Thank you for your videos! As a owner of a appliance rental/cash sale shop I can fix my own products and customers throwing away there appliances I can now fix. Like how straight forward you are. Again great person and great videos! Thanks here in Ohio
Very good and self explanatory u tube. Not only good in explaining installation but gives symptoms of failed thermostat
I love the pro tip! Novice people don't realize the dangers that are always present but not obvious! Thank you!
+james norton lol Thanks!
A million thanks. You saved me a ton of money and got me to fix every problem..
Thank you for sharing video and information, it’s a big help to all of us poor people,,😊
Evap fan motor won’t spin. Motor replaced. Then realized power wasn’t getting to the motor, so replaced the board. Now I have power to the motor. Thought Defrost thermostat was the prob. When by passed, fan turns on. Replaced defrost thermostat which is open at room temp. So fan won’t come on until it’s cold.
So replaced 3 parts. Fridge is room temp, as if just brought home from the store. Plug in, but freezer isn’t cold enough to make the fan run because the stat is in an open state. If the fan doesn’t run, the air doesn’t move the cold. I can see the evap coil start to frost up when fridge is plugged in. So I know the know the compressor is working.
Left unit plugged in over night it’s been 11 hours. Spec sheet says freezer should be -18°C to -16°C. The thermostat I use for my pool is on the bottom of my freezer, it’s reading 0°C.
Thank You for explaining how the defroster works and power system
Mine hangs and has to be tuned a tad to work
Thank you sharing your expertise. It's very useful information.
20' in your shop! You're hardcore Bill.
I like this video series.
Sadly he is spending time in the cold to help us, God Bless you and family ❤
Thanks man....
You tips were very HELPFUL.
Bill, excellent video, thank you for posting it!
Hi Bill my Kenmore Elite side by side is warm on both sides evap and condenser fans both work. Compressor also works. I did notice the evap fan didn’t come on right away when I plugged it in. Love your videos very helpful.
Gracias por tu consejo mi amigo Dios te tenga en el cielo
You always do a great job
+MrMultitool Thanks!
I have a problem but what you shared did not address it yet I guess I may have to look at the evaporator motor or the compressor my coils are not frozen and the freezer works great so my defroster is working good I don't have the timer adjustment on mine like is on yours right now I have the refrigerator on the coldest setting to see what happens by morning.
Great video thanks for sharing.
+Pops McCartney You are very welcome, Thanks for Watching!
So the fan is not defective what was the issue why was it not spinning ??
I have same problem and will check vlt/ohm on fan . And see if defrost timer works.
super job bill!!!
+jimbola77 Thanks Again!
Hi Bill ! I am changing the board on a WHIRLPOOL Model WRF555SDFRZ but I dont have a CODE in the label,,,,so I don't know if I have to reprogramm it or not, Could you tell me something about it please ? I am a little confused watching other videos talking about reprogramming but if that is the case I will need a code which I don't have....what to do ? Thanks in advance, Ramon Perera, Miami
6:31 - I have a stupid question...If accidentally those two red-tipped wires were replaced in the reverse position of how they came off, would it affect how the fan works - like blow air in the reverse direction/spin the opposite way? My freezer is on the bottom. The motor went bad. Replaced the motor & now I have air blowing in my face when I open the freezer door instead of going up the back of the fridge. Just making sure before I take it apart again :) (Maytag fridge that uses whirlpool parts)
Answer this one . EVAP motor was getting 40 volts... Opened defrost timer.. contacts pretty chard up.. so replaced it .. test leads to motor and got 120 volt.. plug motor in 120 volt goes away.. bench test motor works fine... Then voltage dropped to below 30 volts again at motor leads...... And a couple times the voltage slowly ramped up to 110 volts.... Irritated... Because it's a stupid problem to have... You think it's in thermostat?
great video! so the timer not passing power to fan?
+Robert Munguia Timer passes power to the fan when the thermostat is calling for cold and the timer is not in defrost.
@@BillNewberry what was the problem ? If the fan was good?
Hello .. My whirpool gold side by side would be running perfectly but after a while i hear clicking sound and the ref stops cooling. by simply power off and on the ref it would work another few hours and happens again. I have cleaned the coils . What could it be?
Thanks Great Vid
Hi, if the speed of that fan is reduced, what it can cause? After the hurracane IRMA my refrigerator was 4 day without power and after the power was restore, the fresh food side is not cooling properly. The freezer is working fine but not with the same performace and the evaporator is super cold, it can be this fan? Let me know thanks!
Do they only have 1 rotation?
I left my fridgedoor open i defrosted it now it works everything is frozen but it constantly runs and if i manuallly turn it off it feel like the compressor shakes can you help me diagnose it please
Whirlpool double door fridge model FF 400 evaporater fan not working what is problem
Thumbs up
Fan working so why is it not spinning? There is something along the fan power supply that did not supply fan with power.
same problem i hv replaced fann nn it still not spinning
@@todaytomorrow3949 did you get a fix for t his?
waiiiit!!! why didnt motor work if it was good????? what did you do,,replace the mtr????,,cant believe everybodys not asking same question
+Raybo sflorida At 5:35, Billsaid he had the refrgirator unplugged.
Still doesn't answer question..I knew that already
+Raybo sflorida The fan was spinning in the fridge when the 120 volts was present. I said, if you have voltage and the fan is not spinning, then the fan motor is defective. Does that answer your questions?
@@BillNewberry I still don’t know why the motor was not getting voltage? What was the causing the evaporator motor to not getting the proper voltage. I have the same exact problem with my fridge. Could you elaborate a bit more as to what part could possibly be the defective.
I am getting no voltage at evaporator motor. The compressor and condenser fan are working fine. The first two minutes of your video is exactly what I have.
For me, my board was bad. Replaced my board and motor got power.
What if there's no power to the fan?
Jesus Christ!!!! EVERYTHING is NOT a defrost problem. Why is it every video of yours goes straight to defrost system???
