Whirlpool Refrigerator 4YED20TKFN02 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 Cold Control is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, acting as a thermostat that regulates the temperature inside the fridge and freezer compartments. It's a critical component that ensures your refrigerator maintains the desired temperature to keep your food fresh and safe. 

Causes of a bad Cold Control may include electrical malfunctions within the control unit, which can prevent accurate temperature sensing. Wear and tear from continuous use may lead to a degradation of the control's responsiveness. 

Symptoms of a bad Cold Control include:

• The refrigerator or freezer is too warm or too cold
• Frequent or continuous running of the refrigerator's compressor
• Inability to start the cooling system

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 Air Diffuser Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It regulates the airflow between the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring the proper distribution of cold air to maintain the desired temperatures in both sections.  

Common causes of a faulty air diffuser assembly include wear and tear from regular use, damage from ice buildup, or mechanical failure of the moving parts within the diffuser.

Symptoms of a bad air diffuser assembly include:

• Uneven temperatures between the refrigerator and freezer compartments
• Frost buildup in the freezer or refrigerator
