We bought a used but newer model White

Some fridges have an internal fan that sounds like the compressor. If the compressor is running and the fridge is any good the inside will quickly cool and the condenser will become warm. If the outside gets warm but the inside doesn't get cool it is possible the defrost heater is permanently switched on because of a fault. If the compressor is running and nothing is happening the fridge has probably lost it's refrigerant gas. Moving fridges can upset them and it is unwise to switch on straight away - they really need to settle for at least 4 hours. Switching on too soon can damage a lubricant deprived compressor.

Will not cool refrigerator

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can
be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following.
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if FREEZER CONTROL is turned WARMER WHICH MAKES THE REF COLDER AND VICE-VERSA. SEE?
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
But is probably a common defrost problem The ice build up
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
Make sure back cover is on the fridge. Some take them off and throw them away.
make one out of cardboard if its gone, using the holes of the old one.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

I want to remove door handle to replace broken fixture.

I think you may have to remove the door gasket, if you look behind the gasket you will see the screws holding it and the inner door liner in place, both should be removed and you will then have access to the handle screws from within the door.

Removing internal freezer panel on Westinghouse wtb3400wc

Yes, manufacturers use hidden plastic clips for cheapness. It is likely that it need to go upwards and back to unlatch. There is not much available online except your question and associated questions and answers on similar models. What you could do is remove everything and use a hair dryer on high fan and medium heat to blow warm air behind the panel and melt the ice. https://www.google.com/search?q=westinghouse+wtb3400wc+remove+freezer+back ..

I have a Westinghouse RJ303k freezer and the defrost alarm light is coming on.

When the room temperature is extremely low a freezer can not disperse its produced heat. Good thing to know anyways.

BJ515V ... my fridge is freexing everythying my freezer is -18.. I have tried my frisge on 3 4 5 & 6 and no change the panel is on the front of the frisge

all freezing? I would suspect the defrost terminator? its realitively inexpensive and easy to fix? located in freezer behind the backwall and attached to the evaporator coils. if thats not it then ur defrost timer is bad? and of course ur heating element itself may have gone bad? all can be checked with a multi meter. u can try a trick to turn on ur defrost timer by placing a small philips screwdriver in the tiny slot under the timer where u see a whole and turn it clockwise slowly till u hear it click just one click not 2 then the defrost will come on and u should hear the fan and compressor go off?
