Pat November 06, 2023 for Model Number ASD2522WRB01 can you manually turn the defrost timer to defrost mode
1 Answer Pat, unfortunately, the defrost control 4388932 does not have a manual turn button to enter into a forced defrost mode. However, the thermostat can be turned off for 15 seconds, turned back on for 5 seconds, and this would be repeated two more times. This should force a defrost cycle for 21 minutes or until the defrost bi-metal opens up. Read More...
Jj July 30, 2023 for Model Number Amana asd2522wrb06 I have this Amana for 11 years. It first acting up with a click sound. click sound would click once and 5 to 10 second it click again then another 5 or 10 minutes it will click all over again. I check the clicking sound came from the start relay. So I went and change a new start relay and capacitor for the compressor. With that newly installed I start up the Amana, everything seen to start like normal hummed along both fan inside and outside blowing strong. In about 5 to 10 minutes the both fan shutoff by itself only the lights on both side is working. Please help.
1 Answer JJ, This issue would most likely be with the defrost control board. It would be recommended to try to unplug the unit for about 5 minutes then plug it back in. If the unit starts up then the unit was stuck in defrost and the board will need to be replaced. Read More...
Mat June 22, 2023 for Model Number ED5GVEXVD00 Both sides of the side by side fridge stopped cooling. I’m trying to replace the defrost timer. I see the defrost control board in the fridge section top section. Is there another defrost timer switch in this model? If yes, where is it located?
Todd March 07, 2023 for Model Number KSRV22FVMS04 I replaced the relay and compasitor,replaced temp control,and there is no frost going to the coils. the both fans are working and the compresser not getting warm? what else could it be? no noise from compresser
1 Answer Todd, This does sound like it would be a sealed system issue and possibly a bad compressor. Read More...
Darryl November 12, 2022 for Model Number ED5JHEXTB00 My fridge has been acting strange since it was repaired after an electrical surge. I had to replace my wiring harness, compressor, control board, condenser fan and my defrost thermostat. The proper amount of refrigerant was put in and made sure there were no leaks, pressure is running though the system and there is no over heating. The fan runs in the freezer and there is no frost build up of any kind. It first started to cool properly after being plugged back in but soon it started to return to room temperature. The compressor turns on and off every few hours after running. I don't see any pressure drop in the coolant after 36 hours. Is it the control board with a faulty auto defrost timer or another issue?
1 Answer Darryl, Thanks for the question!!! If the compressor is running and no frost is forming on the evaporator that would mean you have a sealed system issue. You would need to contact an EPA-certified technician for repair. Read More...
Sam December 28, 2021 for Model Number ED5FHEXLT00 My original defrost control board burnt out. so I replaced it with new 4388932 board. after install, I plugged fridge in and turned thermostat on and it instantly popped/blew out new one too.
1 Answer Sam, You will want to check the defrost heater to make sure that it is not shorted out. If this checks ok then the compressor will need to be checked and check for wiring that is possibly damaged. Read More...

Jenny September 07, 2020 for Model Number Whirlpool WRS325FDAM02 5 years old Whirlpool side by side fridge. model WRS325FDAM02. Freezer not freeze. The temperature is ~44F. The evaporator coils have thin frost on the bottom 2-3 raw. I have tested: compressor: ohm reading 8.1/5.5/13.3 evaporator fan: working. ohm 87.4 overload start relay with capacitor: rattle slightly defrost heater: ohm 23.7 defrost thermostat: ohm OL at room temp, 0 after 30min in freezer temperature control thermostat: OL when off, 0,1 when on, OL after 30 min in freezer What's going on???!!! Thank you very much!
1 Answer Jenny, Based on the information provided it sounds like a sealed system issue with frost only on 2 to 3 rows of the evaporator. For a sealed system issue you would need an EPA certified technician to do the repairs. (Sealed system = compressor, evaporator, condenser or drier...etc) Read More...
Martin Green March 25, 2020 for Model Number 106.57062600 I’ve had the above refrigerator in my garage for a couple years with no problem and recently it’s started tripping the GFCI receptacle. From the limited info I can find on this online it seems that it could be the defrost timer or defrost heater. How can I confirm which if any of these is causing my issue. Thanks in advance Martin.
1 Answer Martin, You will want to remove all the product out of the freezer and remove the rear wall of the unit and test the defrost heater. The resistance of the heater would be around 11 to 15 ohms. If this checks ok then make sure that it is not the GFCI that is getting weak. If the GFCI is ok then the defrost control board would be the issue. Read More...
Terry December 25, 2019 for Model Number Whirlpool WRS588FIHZ00 I bought a Whirlpool refrigerator in an auction, model #WRS588FIHZ00 when I got it home the main control board was missing along with a second control board located next to the main board. I think it is a defrost control board, but I am not sure. Can anyone tell me what the second board is for and a part number so I can locate a new one. Thanks Terry
1 Answer Terry, the inverter W11087200 is used to operate the compressor and would be the control that is missing. Read More...
