Carlos D November 25, 2013 Dear sir To test the defrost eletronic control, may I disconnect the plate and run trhe refrigerator? In negative case, how is the correct procedure to test it.? I am asking this, because when I start the refrigerator, after a 3 or 4 seconds, the compressor cut off, and I tested the relays and the compressor and both are good.
1 Answer Carlos, The defrost control board cannot be disconnected and be able to run the unit. In order to tell the proper testing procedures for your unit we would need to have the model number of the unit. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Roy October 04, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool ED27DSXDW05 I have Whirlpool side by side model ED27DSXDW05. I changed the defrost thermostat and defrost heater already and it works good but after 4 days it goes back on the same problem. A lot of build up of ice on the lower back panel of the freezer and the the refrigerator is warm. Please help!
1 Answer Hello Roy, You will need to replace the adaptive defrost control board 4388932. Read More...
Clay September 23, 2013 for Model Number ET1FHTXMT01 Manual defrost activation did not seem to power heater till third time I got board to click. I replaced the Board in a Whirlpool Refrigerator top freezer model. Freezer coils were blocked and when I opened the panel the fan was working, so I defrosted freezer and replaced the board. Two days later, has a clicking sound seeming to come from inside fridge control panel and fan speeding and slowing in unison for a few minutes relayed from owner a couple times a day after and frosting again. Middle of evaporator normal frost pattern with heavy concentration of frost bottom 1/3 of coil blocking inlet in freezer and sides and on top of evaporator with a pile of frost in the middle reaching toward fan. Some frost also in drain hole.
1 Answer Clay, This issue sounds like the control may be faulty with the pulsing of the evaporator fan motor and the clicking noise associated with it. Also the frost pattern would indicate not entering the defrost mode. Read More...
Jim C September 18, 2013 for Model Number KSRB22FKSS00 Freezer will defrost and compressor will not come back on randomly. I replaced the adaptive defrost control board worked for a few days back to melting ice and blowing fan without compressor running. If I turn the thermostat off for a few minutes and then back up all is well for a while.
1 Answer Hello Jim. If fan motor is running, but not cooling, it sounds like the compressor may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Jt September 13, 2013 for Model Number ed25pwxawol Is my problem with the defrost control board? I have lights but nothing else runs.
1 Answer Hello JT. You need to check and see if the control WP2198202 is bad or if the defrost control 4388932 is bad and needs to be replaced. 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...
Gurmit September 04, 2013 for Model Number KSRG25FVMS01 freezer is cold ....everything is extra frozen and hard (ice cream very hard to dig) ....air circulation is OK in freezer....not air to refrigerator compartment......some ice build up on back panel... ...what seem to be wrong? time- heater -cold control ?
1 Answer Gurmit, On the refrigerator left side wall where the snack pan is just above the upper crisper shelf, there is a vent. Check to make sure that that vent is not full of ice. If so this would cause the issue you are having. Read More...

Mike J June 01, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool ED5VHGXMB10 Freezer is cold, fridge is warm (45). No ice on coils. Did a manual defrost and worked ok for a day. No fridge getting warm again. Did a chat with Part Pro and she suggested the adaptive defrost control. Does this seem like the problem?
1 Answer Mike, At this point, Yes. Based on the description and the make up of your refrigerator, there's probably an issue in the ADC board causing an intermittent issue in the board circuitry. Read More...
Nick C. May 05, 2013 for Model Number ED5HGXMQ10 My freezer was frosting so I checked and cleaned the coils underneath which were pretty clogged & dirty. After the cleaning, the freezer is still frosting and the refer compartment is getting warmer, limited air flow. I checked the defrost coil and defrost t-stat both closed ( no power). I hot wired the coil and it drew about 4.9 amps.
1 Answer Hello Nick. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
