Panel in middle is hot - Whirlpool 25.6 cu. ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator with In-Door-Ice Dispensing System

I think you should try the following:

1. turn off the power.
2. clean/vacuum the lint under and behind the fridge.
3. after a few hours, power on.
If this does not work, you will have to call a repairer unless it is under warranty.
good luck

iF there is a spot in the middle that feels overly hot on a Plasma or even LCD it may be a sign of something wrong with the panel itself--if something else let me know.

could be the screen is on the way out your best bet is to have it checked

Is the water from the espresso hot? If yes, then check the nozzles at the end of the steam wands. If no then make sure the middle switch is turned on. If the middle switch is turned on, then the hi-limit reset tripped and needs to be reset, remove top panel and find red reset switch and push in.

Hi,

This is an indication that the condenser is overheating. It could lead to problems if not addressed. I have put together some instructions on how to remedy this. Follow the link and let me know if it helps.

THIS IS A HEATER TO KEEP FROM CONDENSATION MAKE SURE COIL UNDER REF ARE CLEAN AND NO FROST ON THE BACK PANEL

There is a pipe with hot gas running through the middle wall to keep the gaskets dry but if itgets to hot probably the condenser coil behind the fridge is dirty ,unplugged it snd brush all the dust and dirt off .That willlower the temperature in the middle wall and it will cold better.

here is what you do. look on the passenger side front near the bottom of the radiator. there you will see the dccv or dual coolant control vavle. it will have your two heater hoses running to it and another hose from the radiator under it . once you have identified it , feel and look around it for any signs of leaking. barring any leaks, disconnect the connector, turn the ac/engine on and usining a tester , test for voltage on each of the three wires.if both outer wires have no current ( the middle wire yellow- will have current) then your problem is the control panel. if the control panel is not a navigation it is possible to easily repair it. replacing it can run from 600.00 to 1500.00 depending on who you goe to. oh by the way its still some data that you aint looked at. holla back if you need more help or a repair of the a/c control panel.

This is normal. There is a heater in this panel to stop condensation sweating between the doors.
