STOP! Don't worry about the other responses- it is SO simple to fix. You just press the two right two buttons (lock and measured fill) at the same time and hold for 3 seconds. That's it!!

SOURCE: whirlpool gold refridgerator light not working and is making funny noise

Had the identical symptoms with my Whirlpool Gold GS6SHEXNB00 side-by-side refrigerator. Had a technician come on site, indicated it was the "circuit board/ timer" (Whirlpool part # 1394052). Board is accessible from behind fridge (lower left side in a white plastic housing to left of compressor).

Swapped the board out (noticed a scorched circuit on the old circuit board). Lightbulbs now work, temperature readouts also good to go.

SOURCE: Whirlpool refrigerator w/ top freeezer

It has a plugged defrost drain. You may need to defrost for 24 hours with unit unplugged and doors open. UNPLUG FIRST!! f still leaks, you need to remove floor of freezer, then the back wall of freezer. Remove ice. At center rear under coils is the drain hole that is plugged up. Use hair dryer to melt ice. Pour hot water in this area to uncover drain. With hot water in area, you can put a 1/4 diam. hose or copper pipe in drain and blow into it while pressing down. It will slowly go through ice, clearing drain.

SOURCE: whirlpool double door fridge side is not cooling,

sounds like a defrost problem. check to see if there is any frost buildup in the back wall of the freezer. if so, it is not defrosting like it should.

  • possible causes:
  1. bad defrost timer
  2. bad defrost heater (in freezer)
  3. bad thermo switch in freezer

Tom, I would start with the overload and relay that is on the compressor, If it is white it's a good possibility that it has failed. The fact that both sides are not cooling leaves me to believe the compressor is not operating. Take the overload and relay off. If they are both contained in a white cover shake it. If it rattles, I believe that is your problem. Let me know what you find...Catriver.

SOURCE: Whirlpool Fridge and Freezer quit cooling properly at the same time.

You likely have a defrost system problem.....call a service company to look at it.

How do I get my light on in the French 3door refrigerator?

Hi,

Please look for a switch on the inner sides of the fridge or outer portion of the fridge door. If the button still has not been located, please reference the table of contents in the fridge manual to help locate the button that switches the light on.

Thank you.

How to turn off cooling off light off. My child was leaning against the fridge for a while when stood up straight I saw the cooling off light was on.

Check your user manual, but for my whirlpool it says: If the buttons are inside the fridge, push the FAST COOL and MOISTURE CONTROL buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. Once cooling comes back on, your previous settings will reappear on the display. If the buttons are on the outside of the fridge (as mine are), push the FREEZER TEMP and FRIDGE TEMP buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. Same result as above. Hope that helps.

Frezer working fine but fridge not cooling

Mo, open the freezer door and look for the model tag. There should be a manufacture date on the tag. The product has a 2 year complete warranty, 5year parts and labor on the sealed system and 5-12 years parts only. The factory number is 800-222-7820 and maybe able to tell you when it was installed, They may walk you through a couple of items to tell you what was happening.
