Jared April 08, 2024 for Model Number WRF736SDAM12 My freezer coils keep freezing up. I have tested with a meter the defrost coils and it has continuity, I have tested the defrost temp sensor with a meter and it opens and closes as it should with temperature change Now I’m trying to see if the freezer temp sensor is working but I can not find the resistance values can you help me with this please
1 Answer Jared, The thermistor resistance at three temperatures (77°f = 2700O ±5.0%) (32°f = 7964O ± 1.0%) (0°f = 23.345O ± 2.0%) Read More...
Leo March 05, 2024 for Model Number KRFM706ESS001 If resistance test bad will this be the one that fits at evaporator for this model also there is white one on the front side of cover . What part number is that ? My evaporator freezes over in three weeks , changed out control board and defrost heater , top is cool so I’m ruling out dampener
1 Answer Leo, For a proper diagnosis, we would need you to please verify the model number from the units' I.D. tag since it will not come up for us as a valid model number. It could be because the unit is brand new and the manufacturer has not provided service info on the unit yet. Read More...
Bobbya January 02, 2024 for Model Number GSF26C5EXY03 Does the refrigerator and the freezer use the same temperature sensor? Part W10316760 / AP4538142 Thanks!

Doug M September 20, 2023 for Model Number KSF26C4XYW03 My freezer is maintaining its temperature but fridge is running warm. I figure it is the Damper Control/Diffuser. Is part W10814173 correct?
1 Answer Doug, You can check to see if the damper is open or closed and if it is closed then the damper will be the most likely cause for this issue. Read More...
Don August 25, 2023 for Model Number WRS5896FIEM03 The refrigerator side is not cooling, but the freezer side is too cold. How do I determine if the thermistor on the refrigerator side is the problem?
1 Answer Hello Don, the testing procedures and component specs are listed on the Tech Sheet that came with your model, it is located either behind the front lower grille, or behind the rear compartment compressor cover. Read More...
Carole April 20, 2023 for Model Number KRSF705HPS00 On the refrigerator side of the KitchenAid (2 door) the evaporator coil has frozen over (3 year old refrigerator). Service tech has try to resolve the problem during the past 7 months replacing: Evaporator cover and fan, Compressor and the Secondary computer board. The service tech company suggested replacing the Main Computer board next with no guarantee; I refused. The refrigerator diagnostic test shows the thermistor is 01. Do you have any suggestions as to what the problem is?
1 Answer Carole, It sounds likely that you have a defrost issue with the evaporator in the refrigerator compartment. The 01 would indicate a pass on the thermistor. If there is no air leak around the door gaskets then this would most likely be a main control board that is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Lynn December 27, 2022 for Model Number 106.5117310 The evaporator coil keeps freezing up. The unt then runs no stop and the freezer gets to cold and the fresh food section dosen't cool. I have repalced the Bi Metal Defrost thermostat and it still happens. What shoud I try next?
Timothy B October 20, 2022 for Model Number WSF26C3EXF01 I have a Whirlpool Fridge WSF26C3EXF01. The fridge side is freezing everything solid. Temp on fridge it set to 46 degrees but put a thermometer in fridge and it shows 22 degrees. I went into diagnostics and was able to toggle the damper open and closed and it appears to be working properly. I replaced the thermistor in fridge but wasnt 100% sure it was the right one. The parts diagram shows the part # as W10316760 but its also the same part number for the freezer thermistor. I installed it anyway but the part did not look the same and the barrel diameter was larger than the original thermistor, therefore it would not snap into the cover like the original. After replacing thermistor there was no change in the fridge temp and since the damper would close in diagnostic mode, I figured it was a bad control board so I replaced it as well but still no change. I am left to wonder if that was the correct thermistor that I installed or if it could be something else. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Timothy, You can test the thermistor to make sure that it is good and should have resistance readings of 2.7K@77'F, 7964K@36'F, 23 345K@O'F. I do not know which board you replaced but the one that you would have needed to replace would be part number W11088499. The thermistor that you installed is showing as being correct for this model for the refrigerator compartment. They made a design change and would recommend to ensure you have a good connection where you installed the thermistor. Read More...
Kelly March 09, 2022 for Model Number KRSF705HPS00 ON THE REFRIGERATOR SIDE OF THE KITCHINAID REFRIGERATOR THE EVAP COIL HAS FROZEN OVER THERE IS ONLY A THERMISTER CONNECTED TO THE COILS. IS THE THERMOSTAT ON THE FREEZER SIDE CONNECTED TO THE REFRIGERATOR EVAP COILS AS WELL? OR SHOULD I JUST REPLACE THE THERMISTOR? THANKS
1 Answer Kelly, For the refrigerator side you would just need to replace the thermistor. Read More...
