Bk July 27, 2018 for Model Number MSD2274VEM00 The water/ice dispenser will not stop running unless we open the freezer door. Could it be the door switch (part #AP6023653) on the inside top that also runs the light?
2 Answers BK, No the door switch is not the issue. When you open the freezer door, and the water dispenser ceases, that tells you the door switch is working. You will need to dismantle the dispenser assembly, and check the W10176455 / W10144511 Dispenser Pad for a damaged circuit/switch and the WPW10144584 / W10144584 Control Board for a shorted circuit or "stuck" selector mini switch.

2 Answers BK, check the door switch for continuity, I would also check the pad switch in the dispenser to make sure it opens and closes, you may need to remove the dispenser to access the switch. Read More...

Alfred T. September 04, 2017 for Model Number GD25BFCHWOO my ice dispenser and water dispenser in freezer door stopped working. Is it the freezer door switch? My ice maker is making ice and the freezer light turns on and off with switch. Thanks Al
1 Answer Hello Alfred, you'll want to make sure you have 120v present at the blue/black wire on the switches. If present you'll want to test switch part number WP2162361 to make sure it's opening and closing when you press the button. Hope this helps! Read More...
Victor June 13, 2017 for Model Number ARS2464BS The water isn't dispensing from our refrigerator. If I open the freezer door and depress the Light Switch button and then press the water dispensing button water comes out. But if I just close the door and press the water dispensing button no water comes out. My thought is the Light Switch is bad. Although, when the door closes the lights on the water/ice dispenser do come on like it's engaged?
1 Answer Victor, First check the freezer door liner, where the liner activates the light switch, make sure it is still straight and "full". If the liner has shrunk or collapsed, it wont activate the light switch properly and you have intermittent dispenser and interior light operation. if the liner is OK then replace the switch W11396033. If the liner is shrunk, etc. you can try and use a small 1X1 in. square foam pad(available at the local hardware store or home improvement center, adhere it to the door liner in the area of the door switch, or replace the switch and install the pad, it will reduce the possibility of a door/door liner replacement.

Larry May 17, 2015 for Model Number KFIS29PBMS00 The refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently. There is an upper coil in the refrigerator section that has ice buildup yet the lower coil (in freezer section) is fine. I replaced the evaporator fan which includes the thermostat for the lower coil. Still not cooling in the refrigerator compartment. How does the cool air get into the refrigerator section? The lower drawer in the refrigerator section cools great as it appears to get air from the freezer section below fine. It seems like there is no air flow to the refrigerator. We thawed the upper coil so no ice build up, but still "frosty". Any ideas what may be wrong? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Larry, The freezer and fresh food compartment do not share air in this design unit. The unit has separate evaporator coils and they should take turns with the compressor pumping Freon into these evaporators. The part responsible for sending the Freon to one or the other evaporator is the three way solenoid valve WPW10364560. This is the part I would first suspect. Read More...
Bob August 01, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool gd25bfchw00 I believe I need to replace the freezer interlock switch on my refrigerator. Before I order the part (PN AP4557588), I want to be sure that I can successfully remove and replace it. Could you please provide any information on the removal/installation of this switch?
1 Answer Bob, The way to get the light switch out is you have to get under the switch front or back and twist the flat blade toward the right just enough to get the switch down slightly. Then you will take another flat blade and push up on the side of switch in between the liner and the switch in order to release the locking lever on the switch. Read More...
George July 17, 2014 for Model Number ksss42mdx05 The freezer fan motor is not working. I get 115 volts at wires to motor at times, but motor will not run, installed new motor, but still will not run. Could light switch be bad, seems it is for both fan and light, but get 115 volts when door is open.
1 Answer Hello George, This sounds like you may have dropped the neutral side of the circuit. If the voltage is available from the power control board, the issue has to be in the return side of the circuit. This can be troubleshot by using any black wire with voltage on it all the time to look for the neutral o the white wires. If the neutral is not present, the 120Vac will not show up on the meter. If it is present, the meter will read 120Vac. Read More...
