I have the whirlpool ACE184XD1, I am wanting to replace it but not wanting to change out the casing going through my wall. Can you tell me what unit I can change it out with?

Shorted to ground, repairs out weigh the cost to replace.

I would unplug the unit from the wall, wait 10 minutes, and then plug it back in. If that does not help you will need to call Whirlpool. Your unit may still be under warranty. If not, they may be able to tell you what the problem most likely is. I would check your options to check the cost of repairing vs. replacing the unit. Also, call around and get several estimates.

Hello,

here is the fault code as found in my (online)service manual for that brand;

F-2 E-6 Cancel drive line open

Solution;
1. Check keypad connector for firm connection (keypad connects to control board).
2. Press CANCEL. If error code returns after 60 seconds, replace keypad (also called touch pad or membrane switch). Some models incorporate keypad in to control board as one unit. In this case, replace control board (also called ERC or clock)

18,000 BTU's

If your fan is working this is a good thing. So we know we have good power to the unit.
Your going to need to remove the cover from the unit, remove several screws to get access.
Make sure power is off and where the compressor is, on top remove the cover where the power connects inside and make sure there is no wires burnt, if all is well, move onto the capacitor.
Its usually the cause of compressor failure. Write down where the wires are located on the capacitor (read the top of capasitor) and take the capacitor to a local appliance supplier and have them test it and if bad then purchase a new one and replace in your unit.
Also make sure to verify no wires are burnt in the unit or melted together, and it never hurts to clean it while you have it out.


Good Luck!

take the trim peices off. take the screws that hold it to the wall out slidee unit out a little to remove the 2 screws from the consol lift the consol up and off. make sure that you have turned the power off inside the unit you will see a tech sheet that will tell you what that error code means. let me know how it goes the tech sheet is usually on the left side.

the run capacitor for the compressor may be shorted out or could be a bad compressor .You will need a repair person to repl the compressor but you could change a capacitor if technically inclined.

Is the interior flaking the only problem with it?

It can be sanded smooth and clean and dried thoroughly, then you can apply some high-temperature appliance paint, available from places like Wal-Mart, Lowe's or Builder's Square.

Otherwise, if you want to replace it, I would suggest contacting Jenn-Air Customer Care here and telling them your model number.

They can probably give you the model number of a new "drop-in" replacement.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

call whirlpool or go to local bath and kitchen shop or local plumbing store. they should be able to give a price and tell you how to change all of the items.

Look at one of the several similar units you have.
