Whirlpool Refrigerator ET9FTTXLT12 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 Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, designed to provide the necessary electrical charge to start and run the compressor motor. This part attaches to the compressor to aids in maintaining a consistent motor speed and ensuring smooth operation. The run capacitor plays a crucial role in the appliance's electrical system, storing and releasing energy as needed to power the motor.

Causes of a bad Run Capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating, which can lead to a failure in providing the necessary start-up energy or maintaining motor speed.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The appliance does not start.
• The motor shuts off shortly after starting.
• The appliance is humming but not running.
• Increased energy consumption.

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 Bimetal is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It acts as a safety thermostat that monitors and controls the temperature during the defrost cycle. This component ensures that the defrost heater turns off when the evaporator coil reaches a specific temperature, preventing overheating and potential damage.

Causes of failure may include a malfunction due to wear and tear over time, electrical failure, or damage from moisture and ice.  

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Bimetal include:

• The refrigerator is constantly running without cycling off
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils, leading to reduced cooling efficiency
• The refrigerator or freezer compartment is too warm
• Unusual fluctuations in refrigerator temperature

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in circulating air over the evaporator coils and throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring even cooling and temperature regulation.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include electrical malfunctions, accumulation of debris, or normal wear and tear over time. If the fan motor fails, it can lead to inadequate cooling and uneven temperatures within the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the freezer
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator running continuously or cycling on and off frequently

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

The Condenser Motor Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It includes a motor, fan blade, wire harness, and hardware, designed to replace the existing condenser motor in your refrigerator. This kit is crucial for maintaining the appliance's cooling efficiency by circulating air through the condenser coils and over the compressor, helping to dissipate heat and prevent overheating. 

Over time, the condenser motor can fail due to mechanical wear, electrical issues, or blockages that restrict airflow and cause the motor to overheat.  

Symptoms of a bad Condenser Motor Kit include:

• The refrigerator does not cool adequately
• Unusual noises from the back of the refrigerator where the motor is located
• The refrigerator compressor runs hotter than normal
• Increased electrical consumption as the refrigerator tries to maintain cooling efficiency

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

The Relay and Overload Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an essential component of the refrigerator's electrical control system, responsible for powering components and protecting circuits from overload. 

Causes of a bad relay and overload kit include circuit malfunctions, failed or worn-out components, or improper installation. 

Symptoms of a bad relay and overload kit are:

• Refrigerator not cooling or icing 
• Components like lights or fans not working
• Buzzing or humming noises from the electrical control area
• Repeated blown fuses 

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