If a Whirlpool refrigerator isn’t cooling, there are often common part malfunctions that cause the problem. Some of the breakdown are simple to fix and you can do them personally. We’ll discuss each possibility to help determine if a repair is necessary. The condenser fan motor draws air through the condenser coils and over the compressor. If the condenser fan motor is not working properly, the refrigerator won’t cool properly. To determine if the fan motor is defective, first check the fan blade for obstructions. Next, try turning the fan motor blade by hand. If the blade does not spin freely, replace the condenser fan motor. If no obstructions are present and the fan blade spins freely, use a multimeter to test the fan motor for continuity. If the condenser fan motor does not have continuity, replace it. The second most common cause for a Whirlpool refrigerator not cool is a defective door seal. If the door seal is loose or damaged, your fridge won’t cool properly. The door seal ensures the cold air inside the refrigerator is locked inside rather than leaking into your kitchen. Check the door seal for damage, gaps, or other defects. If you don’t have a tight door seal, replace it. Then, check your temperature setting. Refer to your owner’s manual for the optimal temperature setting for your particular model. When part of your refrigerator is broken, address the issue quickly, so it doesn’t continue to break down and potentially cause other, more expensive issues. You can avoid shelling out the costs of future refrigerator repairs with a home warranty. At Prime Appliance Repair Team, we recommend a regular check for proper work of your refrigerator.
