay releases from the motor pins, repeat for the overload. Go to the single pin on the compressor and check to one of the pins that are side by side on the compressor. The run winding will read 1-5 ohms resistance. Then stay on the single pin and go to the other pin. The start winding will read 3-11 ohms resistance. Then check each of the pins to the compressor casing (You may have to scrape or sand a bare spot on the metal case). You should have an "open" circuit (infinite resistance). If your readings are out of these ranges, or you read resistance between one of the pins and the case, then you have a bad compressor. If they are within these ranges, then you have a bad relay overload. Rule of thumb is to replace both at the same time for a positive, long term repair. Read More...
