    Rest in peace dear Bill. My condolences to your family and your loved ones. Pretty sure everyone who knew you loved you and misses you. Thank you so much for another very helpful video.

    Almost twenty years of dog hair and country dust and I’d never thought of looking underneath to clean around the coils. I wish I had taken a picture. As soon as I cleaned it out I could feel air circulating out the front. Who knew? Lol The next morning my ice cream was once again frozen. Thanks so much!

    Great in-depth tips, thank you!
    It helped me think about my current troubleshooting case more deeply... specifically, I didn’t put the back cover back on this fridge while testing it. This is preventing the compressor fan from pulling air across the compressor coils, and might explain why I can’t find any more defective parts (replaced a defective freezer temp. sensor), but it still doesn’t cool enough in the freezer.

    Hi Bill, Graham from down under in Melbourne , Australia. Bill your videos & explanations of fault finding of refrigerators are brilliant & I wanted to personally thank you for all the information that you share freely with everyone. In this day & age there are too many people that just want to take & are not prepared to give. Can you please help me out with an issue I have with my side by side Whirlpool Refrigerator Model 6ED25DQXFW00. The Freezer section is fine however the fridge part is not cold enough. I can confirm that the evaporator fan in the freezer is operating ok & cold air is entering the fridge for a period of time. Initially, I thought I had a faulty diffuser as the flap was not allowing cold air into the fridge so I replaced it with a new one. My issue is that the flap is not opening to allow the cold air into the fridge as it is generally closed. Occasionally, I have to manually insert a knife into the diffuser from the fridge side to slightly open the flap. Could I have a faulty Refrigerator Thermostat? Once again many thanks!

    I see most of the posts/comments are 2-5 years old so...hope you're still online and available to answer any questions we consumers might have, Bill. We have a Whirlpool Side-by-Side InverterPlus Refrigerator/Freezer (Model 7S21 FNI SL) that we purchased second-hand; ever since Day #1, the freezer unit only frosts over when I use the magic "Quick Freeze" option on the temperature/control module. The fridge works fine - or seems to - but (as you say) the freezer "doesn't know what temperature it's supposed to be at." I could see any/all of the diagnostic problems you've addressed being part of the anomaly but "it DOES actually frost over when I hit the magic asterisk (*) on that control on the outside freezer door.
    To be sure, I'm not really expecting an answer anytime soon, but...I thought this better than paying $200-300 for some half-baked technician(s) to come here and tell us it's outta freon (which I know it ain't if the shelves are freezing under "Quick Freeze" mode. Like they say, I was born at night...but not LAST night. Your best guess is what I'll take to the bank, Sir - I'm not an electronics or even similarly functional repairman, by any stretch; so anything you have to offer as a solution is great with me.
    Thanks!!!

    thanks bill, good info i have the soft icecream problem 'checked timer ,heat coil,fans are running, motor runs cleaned all coils,but only 1/2 the inside coil ends up frozen,so im thinking it probly needs more freon ,thanks for your help

    Superb explanation for a unique problem...super educative...
    I have a 15 year old LG , have a feeling that evaporator fan has slowed down ...as temperatures are ok in freezer n fridge, but feel cold air flow into fridge is lesser than before...maybe fan rpm is down...??? Can't check that..
    Suggestions would be welcome..thank you. !!!

    Bill: Your videos are great! Please help, our freezer freezes off and on. When not working we turn the refrigerator knob off and back on. It then starts, sometime great other times start and stops. Is it the refrigerator cold control thermostat going or the compressor? Thanks for all you help and wonderful information.

    My freezer is not freezing (ice cream soft) and I noticed the compressor is very HOT, condenser coils are clean, so is it low freon that is causing the compressor to run hot (129°)?

    question bill will a refrigerator go bad if it has been setting unplug for one year or that should not matter . I had it in storage for a year and they told me that it is probably no good anymore because it had be setting to long .

    • @go2madmax
      @go2madmax 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You could plug it in and see. If it has been laying on it's side the oil migrates from the compressor to the freon lines, that's bad. You would just need to stand it upright for 24 hours before you turn it on. Otherwise it shouldn't really matter if it's clean.

      yeah bill the back (bottom part only the last couple of coils) were frozen.. so i changed out the bottom sensor and the heat/defrost part at the bottom end of the coild.. on monday today is wednesday.. now the ice maker isn't making any ice it used to before, and i really don't see any change in tempeture.. i put a tray of water as a test to see if it would freeze on the bottom tray of the freezer side..it has not turned to ice yet after 48 hours...should i just throw the fridge away...its driving me crazy..

  • @richochett404
    @richochett404 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    My whirlpool side by side was not cooling. I replaced the timer and thermostat and cleaned the evaporator. Still wasn't cooling. The door light switch which worked ok when I pushed it by hand,when I shut the door,it wasn't working. I took a coin and taped it to the door,so when I closed the door,the light went out,and the fan was blowing. It probably needs a door adjustment,but I have been using that penny for over a year,and that was all that was wrong with it. It took me a week to figure this out . Give it a try,

    But i didnt see anything blocking the fan from spinning

      I know it’s probably too late now, but I bet it’s the bearings and just needs the motor to be replaced. eBay is the best place to get things like that.
