Truemella June 13, 2022 for Model Number ETOMSRXTB00 Part of my refrigerator is not cooling. Also can not hear it running
1 Answer Truemella, it would be recommended that the evaporator in the freezer is inspected for a heavy frost buildup. If there is a heavy frost build-up, the defrost heater WP2210895 and the bi-metal WP2211224 would need to be tested. The defrost heater should measure between 36 to 48 Ohms and the bi-metal should have continuity. If these parts test good, the defrost timer W10822278 would be the cause of failure. Read More...
Resma August 08, 2019 for Model Number W4TXNWFWQ01 My refrigerator is freezing everything top and bottom and the thermostat switch does not work. It is currently running even the switch is off. The only way to turn off the refrigerator is by unplugging it. There are 3 fans in the refrigerator and only the one in the middle is blowing cold air non-stop. The refrigerator is running continuously. There aren't any frost buildups and the exterior is all clean from dust. please advise, will this part work or should I order the defrost timer? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Resma, Replacing the thermostat WPW10567140 should take care of the issue on this configuration. Read More...

Greg November 24, 2012 for Model Number 1935 Streamline Westinghouse Refrigerato The thermostat has shorted out on our 1935 Westinghouse refrigerator. Is the part still available?
1 Answer Hello Greg, We have a few resources for vintage appliances. They are listed at: www.appliancepartspros.com/vintage-appliance-resources.aspx. I'm not sure if you have to have a model number for this or not but I would imagine to get the correct match, a model number would still be needed. Read More...
James November 19, 2012 for Model Number RT14BKXKQ05 Good morning, my fridge stop cooling..my food is starting to go bad within 2-3 days...what's my problem?
1 Answer Hello James, If it is the refrigerator side only that has stopped cooling then you would want to check to make sure that your evaporator coils are not impacted with frost. If they are impacted by frost then you would want to check you defrost bimetal WP4387490 and defrost heater WP2263749 for continuity. If they are good then you would want to replace timer. Also check your fan motor to ensure it is operational. If it is both sections that are not cooling then you would want to check you start relay WP2258450 to make sure it is not blown. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Bt June 14, 2012 for Model Number roper rt14bkxkq02 Fully washed interior due to power failure, really nasty inside... I just replaced motor / evap in freezer as it was would not spin. It spins now, but does not cool. Does it matter how it is wired, as the wiring was not the same? Blows toward the front currently. The thermostat was a little rough to turn, it got wet also, but it does turn the fan off and on... do you think thermostat?
1 Answer Hi B. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Is the fan motor getting full 120 vac to it ? Does it turn up to speed ? The thermostat control is the device that regulates the compressor to run as well as the evaporator and the compressor. Is the freezer evaporator getting a full frost pattern across it? Remove the rear freezer wall and see if it does. Does your cold control regulate the compressor run time? Does it start and stop the compressor as commanded? If it is hard to turn then it needs replaced. The freezer should be at 32° normally and the fresh food at 38-47 °. Thank You. Read More...
Roger May 18, 2012 for Model Number Model ET6JTKXKQOO Hello I used a blowdryer and removed all ice and all the ports were wide open , the fan runs fine and when it does it blows cold air to the frig , just doesn't go below 50 degrees.
1 Answer Hello Roger. Check and make sure the doors are sealing properly and that the lights go off when the doors are closed. Also, get us a temperature reading inside the freezer as well. Should be around 0 in the freezer. Read More...
Roger May 18, 2012 for Model Number Model ET6JTKXKQOO Now I installed the defrost thermostat ,, ( the back under the cover was all ice ) and it was bad it swelled apart, and I replaced the timer also. The freezer is 10 degrees and the frig is holding 50 degrees, got any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Roger. Make sure the ice is melted off the evaporator coils and the air duct is clear from ice in the unit. Also, make sure the fan motor WPW10188389 in the freezer is running good. Read More...
Roger May 16, 2012 for Model Number ET6JTKXKQOO Hello Roger here again ,I installed the Timer I ordered and it has been 18 hours and no change, you think it could be the defrost thermostat? P/N AP3108445 if so where is it located , I looked on the drawings and I cannot find a picture of it or it's location , I would assume under the bottom tray in the freezer compartment.
1 Answer Hello Roger. if the thermostat defrost WP4387490 is bad, it will prevent the unit from defrosting. It is located on the top of the evaporator coils inside the freezer compartment. You need to remove the back wall out of the freezer to access and replace this part. It should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
