my wife noticed temp getting wormer and ic melting.
light comes on when you open door so there is power to the frig.
just thought i would cover the simple stuff first and the doors are closed all the way.
this is the first time this has happened.
we have owned the frig. for about 5 years.
can you help?
First you need to check if the compressor is working properly. Remove the rear panel and look for a cylinder with bunch of copper lines going in and out. feel those copper lines one of them should be warm and the other should be cold. Also you should hear the compressor working (pretty noisy) when the temperature in the freezer is not cold enough. If the lines are about same temperature and the compressor does not seem to work, the first place to check is the starter relay. Often the relay breaks. The part is WHIRLPOOL 2188830 2220475 RELAY. I found one on ebay.
Good luck

- Just want to make a correction to my answer above. The part number above is only for the Whirlpool fridge model I have. You need to find out your make/model number and get the appropriate part.

Whirlpool side by side fridge and freezer 2000+ model mint conditon. problem is freezer 5 in parts and 25 other parts. Fridge 45-50. Dials sent up to high to keep cool. Took all out as we have a seperate freezer and seperate fridge. What do you think would be the problem. I thought maybe too much was getting jammed in the freezer a s cool goes from freezer to fridge. Took some stuff out of freezer last night thawed out juices and completely frozen other stuff. Temp in fridge went down to 38 degrees. Problem is all coils are not on outside of fridge one is underneath and looks dirty but really don't want to take apart. Machine is completely off and been cleaned. Is self defrosting. Your take as to the specific problem that caused the freezer juices to melt completely and the fridg to be fairly warm?

Let's start over...I'm getting advice for a newer unit and my unit is a TEN-year-old Whirlpool side-by-side ice/water in door which will not cool or freeze. I'm unemployed and all alone and cannot afford to hire someone to come out and fix this thing. It's been shut off for 4.5 years and I'm really longing to get back to normal. Getting tired of using a 3.5 cubic ft. refrigerator and not having a freezer!!!!!!!! Please help me! Thank you! Emily from Ohio When you are telling me front panel, rear panel, please tell me if your are talking about the freezer or refrigerator section. Model ED25PEXHT00 Thank you!
