Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair – LOUISVILLE, OH (WRS325SDHW04)

We recently completed a refrigerator repair on S Chapel St in Louisville, OH. The customer reported their ice maker not producing ice, though water still dispensed normally. Our diagnosis revealed elevated compressor temperatures suggesting a potential sealed system issue.

The Problem

The customer contacted us about their ice maker not producing ice. Water still dispensed normally from the unit. They had recently replaced the water filter approximately 3-4 days before the service call.

Diagnosis

During our inspection, we found the unit sporadically dumping ice. Compressor temperature measured 120 degrees with liquid refrigerant leaving the compressor at 100 degrees — both readings significantly elevated. The back wall of the freezer registered around 5 to 10 degrees, while food in the freezer compartment was measuring 15 to 20 degrees. These temperature readings indicate we’re verging on a sealed system issue.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts replaced
• Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation of cooling system temperatures
• Result: Identified potential sealed system problem requiring further evaluation

Is It Worth Repairing?

Sealed system issues on Whirlpool refrigerators can be costly repairs, often involving compressor or refrigerant line work. On a unit this age, the repair cost versus replacement value needs careful consideration, especially if the cooling performance continues to decline.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean — dirty coils force the compressor to work harder and run hotter
• Ensure proper airflow around the unit with adequate clearance on all sides
• Replace water filters regularly but avoid over-tightening during installation
