Kitchenaid Refrigerator KSRV22FVWH02 Fridge too warm

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for monitoring the temperature of the evaporator coils. When the coils reach a certain temperature, the thermostat signals the defrost heater to turn on and melt any ice or frost buildup. This ensures proper airflow and prevents excessive ice formation.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can be attributed to normal wear and tear over time or electrical malfunctions.  

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive ice buildup in the freezer section.
• Inadequate cooling in the refrigerator compartment.
• Frost or ice accumulating on the evaporator coils.

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 run capacitor plays a crucial role in the appliance's electrical system, storing and releasing energy as needed to power the motor.

Causes of a bad Run Capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating, which can lead to a failure in providing the necessary start-up energy or maintaining motor speed.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The appliance does not start.
• The motor shuts off shortly after starting.
• The appliance is humming but not running.
• Increased energy consumption.

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 Door Upper Closure Cam is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to provide proper closure and alignment for the refrigerator door. The upper closure cam is located on the top hinge of the refrigerator door and works in conjunction with the lower closure cam to ensure a tight seal and prevent air leaks.

Causes of a bad upper closure cam can include regular use, accidental damage, or excessive force applied to the door.

Symptoms of a bad upper closure cam include:

• Difficulty in closing or opening the refrigerator door.
• The door not staying securely closed.
• Uneven gaps or misalignment between the door and the refrigerator cabinet.
• Excessive noise or squeaking when operating the door.

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 Door Cam is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It functions as a critical component in the door closing mechanism, facilitating the smooth opening and closing of the refrigerator door. The door cam helps to lift and lower the door slightly as it opens and closes, reducing stress on the hinges and ensuring a tight seal.

Causes of a bad Door Cam can include wear from regular use, cracking due to excessive force when opening or closing the door, or misalignment that prevents the door from functioning properly.

Symptoms of a bad Door Cam include:

• The refrigerator door making noise when opened or closed
• Difficulty in shutting the door completely
• Increased energy consumption as the fridge works harder to maintain its internal temperature due to a poor seal

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 Start Device Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a kit that includes the start relay and overload, both of which are crucial components for the proper operation of the compressor. The start relay is responsible for initiating the compressor's operation by providing an electrical boost to start the motor. 

Causes of a faulty start device kit can include electrical component failure, power surges, or damage due to wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad start device kit may include:

• The compressor not running or cycling on and off frequently
• Inadequate cooling or fluctuations in temperature
• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator

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 serves a pivotal role in circulating air over the refrigerator's evaporator coils, helping to maintain the cool temperatures throughout the unit. This circulation is crucial for the efficiency and effectiveness of your refrigerator's cooling process.

Causes of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor can include wear and tear over time, motor burnout due to electrical issues, or obstruction that prevents the fan from spinning.
 
Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor include:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling.
• The refrigerator or freezer section is not cooling adequately.
• A noticeable difference in temperature between the top and bottom of the refrigerator or freezer.
• Ice build-up on the evaporator coils due to inadequate air circulation.

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

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This motor is responsible for powering the fan that cools the condenser coils, which helps dissipate heat from the refrigerator. Proper functioning of the condenser fan motor is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and cooling performance of the refrigerator.

Causes of a bad condenser fan motor can include wear and tear from regular use, dust and debris buildup, or electrical failures. A faulty fan motor can lead to overheating of the condenser coils, which can cause the refrigerator to operate inefficiently or stop cooling altogether.

Symptoms of a bad Condenser Fan Motor include:

• The refrigerator running warmer than usual
• The condenser coils being hot to the touch
• The fan not spinning or making unusual noises
• Increased energy consumption

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

Note: Due to a manufacturing change, if your original fan motor has a 3-terminal connector, order fan motor W10124096 which includes an adapter harness to convert to the new 4-terminal connector.
