    Your last comment regarding the cooling off was really important to me. I needed to know how to shut my refrigerator off so that I could clean the shelves without leaving the doors open and having the refrigerator run. Because it took me a while to clean my fridge my icemaker clogged with ice and is no longer dispensing. So I am trying the cooling off for a period of time and then turning it back on to see if the ice in the ice water dispenser will defrost. If that works that will save me a service call to get my icemaker working again. It was working fine before I decided to clean my fridge after I cleaned it it stopped making ice. So thank you for that cooling off information it was helpful

      @@joemcmillan8943 to my knowledge, I didn't think that the fridge itself had a defrost heater. I could be wrong however. I thought that only the freezer side had the defrost heating elements. Checking the parts diagrams on parts sites can help confirm. The only way I could think of would be from the technician menu that allows you to cycle things on and off. Naturally this mnu can be dangerous as it gives you access to turn things on and off in an unsafe manner. I have found that technician menu online. So the steps to access it are in the wild. Searching yourself helps ensure the right model number.

    @TheProjectHelpDesk Helpful! Do you have a video or tip on what to do if those display indicators are not working? It’s intermittent. Every now and then, they all light up again and display all the words and icons. Then sometimes about half are dark (on the right half of the display). Then a few weeks later they will all randomly work again. Can’t find info anywhere. I have the 4-drawer Whirlpool. Is it an LED bulb(s) or a control board at fault? Thanks!

    • @TheProjectHelpDesk
      @TheProjectHelpDesk  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is very difficult to remotely diagnose something like that unfortunately. If you look at the parts diagrams from the different internet sites that sells part though, you can get an idea of how many parts connect together. From memory, I think that board assembly is an all in one assembly that basically houses the control board and the indicators. So this is a good place to suspect. But beware, a lot of people complain about broken wires in the harness. Where the wires leave the freezer door. If you wiggle that harness and get the intermittent issue, you might need to suspect that cable.

    • @TheProjectHelpDesk
      @TheProjectHelpDesk  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you are talking about the step related to disabling cooling, then imagine the ones you see in the stores. It basically turns off the 'cooling mechanism' but allows the interior lights to still function. Most displays you see in the retailers are set this way. That way you can see the inside when you open the door, but it isn't using electricity to run the compressor and keep things cold. So, as you mentioned, this is only intended if your fridge is empty. You can also build up a musty smell doing this but it usually goes away after it is plugged back in. Personally, I would simply unplug the unit and leave the doors open instead. As long as I didn't need to worry about children, pets, wild animals, or debris.

    • @TheProjectHelpDesk
      @TheProjectHelpDesk  ปีที่แล้ว

      Let me start by saying that I am not an expert on everythging. And this model has like 5 different ice maker options. So yours may not be like mine. But from what I have read in my manual, I did not see anything specific that would allow the adjustment of the amount of water that goes in during a cycle. Now in theory, slowly closing off the water valve on the back to reduce the water that can flow in. I 'THINK' it is timer based so less ability to push water in might lower the total amount of water in the tray during the cycle. This would however also lower the amount of water pressure on the water dispenser though.

    • @TheProjectHelpDesk
      @TheProjectHelpDesk  ปีที่แล้ว

      I may not have an answer on this one. Replacing the water filter shouldn't cause the ice maker to just stop working that I am aware of. The one thing I can think of is a general power cycle of the whole fridge. IE unplug it for about 5 mins and plug it back in. Ours has a switch behind the ice bin, but different models have different mechanisms. So hard to say.

    I had a problem where the freezer drawer open switch (middle of fridge/top of the freezer drawer) was iced up. The door open with red X was displaying: no ice/water or light working. I can't remember exactly what I did (apart from thawing out the frozen switch with a hair dryer), but it still wouldn't come back online -- I held down the two left most buttons for 3 seconds (a timer pops up), it seems to shut it down and do a reset. Did that and redid the filter reset and everything came back on line. Also, if the fridge hasn't had the ice used regularly, it can clump and clog up the auger, so dump the ice as well. Hope this helps someone.

