Whirlpool Refrigerator ED25DQXVN03 – Frig Side – 50 degrees; Freezer Side 39 degrees. Both too warm. No frost showing inside freezer. Can hear fan motor running when I open freezer. Yes, my coils underneath are clean (I do that regularly). I am hoping it is not the compressor. Seems like everything I read, says if I do not have frost and fan is running, it cannot be the cheap repair. Suggestion please.
Hi Carolyn,
Remove the panel in back where the compressor is and feel if the compressor is running. It will be vibrating if it’s running. Just being hot in itself doesn’t mean the compressor is running– it could be trying to start and failing which would be a bad start relay.
But one thing at a time. Check the compressor and let me know.
Hello,
I have a Frigidaire side-by-side. A couple of weeks ago, the refrigerator side started to get warmer and eventually got to room temperature while freezer kept working and was developing frost on the back interior. After leaving unplugged and cleaning the mess up, I re started. It looked like both sides were working ok at this point. A couple of days later, the fresh food side started warming up again. I ordered a defrost timer (manual type) and replaced it, hoping that that would take care of it. The problem surfaced again.
Please help.
FYI, I can hear the fan blowing in the top of the freezer compartment, I can also feel that the partition between the two compartments gets warmed up.
I have a GE gms10aararww a small apartment size refrigerator. It cools, shuts down, doesn’t turn back on. If I unplug it, let it warm slightly,plug it back in it will start and cool, reach temperature, and shut down and not start. When it is off it will not start by doing anything other than unplugging it, letting the temp go up and re plugging it back in. She only worked right for a year. Thermostat or relay or? (if there is a relay)
I’ve gotten help here before and fixed another larger unit. Usually I fix sewing machines.
So a real grasshopper here.
