Kitchenaid Refrigerator KSRV25FHWH01 Fridge too warm

The Whirlpool Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. The defrost timer regulates the automatic defrost cycle, which prevents ice buildup on the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment by sending a signal to the defrost heater to turn on and melt any ice buildup on the coils. 

Causes of a bad defrost timer can include mechanical wear over time, electrical failures, or internal component damage. Prolonged usage and voltage spikes can also affect the timer's functionality.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperatures
• Unusual noises coming from the appliance 
• The appliance running continuously without cycling off

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 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 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 condenser fan motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a vital role in circulating refrigerant through the condenser coils, facilitating heat exchange and maintaining the refrigerator's cooling efficiency.

Over time, the motor-condenser can wear out or fail due to electrical issues, mechanical wear, or blockages in the condenser system. A malfunctioning motor can compromise the refrigerator's cooling performance, leading to temperature fluctuations and increased energy consumption.

Symptoms of a bad Motor-Condenser include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor running continuously
• Increased energy bills due to inefficient operation
• Overheating of the refrigerator

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.

Kit includes relay, overload, cover and instructions.

The Refrigerator Door Gasket (BLK) is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This black gasket is designed to create a tight seal around the refrigerator door, preventing warm air from entering and cool air from escaping. The gasket is black in color and measures approximately 19 ¼” wide by 62" tall. 

Causes of a bad door gasket can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from cleaning chemicals or sharp objects, or warping due to temperature fluctuations. Over time, the gasket may lose its flexibility and sealing ability.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• The refrigerator door not closing properly
• Visible cracks or tears in the gasket
• Condensation or frost buildup around the door seal
• Increased energy bills due to the refrigerator working harder to maintain temperature

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

This refrigerator compressor starting device includes the start relay, overload and cover.

The Heater is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part prevents frost buildup by heating the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle. This part ensures that air flows freely over the coils, improving the efficiency of the cooling system and maintaining the refrigerator at the optimal temperature. 

Causes of a bad heater can include electrical failures, such as a blown fuse or a faulty wiring connection, or physical damage to the heater element itself.  

Symptoms of a bad Heater include:

• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator and freezer not maintaining the desired temperatures