      They (DO WORK)! They work if I touch the display. My touch triggers the display lights to come back on and stay lighted for approximately a couple of minutes and then it goes dark again.

      As I understand it, Fast Cooling basically works the same as Fast Ice, but on the fridge side instead of the freezer side. So it lowers your fridge temp temporarily. An example of why you would use this would be right before loading up groceries. When a lot of warm items would be getting placed in at one time. This gives it more cold air to speed up the cool down time.

      So there are really only three components to the ice system. The icemaker itself, the control board, and the wiring. There is a known issue with wires breaking at the bottom of the freezer door. Sometimes internally so you can't really see it broken. There has been enough of these failures that is spawned a lawsuit in fact. I would start by inspecting the wiring under the freezer door. My gut tells me, someone replaced the icemaker first and that the wiring might be actual root cause.

      Even when calibrated, unless you select the measured fill option, it should just run as long as you want. When we push a cup to ours, and just hold it there, it runs as long as we want without counting the amount. If I briefly lift the cup off the pad, and put it back, it then starts counting. So as long as you just place the cup on the pad and hold it, you shouldn't be forced to get a measured fill. At least not on ours.

      Off the top of my head I have not heard of this before. The crushed ice is basically just a little metal thing that rotates into place. So in theory it could be frozen up.

      The short answer is that only the freezer door adjusts. On the bottom of the freezer door is an adjustment bolt that you tighten or loosen to raise or lower the freezer. See page 27 here: www.whirlpool.com/content/dam/global/documents/202302/owners-manual-w11650257-revA.pdf If you mean the gap between the two doors then check out page 23.

    How can you tell what the temperature is inside the freezer and fridge without putting a thermometer inside? You could have it set for 37 and it could 45 inside.

    • @TheProjectHelpDesk
      @TheProjectHelpDesk  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      To my knowledge there is no way. We actually have a cheap thermometer on the outside door that has a sensor in each compartment. That way we can see the temp at a glance, even when the power is out, without opening the doors. I highly recommend one of these.

    • @TheProjectHelpDesk
      @TheProjectHelpDesk  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you mean the temp inside the fridge and freezer themselves, then from all my research, you can't actually display those. You can only display what your set temps are. Not what they actual temp is. That is why we bought a remote, battery operated temp display to monitor our temps, even when the power is out, without opening the doors.

      If your ice maker is in the door, you have to remove the part that catches the ice and then look for an on off switch on the left side that was covered up by the part you removed.

      If it is the one I am thinking of, then it is just a 'Door Ajar' light. indicates the door is not closed all the way. If it stays on after the door is completely closed then it could be a bad switch.

      That happens to actually be the default setting. We keep it there because we lose power often out where we are. In fact , in situations like a hurricane, I will drop it down even colder in case we lose power for an extended time.

      Different models have a few different features. And I am not familiar with them all. The quick ice function on ours only lasts for 24 hours. It both lowers the temp in the freezer and shortens the time on the cycle.

      From memory, P0 generally relates to power issues. It could be a transient error that goes away with a powercycle. IE unplug it for a few minutes. If that error remains, then it is likely a bad part. Likely the control board. But likely something a professional should check.

    One of the two main things I wanted in a fridge, it was a deal breaker, I wanted temp, I wanted to be able to walk up and see exactly what the temp is on my fridge and freezer, since the fridge was not plugged in at the store, I saw the button that stated TEMP, What a rip off these Whirlpools are. Mine is two years old and it is not working temp is way up, it is late so I have no recourse. Typical Blank made you know what.

    • @TheProjectHelpDesk

      So far we haven't had any issues out of ours. We actually prefer not having our displays lit. We turn off as many displays as we can. You likely already thought about it, but they do sell magnetic thermometers that have sensors you can place in the fridge and freezer. Not an ideal fix but it is an option and they are pretty cheap. In fact, we just purchased one ourselves so we can monitor temps in case of a power failure. Something that the built in powered thermometers usually can't do on. We will do doing a video on this later once we find out if it is a good one or not. Here is an affiliate link in case you want to check out the one we ordered. amzn.to/3sBvOT5
