MY FREEZERS FINE. BUT NO AIR IS COMING OUT OF THE FRIDGE, THE SHELVES ARE COOL ALTHOUGH
Whilpool uses a fan at the back of the freezer to circulate air. If it burns out, the fridge will still cool, but not as well.
However, these don't usually burn out. What usually happens is that ice builds up and prevents air from circulating. If that is the case then you probably need a new bimetal temperature sensor on your cooling coils. This sensor sits at the back of the freezer (behind the wall) and tells the fridge when to defrost. If it doesn't then the ice will plug up the vents and may even stop the fan from working. Hope this helps.
Hi William, Our Whirlpool Model is WRF989SDAM. We are having similar issue. The freezer works like a charm and the refrigerator is not working at all. The food is going bad. We are finding that ICE is building up near the Vegetable section of the fridge and it looks like it is blocking the cold air from the Freezer from circulating into the Fridge. Do you think this could still be the issue with Bimetal Temperature Sensor? The fridge stopped working almost two months ago. Any Help is much appreciated
Hi, Davuluri.
Some fridges use a timer for the defrost, but not so your model. It relies entirely on the temperature sensor. When it sences an ice build up it turns on the defrost cycle.
Oops! I just noticed that yours is the French doors model. Sorry, I'm not as familiar with this one. You might try someone who knows this model better than I do. Cheers.

SOURCE: Freezer works; fridge side doesn't
First thing to check is look and see if there is thick frost build up on the back lower panel inside the freezer? If not there must be a problem in the damper (vent). Let me know what you find so I can help.
SOURCE: freezer quit then noticed fridge side not cooling
the relay on your compressor is bad go behind you refrigerator and take off the the bottom panel the relay is on the left side of your compressor usually

The small cooling fan in the freezer compartment that sends chilled air to the food side is defective and needs replacement. Sometimes that are only frozen stuck.
When you receive advice from this website you have to understand that without the item in front of us, we are only able to provide "a best guess" as to what the problem might be based on you description of the defect. If you haven't described a clear and precise description of the defect you decrease the chances of an accurate reply. Thank you.
SOURCE: Hi i have a hotpoint mistral plus fridge freezer,
hi is this the frost free version ??? if it is which i think it is it could be a fault with temp module{frost free have electronic modules to control the system rather than a old fashioned bog standard thermostat inside the fridge} the fans should be controlled by the module in case of frost free models it could be the module which is playing up

The main board on the back of the unit has gone bad or in lockout. Try unplugging unit for about 30 seconds. Then plug it back in. If it doesn't start the board is bad. wr55x10942 at about 169.00. Hope this helps. Very common GE problem
