Tom January 28, 2018 for Model Number 253.22442412 I want to change my freezer to a refrigerator I researched this on line and can be done by replacing the thermostat. I need to know which thermostat to buy can you help me. Thank you
1 Answer Tom, Unfortunately we would not have information on the thermostat that would be needed. The other thing would be that the refrigerant amount in a freezer may be higher than the refrigerator would be and may not work properly. Read More...
Tmn October 22, 2016 for Model Number Whirlpool Refrigerator model ET18NK Refrigerator not as cold as it used to be. Freezer section not freezing solidly. Unit will turn on and off via temp control, fan works and coils are clean. No weird noises from compressor. Thermostat? Failure?
1 Answer TMN, You will first want to make sure that the evaporator coils are not impacted with ice which would indicate a defrost error. Pull the rear wall in the freezer compartment off to check this. If the coils are impacted with ice then test the defrost heater and defrost thermostat for continuity. If there is no continuity then the part is bad and would need to be replaced. If there is continuity on both then the defrost timer would be the issue. Read More...
Darrell R. August 26, 2016 for Model Number 106-71182101 Kenmore colds spot ref This is a refrigerator we use in our garage and water is dripping onto the shelves inside the ref. Although equipped with a water line the line is not connected. Question> why is water dripping inside although the cooling and freezer seem to work properly?
1 Answer Hello Darrell. Check and make sure the doors are sealing good. If so, then the drain is clogged and will need to be cleaned out in the unit. Read More...
Andrew January 12, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool ET18PKXGW00 Hello, I am looking for a winter thermostat for this model. I have this fridge in the garage and items in the fridge are freezing since I live in Chicago, Il. Just wondering if there is a winter thermostat for this model. Thanks,
Marty December 29, 2014 for Model Number Et20tkxdw03 Door shelves do not freeze. Crisper and food on shelves toward back of fridge freeze. Is this the thermostat?
1 Answer Hello Marty, This sounds more like an air circulation problem. I would check the evaporator fan motor and the freezer coils for a frost build-up. If the air doesn't circulate properly, areas will be colder in one area than others. You should also look at how the unit is loaded since items in certain places can block air flow in areas inside the cabinet. Read More...
Dan November 10, 2014 for Model Number RT18ECRFW00 My refrigerator keeps going on and off (runs only about 4 secs at a time, sometimes clicking and sometimes no clicking). When the refrigerator does run it runs too long sometime freezing items in the refrigerator section. When it seems like it is running too long switching the refrigerator to off doesn't turn it off at times. Would replacing the thermostat fix this issue? Thank you for you help.
1 Answer Dan, You're on target. The problem is most likely in the cold control 4387562, there's a loose or arced contact inside the switch. Replacing the control should solve the issue. Read More...
Katie August 12, 2014 for Model Number RT14DKXGW00 & ET4WSKXK001 I have two refrigerators, one Roper & one Whirlpool. We believe the thermostats are bad (the freezers stays cold but the temperature in the refrigerators do not. When I search for the parts on your website based on my model numbers, it says I need AP3996712 for the Roper & #2325700 for the Whirpool but both are Unavailable. Any idea where I can get this part or is there a compatible replacement part available? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Katie, These two unit actually use the same thermostat. While you could put one in not listed for the unit, there is no guarantee that the unit would then maintain the correct temperatures. Since we are not engineers, we cannot make this call so you would have to contact the manufacturer for any possible substitutions you might possibly try. All we can do is recommend the substituted parts recommended by the manufacturer and since none have been listed, I'm sorry but we are unable to assist in this case. Read More...
Rollie April 20, 2014 for Model Number KTRD18KEWH01 My refrigerator was working fine before I cleaned it, but when I plugged it back in, the compressor wouldn't start, even if I turn it on and off at the thermostat, but there is a light. Is it the thermostat bad?
1 Answer Hello Rollie, There is a very good chance that the unit has gone into defrost. Leave the unit plugged in for the next hour and see if it doesn't kick back on. Read More...

Dan January 06, 2013 for Model Number et20nkxdn00 the frig is iceing the milk and items in the back of the frig.....looking at a thermostat replacement.....the iceing had started towards the back and now the iceing is occurring in the front also.
1 Answer Dan, You may need the cold control, But you may want to check the diffuser 2200793 and 4387121 linkagae assembly. Also check and make sure there isn't anything on the top shelf, or under the air tunnel that could redirect the air down the back of the shelves. also check and make sure there are no articles, sticking out over the edges of the shelves or in the door bins that may be holding the door slightly open.
