Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair – Salem, OH (WRB119WFBMOO)

We responded to a service call in Salem, OH for a Whirlpool refrigerator with a freezer not working. Our diagnosis revealed failed start and high limit relays that were preventing proper compressor operation.

The Problem

The customer reported their Whirlpool refrigerator’s freezer not working. The unit wasn’t maintaining proper freezing temperatures in the freezer compartment.

Diagnosis

Our inspection identified failed start relay and high limit relay components. These relays are critical for proper compressor startup and operation – when they fail, the compressor can’t run effectively to maintain freezing temperatures.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10448874 — start relay and high limit relay
• Work performed: Installed start relay, high limit relay
• Result: Symptoms are resolved, operation is normal

Is It Worth Repairing?

Whirlpool refrigerators are generally reliable appliances that respond well to relay replacements. This model represents solid mid-range construction, and relay failures are common wear items that are cost-effective to repair on units of this age range.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Refrigerators

• Keep coils clean and vacuum them every 6 months to reduce strain on the compressor and relay system
• Check door seals regularly – poor seals force the compressor to work harder, wearing relays faster
• Maintain proper clearance around the unit for ventilation to prevent overheating of electrical components
