Whirlpool Refrigerator ED2VHEXVB00 Won't start or doesn't start

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

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

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

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This compressor start device (5SP) helps your refrigerator's compressor start reliably and can resolve clicking/no-start issues. Replacing a weak start device may restore cooling performance and eliminate repeated clicking from the compressor area. What it does:

• Provides PTC-assisted start to the compressor, then disengages the start circuit after startup
• Helps safeguard the compressor by interrupting the start circuit under abnormal current/heat conditions
• Failure symptoms can include: refrigerator not cooling, compressor won't start and clicks every few seconds, or intermittent cooling/short cycling

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the compressor compartment; remove the cover/retainer and note wire locations
• Pull the old start device straight off the compressor pins; align and push the new device fully onto the terminals
• Reconnect wiring, reinstall any cover or bracket, and restore power to test

The Defrost Control Board is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This circuit board coordinates defrost heating cycles to remove built-up frost from evaporator coils.

Causes relate to water damage following leaks, component failure due to power surges loosening connectors, or general component wear over time.

Symptoms of issues include:

• Frost accumulation on interior freezer walls reducing capacity
• Food freezing underneath heavy buildup layers
• Inoperable heating element failing to restore airflow

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.
