Whirlpool WPW10225581 Defrost Thermostat OEM Part

Condenser was encased in solid block of ice due to automatic defrost not working. Replaced thermostat and ADC control board. Working fine now. Most tedious part was using a heat gun to melt all the ice off the condenser coils. You will need a couple small wire nuts to splice the new thermostat into the existing harness (they are not included). Service tech wanted over $400 to repair, fixed it myself for half that. Thanks !

Use the website to diagnose potential problems. The two most-likely fixes were a new heater element and a new thermostat. I was hesitant to try the repair, but the online video was so excellent that I decided to do the repair myself. I ordered the parts and they showed up the next afternoon! I made the repair that evening, following the instructions in the video. So far, the refrigerator seems to working fine.

First I came to this wonderful Web site where they had videos on how to repair it. I ordered the defrost thermostat from this Web site and they had it to me I no time at all. Installed the part and it has been working great.

Tried to put refrigerator in defrost mode and defrost would not initiate. Checked the bi-metal and heater, both tested good. Replaced the ADC board and refrigerator went in to defrost. problem solved.

After advice from a technician I checked for a compressor relay, however I did not know what it looked like and where it was located. I did a search on the internet and found your competitors website. They claimed to have the part and shared pictures. After taking apart every electronic component in my refrig I still could not find the relay shown on their site. I was afraid of ordering the wrong part. So I did another search and then found your website. I was amazed you would take the time to create a video. The video had shown me, your competitor had the wrong parts.They caused me to waste a great deal of time. Your video showed it was a 4 minute fix. The refrig originally cost me $2000.00 and I almost gave it away, the actual repair cost for the parts was $44, but I bought other pairs - the Capacitor and Thermostat. At a total cost of $122 it was a bargain. Since I ready bought a new Refrig, I am keeping this one in my garage. My wife is very happy. Thank you for all you do for us novice repairman. My trade is Telecommunications but I feel qualified to work on another refrig.
