Marie January 10, 2013 I have a side by side and the refrigerator keeps a constant temp. of 33 but the freezer side goes from 0 to 24 then back to 0, what is causing the temp. to change? Please advise.
1 Answer Hello Marie. Make sure the condenser coils are clean and the condenser fan motor is running. If so, it is normal for fluctuation during the defrost cycle. Read More...

Stan M January 03, 2013 for Model Number 2005 Side-by-side Whirlpool refrig I have some sporadic knocking/hammering noises coming from by freezer side. Not sure if my compressor is making the noise, but could my defroster timer be causing the problem??? Or could it be some other part? Thank you, Stan
1 Answer Hello Stan, If the noise is coming from the freezer side then it would not be an issue with the defrost timer. It may be a flow of refrigerant issue that is causing the cap tube to jump and make tapping noise. What you would want to do is pull the rear wall of the freezer and check to make sure that the lines are not touching the wall. If this checks ok pull unit out and listen for the compressor making the banging noise. If the compressor is making noise then compressor would need to be replaced. Read More...

Jim December 11, 2012 for Model Number GR9FHKXPB00 Whirlpool Refrigerator Please help regarding replacement defrost timer #482493. I've received two different answers from your help dept. regarding which terminal to place the extra black wire. The first answer was on terminal #1 which connects to the orange wire in the harness. I replied today stating I'm still having trouble with the timer sticking in defrost mode, and I have to manually turn it with a screwdriver to get it going again, and it will run okay for a few days. The person who answered my question today says the black wire on the timer should be placed on terminal #2. A third opinoin would be greatly appreciated before I try terminal #2, as I don't want to damaged the timer if I haven't already done so by placing the black wire on terminal #1.
1 Answer Hello Jim. Sorry for the confusion, but according to the wiring diagram for your model, the black wire goes to terminal number 1 of the timer. Read More...
Nan December 09, 2012 for Model Number ET1MHKXMQ00 My freezer keeps freezing up. You can take the back panel off in the freezer and the coils will be frozen up. I take a hair dryer and melt the ice off and the freezer will work fine for about 3-4 days and I have to take the drier to it again. Can you tell me what part I need to fix this problem?
1 Answer Hello Nan, The first thing you should do is check the continuity of the heater and defrost thermostat. If both have continuity then you would want to change the defrost timer W10822278. If the heater does not have continuity then you would replace heaterWP2315530. If the bimetal when cold does not have continuity then you would replace the bimetal WP4387503. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Sunder December 04, 2012 for Model Number RS22AQXMQ00 I have roper side by side refrigerator. The freezer side is very cold and I can see ice/frost on the grill on freezer side. This is resulting in not flowing the cool air to the fridge side which gets warm spoiling the food stuff/milk etc. 1) What part do I need 2) Can I see the video how to replace the defrost timer kit if need to replace that or is it bimetal thermostat which need to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Sunder, What you will need to check is the continuity of the defrost heater WP2323197 and defrost bimetal WPW10225581. If you have continuity through both then you need to replace the timer W10822278. If there is no continuity through the heater then the heater would need to be replaced. If no continuity through the bimetal with the bimetal being in the frost then you would need to replace the bimetal. To access the timer you would pull the knobs out. Take a flat blade screwdriver behind the cover of the control panel and pop cover loose. Then you remove the 2 screws at the top of the control panel and 2 at the back of the control panel. Remove the 2 phillips head screws under the timer and make sure you have disconnected power to unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
