Water is leaking onto top shelf of refrigerator

This may not be the problem now but by the sound of the malfunctioning unit, it could be in the future. The start device on some models of refridgerator for maytag and whirlpool have been recalled. If your appliance was manufactured in the last 5-10 years you may be having an issue with this component. Mine recently caught on fire at this device that is located near the compressor. If you would like to be a part of the petition for a recall on this appliance contact me at [email protected]

Clogged Drain in the fridge causing ice buildup

Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} Your evaporator coils frost up in normal use and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.


Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help.
Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer.

Freezer isnt freezing yet ice is forming on the back wall

How to check everything
http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/appliance/refrigerator/refrigerator.php

If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezerare icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation ofcold air and eventually affect the freezer too.

check defrost timer, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. Inmost newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board.If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control.

You can turn the defrost timer till it clicksand everything shuts down. The heater should now come on. If it does, replacethe timer. If it doesn't, check the heater and defrost thermostat. Turn thetimer again till everything starts back up to end the defrost cycle.

Whirlpool refrigerator model WRB322DMBM0 1 with ice maker only. How do I find and change the ice maker filter

The Whirlpool WRB322DMBM01 refrigerator model typically does not have a dedicated water filter for the ice maker. Instead, it relies on an external water filtration system or an in-line water filter that may be installed in the water supply line connected to the refrigerator. Here's how you can check for and change the water filter for your ice maker: 1. **Locate the Water Supply Line**: Trace the water supply line that connects to the back of your refrigerator. The water supply line is usually a flexible plastic or metal tube that runs from the water source (such as a water pipe or faucet) to the refrigerator. 2. **Check for an In-Line Water Filter**: Look along the length of the water supply line for any inline water filters. These filters may be attached to the water line using compression fittings or push-to-connect fittings. They are typically cylindrical or rectangular in shape. 3. **Inspect the Filter**: If you find an in-line water filter, inspect it to determine its type and condition. Some filters have a label indicating the brand and model number, while others may have a date or indicator showing when it was last replaced. 4. **Replace the Filter (if Necessary)**: If the water filter is due for replacement or is visibly dirty or clogged, follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing it. This typically involves turning off the water supply, disconnecting the filter from the water line, and installing a new filter in its place. 5. **Flush the System**: After installing the new filter, flush the water system to remove any air or debris. Run water through the dispenser or activate the ice maker to purge the system of any trapped air or loose particles. 6. **Monitor Performance**: Monitor the performance of your ice maker and water dispenser to ensure that the new filter is functioning correctly. It may take a few cycles for the water system to fully adjust to the new filter. If you cannot find an in-line water filter connected to your refrigerator's water supply line, it's possible that your refrigerator does not have a built-in water filtration system for the ice maker. In this case, you may need to consider installing an external water filtration system to improve the quality of your ice and water.
