Kitchenaid Refrigerator KSRW22FHBL02 Freezer section 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 Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located inside the refrigerator compartment, it powers the evaporator fan, which circulates air across the cooling coils. This is the motor only. For the blade order part number WP2169142.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• No air movement detected coming from vents inside the refrigerator
• Warmer internal temperatures due to inadequate air circulation
• Strange grinding or knocking noises emanating from the rear wall

Causes of failure can be normal wear over time, accumulation of dust obstructing fan blades, or damage to motor windings from moisture penetration.

This OEM part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Kenmore refrigerator 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.

Kit includes relay, overload, cover and instructions.
