Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair – Carrollton, OH

A Whirlpool refrigerator on Airport Road in Carrollton was frosting in the freezer. We found the thermistor in the freezer department had failed again after a previous replacement. This was handled as a warranty repair with no charge to the customer.

The Problem

The customer reported frosting in freezer. This type of ice buildup typically indicates temperature control issues that prevent proper defrost cycling.

Diagnosis

We found the thermistor in the freezer department had failed. This was the same part that was replaced previously, indicating either a defective replacement part or an underlying system issue causing premature failure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10383615 — thermistor
• Work performed: Replaced the thermistor in the freezer department
• Result: It was a warranty repair, no charge for today’s service

Is It Worth Repairing?

Whirlpool refrigerators are generally reliable appliances built for long service life. A thermistor replacement is a relatively minor repair that restores proper temperature control and defrost function. Most Whirlpool units are worth maintaining with parts replacements like this.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Refrigerators

• Keep door seals clean and check for proper closure to maintain consistent temperatures
• Clean condenser coils every 6 months to prevent overworking the cooling system
• Don’t overfill freezer compartments as this restricts airflow and affects temperature sensors
