Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair – North Canton, OH (WRX988SIBM00)

A customer in North Canton called about their Whirlpool refrigerator that wasn’t staying cold in the fresh food section. The freezer was still cold and working like normal, and the water and ice maker both worked normally. We found a corroded plug in the evaporator cover that was no longer making a proper connection.

The Problem

The refrigerator portion no longer stayed cold. The freezer was still cold and working like normal, and the water and ice maker both worked normally.

Diagnosis

A plug in the evaporator cover had become corroded and was no longer making a proper connection. This electrical connection issue prevented the refrigerator section from cooling while leaving the freezer unaffected.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts required
• Work performed: Repaired the corroded connections in the evaporator cover
• Result: The refrigerator is operating correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

This 2019 Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator is still relatively new and built on a proven platform. Connection repairs like this are typically very reliable once completed, and this model should provide many more years of service. This was definitely worth repairing rather than replacing.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Refrigerators

• Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to prevent overheating and electrical stress on components
• Check door seals regularly and clean them with warm soapy water to maintain proper temperature
• Replace the water filter every 6 months to prevent clogs that can stress the ice maker system
