WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF MY OLD Whirlpool fridge ED22PW ?

Fridges and Freezers are measured in cubic feet, dryers tend to be graded by weight of damp clothing in pounds.

Large Capacity Dryers - Whirlpool

Most standard dryers offer between 5.0 and 7.0 cubic feet of capacity. To help translate cubic footage into real-life laundry loads, consider that a 7.0 cu. ft.

Or you can calculate it.

Dryer Drum Capacity as per Manufacturer Specifications (in cubic feet):
The manufacturers began using cubic feet capacity numbers only recently. Previously, they used relative terms such as "Large" or "Extra Capacity" or laundry weight (e.g. "16 lbs per load") which did not take into account different fabric weight and volume. Even dryers available today do not have capacity written in the manual because the same manual can be used across multiple models. Once the model is no longer sold, the sales literature is discarded and capacity information often lost.

Analyzing dryers and their components, searching through old technical information and sales literature, and determining their capacity is a labor intensive and time-consuming task and we are far from finished. A small charge will help us continue our research.

Consider this: if you were to spend more than few minutes looking for dryer capacity on the internet, you would be earning LESS than minimum wage.

Calculate Electric Dryer Drum capacity
This is a geometric method to calculate drum capacity based on the cylinder volume formula. Unfortunately, the value could be as much as 25% off from the manufacturer stated capacity.

Why? Because a drum is not exactly a cylinder. The edge where bottom connected to the wall is not at 90 degree angle but smooth and rounded. The end of the drum is not clearly marked and the back is not always flat. Finally, there are baffles inside the drum used for tumbling clothes.

This method can be used as a crude estimate but we do not recommend using it for comparisson when shopping for a new dryer.

To determine your electric dryer drum capacity please take two simple measurements:



1. Use the ruler to measure the depth of the drum (indicated by the red line on the diagram)

2. Now find the distance across the drum, the diameter (the green line on the diagram). Do not confuse the size of the the door opening with the size of the drum. In this case make the measurements INSIDE the drum.

Solution: Dryer Drum Depth: in. Dryer Drum Diameter: in. Calculate Drum Capacity

Follow supply line back to the where is connects to house supply (under kitchen sink, in basement, where ever).There is usually a shutoff valve. If there isn't one, get one, turn off house main and install.

U OBVIOUSLY HAVE A CIRCULATION PROBLEM? If the air cannot circulate it remains in the freezer freezing faster and more then usual. you may have the air flow inlet blocked or it has shut closed and refuses to open and close properly. by the way the fan is blowing right cuz a failed fan will also do this?

HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR FILTER IT MAY NEED REPLACING

measure the inside width,depth and height,then multiply all three to give the cubic capacity....

It is possible that your refrigerator is not defrosting.  If the evaporator at the back of the fridge is ices over the fridge cannot circulate air, and will get warmer.  It could also be the evaporator fan, but more likely the defrost. You may have to take off the back panel to get to the evaporator coil.  If it is frozen over melt the ice, set the controls to center, and replace the defrost heater and defrost thermostat.

The freezer get the first crack at cooling and combination units have a fan and adjustable vents to steal some of the cooling capacity for the refrigerator. The vent are normally located in the back of the refrigerator compartment and with these, you can balance the cooling capacity between freezer and fridge. I recommend you swap your thermometer back and forth until you get the balance you want; typically the freezer should be at 5 degrees F or below and the fridge at 35-40 degrees F. Adjusting the control for temperature and having the vents set to supply the cold air you want in each compartment should give you the range you want in each.

The knocking noise when cuts off , is a compressor internal motor support spring , broken . This does not mean the compressor is bad , only noisy for the rest of the compressor life , but should be covered under the 5 yr warranty . The gurgling sound is the refrigerant being pumped thru the system . The buzzing could be from the compressor also . My suggestion , would be to call a factory warranty company , to see if they can replace the compressor under warranty .

It doesn't matter if a whirlpool or any other brand is new or not, if you don't use an inlet water filter the water will taste like **** and sediment will deposit and cause catastrophic ice maker and water dispenser failure.
