Whirlpool refrigerator compressor

I would seriously NOT recommend doing this! Trying to run a 110 volt appliance at 220 volts is too much power for the electrics inside the refrigerator (or any 110v appliance) to cope with. You will 'Fry' the electrics possibly even risking causing a fire. Do you have a model or serial number for this refrigerator? You might have to see if you can source one online and import it from the US. That could get expensive! A simple and obvious answer here if the part is so difficult to get, is to buy a whole new refrigerator. Compare the cost of both options as it may be cheaper to replace the whole appliance.

Ice crusher has stopped crushing - Ikea/Whirlpool

The solenoid has nothing to do with the crusher mechanism. Rather it delivers water to the ice tray when empty. Check that the ice door closes completely after ice is dispensed otherwise frost can build up in the crusher blades and prevent them from moving into position. Otherwise, check for a worn out part that connects to the blades and would prevent them from articulating.

Water in the bottom of freezer.

It sounds like the drian line may be pluged with frozen ice or debris like food particles and plastic paper etc. when the water is not able to drain it will usually freeze up and effect the cold level in both freezer and fridge. sometimes a bad evaprorator fan will not circulate air can can cause drian plug issues. do u hear the fan operating? if you have a soft long wire or tubing you can unplug the drain line by pushing tube or wire into the line and force food down to exit, see pics Im sending, are you having any issues with freezing in freezer? drain center drain holer-undefined-undefined-0_0.jpg drain coppertubesolutionfridgepiccloseup-undefined-undefined-1.jpg drain fridge-drain-pan-undefined-undefined-2.jpg drain plug in tt 006e-undefined-undefined-3_0.jpg evap fan-undefined-undefined-4.jpg

Jenn Air refrigerator not cooling enough

Based on the information provided, there are several possible causes for the Jenn Air refrigerator not cooling enough. One possible cause is a damaged or clogged condenser coil. The condenser coil is responsible for releasing heat from the refrigerator, and if it is damaged or clogged, it can cause the refrigerator to not cool properly. Another possible cause is a malfunctioning compressor. The compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant and circulating it through the refrigerator's cooling system. If the compressor is not working properly, it can cause the refrigerator to not cool enough. Additionally, a refrigerant leak can also cause a refrigerator to not cool properly. It is also possible that pulling the fridge forward may have caused damage to the electrical wiring or components of the refrigerator, which could be causing it to trip the circuit multiple times per day. As for the ice maker, rust in the water supply line could indeed be causing clogs and preventing it from working properly. To determine the exact cause of the issue, it is recommended to contact a professional appliance repair service to diagnose and fix the problem.

We have an Estate Whirlpool Side by Side Fridge

You have done some good work, and you are right on the money. Yes you need a new filter. There are o-rings that seal on each filter. These wear out but when you replace the filter you naturally get new o-rings and they seal better :) These seals used to be in the housing, but you can see the problem with that. Once those wear out, you have a much worse problem replacing those then with a filter. It's perfect really, you change the filter because you have too, and get a new seal at the same time!

Need part number for thermostat in old Whirlpool EET151PK fridge. Model is EET151PK. Thanks!

This is so old that this model (if it is correct) is only mentioned on Fixya. That never happens. If it is correct, you have two options
  1. Buy a new one.
  2. Go to a local refrigeration spares store with the old one and say "have you go anything like this" and take one that is close from a later model.

Whirlpool side-by-side American style fridge-freezer and the bottom of the freezer is icing over

It sounds like you may have a problem with the defrost system in your Whirlpool side-by-side American style fridge-freezer. There are a few possible causes for this issue, including a faulty defrost timer, defrost thermostat, or defrost heater. If the defrost timer is faulty, it may not be initiating the defrost cycle at the appropriate times, which can lead to excess ice buildup in the freezer. The defrost thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature in the freezer and initiating the defrost cycle when necessary. If it is faulty, it may not be properly sensing the temperature in the freezer, leading to excess ice buildup. The defrost heater is responsible for melting the ice buildup in the freezer during the defrost cycle. If it is faulty, it may not be able to properly melt the ice, leading to excess ice buildup. To diagnose the issue, you may need to remove all of the back panels in the freezer to inspect the defrost system components. However, it may be best to call in an expert to avoid any further damage to your appliance. A professional technician can diagnose the issue and make any necessary repairs to get your fridge-freezer working properly again.

