Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair – North Canton, OH (ED5PVEXVS00)

A North Canton homeowner called when their Whirlpool refrigerator stopped cooling completely. The refrigerator not getting cold no more left them scrambling to save groceries and find a quick solution.

The Problem

The customer reported their refrigerator not getting cold no more. The unit had lost all cooling capacity, putting their food storage at risk.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed a failed cold control thermostat that was no longer regulating the cooling cycle properly. Additionally, the start relay had malfunctioned, preventing the compressor from starting reliably. These two failures combined to shut down the refrigerator’s cooling system entirely.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP2198202 — cold control thermostat, URCO410 — run capacitor
• Work performed: Replaced the cold control thermostat and start relay
• Result: Refrigerator restored to proper cooling temperatures

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator represents a solid mid-range appliance line. Control and relay replacements are common maintenance items that typically provide years of additional service life. Given Whirlpool’s reputation for durability and the reasonable cost of these components, this repair made good financial sense.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Refrigerators

• Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to prevent compressor strain and relay failures
• Check door seals regularly and replace if cracked to maintain proper temperature control
• Keep the refrigerator level to ensure proper operation of the cooling system components
