Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
Freezer cold but frig warm Glenn F. • Wentworth , NH • January 06, 2019
Replaced defrost heater,thermostat and timer. Also replaced run capacitor just because it was not expensive and did not know how old it was. This is a 22 year old white-westinghouse model frig but compressor and freon seem ok, so did not want to buy a new one yet. Hardest part was taking my time to disassemble everything as the on line videos are all for newer models. Everything seems to be working good now but time will tell. I may change out the temperature controller and fan motor in a month...