Whirlpool side by side wrf535swhwo1 making plenty of ice but nothing to stop the bar from flopping up and down. Please help quick if possible .thank you so much

It sounds like the ice maker's feeler arm or sensor is not functioning properly. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the feeler arm: The feeler arm is a metal wire that extends from the ice maker and should be resting on top of the ice in the ice bucket. Make sure it is not stuck or blocked in any way. If it is, adjust it so that it can move freely.
  2. Check the sensor: Some ice makers have an infrared sensor instead of a feeler arm. Make sure this is clean and not obstructed in any way.
  3. Reset the ice maker: You can reset the ice maker by unplugging the refrigerator for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This may help to reset any electronic issues that could be causing the problem.
  4. Replace the ice maker: If none of the above steps work, it may be time to replace the ice maker. You can purchase a replacement ice maker from your local appliance store or online.
Remember to always refer to your owner's manual or consult with a professional if you are unsure about performing any repairs on your appliance.

I have a Whirlpool 25 SSA model EOFHGX NQ00 side by side refrigerator and the water maker has not worked for a while?

If the water maker on your Whirlpool side by side refrigerator has not been working for a while, there could be several reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:
  1. Check the water supply: Make sure that the water supply to the refrigerator is turned on and that there are no kinks in the water supply line.
  2. Check the water filter: The water filter may be clogged or expired. Replace the water filter and see if this resolves the issue.
  3. Check the water inlet valve: The water inlet valve may be faulty or clogged. You can test the water inlet valve using a multimeter. If it is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
  4. Check the water dispenser switch: If the water dispenser switch is faulty, it may not be sending the signal to the water inlet valve to release water. You can test the switch using a multimeter.
  5. Check the water dispenser tubing: The water dispenser tubing may be frozen or clogged. Try defrosting the refrigerator and see if this resolves the issue.
If none of these troubleshooting steps work, you may need to contact a qualified technician to diagnose and fix the issue.

Whirlpool GS6NHAXVK refrigerator not freezing , just cool.

There are a few possible reasons why your Whirlpool GS6NHAXVK refrigerator's freezer is not freezing, but just cooling. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the temperature settings: Ensure that the temperature settings are set to the appropriate level. The recommended temperature for the freezer is between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to -15 degrees Celsius).
  2. Check the freezer fan: The freezer fan is responsible for circulating cold air throughout the freezer. If it's not working, then the air won't circulate properly, and your freezer won't freeze. You can check if the fan is working by opening the freezer door and listening for the fan sound. If it's not working, you may need to replace it.
  3. Check the defrost system: If the defrost system isn't working correctly, then ice can build up on the evaporator coils, blocking the flow of cold air. You can check the defrost system by removing the back panel inside the freezer and looking for any ice buildup. If there is a lot of ice buildup, you may need to replace the defrost thermostat, defrost timer, or defrost heater.
  4. Check the condenser fan: The condenser fan is responsible for drawing air across the condenser coils to remove heat from the refrigerator. If it's not working correctly, the refrigerator will not be able to remove heat, and the freezer will not be able to freeze. You can check the condenser fan by removing the back panel and looking for any obstructions. If the fan is not running, you may need to replace it.
  5. Check the compressor: The compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant, which cools the air in the refrigerator. If it's not working correctly, then the refrigerator won't be able to cool properly. You can check the compressor by listening for a humming sound coming from the back of the refrigerator. If you don't hear anything, or if the sound is abnormal, you may need to replace the compressor.
If none of these troubleshooting steps work, it's best to call a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
