Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (WRS325FDAB02)

A Whirlpool refrigerator in Canton was experiencing strobing lights inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The customer reported that leaving the refrigerator door open long enough would stop the strobing and turn the light on constant. Our diagnosis revealed failed LED components requiring complete assembly replacement.

The Problem

The customer called about strobing lights inside refrigerator and freezer. If I leave the refrigerator door open long enough, the strobing stops and the light turns on constant.

Diagnosis

The fresh food LED assembly was failing, causing the erratic strobing behavior. The extended door-open time allowed the faulty LED components to stabilize temporarily, explaining why the strobing would stop with prolonged exposure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10515058 — fresh food LED assembly, WPW10300022 — icemaker
• Work performed: Replaced the fresh food LED assembly and the icemaker
• Result: Issue is resolved

Is It Worth Repairing?

This 2012 Whirlpool side-by-side is now over 10 years old, but LED assembly failures are relatively inexpensive fixes that can extend the appliance’s life significantly. Whirlpool refrigerators from this era are generally reliable units worth repairing when the repair cost is reasonable compared to replacement.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Refrigerators

• Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to prevent compressor strain and extend LED component life
• Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain proper water flow to the icemaker
• Keep door seals clean and check for proper closure to prevent temperature fluctuations that stress electrical components
