Dacor Refrigerator EF36BNDFSS Fridge too warm

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component helps to kickstart the compressor, facilitating the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge. 

Such issues can stem from electrical failures within the relay, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. When the relay does not function correctly, it can lead to inconsistent cooling and, in severe cases, cause the compressor to overheat and fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a failing Compressor Start Relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• A noticeable clicking sound emanating from the back of the refrigerator, indicating the relay is trying to start the compressor but failing
• The refrigerator starts and stops frequently, unable to maintain a constant temperature

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coil and signals the defrost heater to turn on when necessary, preventing frost buildup on the coil.

You should replace the defrost thermostat if it becomes faulty or damaged. Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or general wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Frost buildup on the evaporator coil
• The refrigerator running constantly or not cooling properly
• Water leaks inside the refrigerator
• The defrost heater not activating during the defrost cycle

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Thermistor Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators and freezers. This component plays a role in monitoring and controlling the temperature within your appliance. A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance changes with temperature changes, allowing the refrigerator's control system to accurately maintain the desired cooling levels based on the readings it provides. 

Causes of a bad thermistor can include wear and tear from constant use, exposure to extreme temperatures that can damage the component, or electrical issues such as short circuits.

Symptoms of a bad Thermistor Kit include:

• The refrigerator or freezer is too cold or not cold enough
• The appliance cycles on and off more frequently or for longer periods than normal
• Unexplained changes in temperature settings

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air over the evaporator coils, which helps to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. It operates at a power requirement of 115V, 60Hz, and 0.14A, featuring a shaft that measures 1/8" in diameter and 5/8" in length. 

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include electrical failures, wear and tear from continuous use, or obstruction from debris that hinders the fan's movement. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to uneven cooling and compromised performance of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• Inconsistent temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• Unusual noises coming from the fan area
• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:

• Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
• Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
• The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.

Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It removes accumulated frost and ice from evaporator coils to maintain efficient cooling performance. 

Symptoms of a faulty heater include:

• Ineffective or failed automatic defrost cycles  
• Accumulation of excess frost over time
• Loose or improper placement of coils/connectors

Causes can be wear from repetitive defrost cycles. Environmental factors like humidity fluctuations may also degrade insulation.

This OEM heater is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper refrigerator models.

The Damper Control Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component regulates the flow of cold air from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator compartment, ensuring consistent and optimal temperatures throughout the appliance. It plays a critical role in maintaining the balance between freezer and refrigerator temperatures.

Common causes of a bad damper control assembly include electrical malfunctions, physical damage to the damper, or wear and tear from regular use. Over time, the motor or the damper flap can fail, leading to improper air regulation.

Symptoms of a bad damper control assembly include:

• Inconsistent temperatures between the freezer and refrigerator compartments
• The refrigerator being too warm or too cold
• Frost buildup in the refrigerator compartment
• The damper making unusual noises or not moving as it should

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
