Whirlpool Refrigerator EB9FVBLVS00 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.

This refrigerator defrost timer automatically starts and ends the defrost cycle to melt frost from the evaporator coils. Replacing a failed timer restores consistent cooling performance and helps prevent frost buildup that can restrict airflow.

• Controls the timed switch between cooling and defrost to keep evaporator coils clear of frost
• Common symptoms of failure: heavy frost on the evaporator or back panel, fresh food section too warm, unit runs constantly, or won't resume cooling after defrost
• Restores proper frost removal and airflow for stable temperatures
• Designed to match the original timer's function and wiring connections for applicable models

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access location varies by model—often in the fresh food control housing or rear machine compartment
• Photograph/label wire positions and transfer them to the matching terminals on the new timer
• Reuse original mounting hardware and install in the same orientation as the original

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.

This defrost heater assembly melts frost from the evaporator during the defrost cycle to keep air flowing and maintain consistent temperatures. Replacing a failed heater helps restore proper cooling performance and prevents excessive frost buildup.

• Heats the evaporator coil during defrost to clear ice and frost
• Helps resolve symptoms like heavy frost/ice on the evaporator, poor cooling, or warm fridge/cold freezer imbalance
• Can address frequent evaporator fan icing or blocked air passages

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any ice to thaw safely
• Access is typically behind the rear panel of the freezer compartment
• Handle the heater and wiring carefully; avoid bending or stressing terminals
• Verify proper placement of any clips/shields and wiring connections match original
