It's better to post a full model number. You left finish and feature codes off the end.
I'm using.... WRF535SWHZ00
Service manuals are not usually free.
You can buy them from $9.95 - $19.95 on a digital download.
I have many tech sheets for appliances. Your fridge has one included within it. It'll be folded in a little plastic bag. It can be found under the front kickplate or by the compressor. Tech sheets have basic diagnostic information on them and are usually quite helpful.
You can use the PUB W10517966. I left a pdf copy below.
What is the problem you need help with ?
Pull the fridge away from the wall. Unplug.
Remove cardboard "cover" if present....carefully. They get brittle with age.
You'll see the condenser coils and the fan. Vacuum as much dust as you can from the coils and fan. Try not to bend the fins on the condenser. Sometimes an extension wand makes the job easier.
The icemaker will have a short lead and plug on it. Just squeeze the two ends and unplug it.
Hey all
So one day my wife called and said the deep freeze died. So I came home and pulled out the start relay. It was clearly broken (rattle sound) so I bought a new one plugged in back in and the compressor kicked on.
So I left it on and went about my day. About 4 hours later I checked in on it and the freezer wasn’t even cool.
So I read that the thermostat could go bad. Replaced it and the exact same problem. Compressor ran, got pretty warm, but never got cool.
So today I checked the compressor itself.m using a multimeter over the three pins. Added the two numbers and equaled the 3rd. So that should mean the compressor is good.
My only next thought is to get a supco 3 in 1 and try that?? I’m really at a loss. I don’t want to toss the deep freeze since it seems the compressor is good.
Any ideas? I have read about checking the Evap fan or the coils, but I am not even sure I can get into them in this type of freezer. Read More
I have a Whirlpool refrigerator model WRT318FZDW09 with an icemaker that is having an issue.
The icemaker is making ice and dispensing it, but the collection bin below is frozen into a solid piece of ice at the bottom. The new ice on top is loose initially but after a while become part of the frozen piece. Here are some pictures of what is happening.

This is very difficult to diagnose in "real time" but my thinking is this is caused by some excess water present at the bottom of the collection bin, then it gets frozen together with the new ice. I can think of three scenerios causing this.
(1) Whatever is regulating the amount of water to fill an ice tray is acting up and OVERfilling. So the water fills the ice tray above to the top, then the excess water spills into the collection bin, and gets frozen solid at the bottom.
(2) There is too much pressure from the water being dispensed into the ice tray/ The water is dispensed via a plastic nozzle in the rear of the freezer compartment, and the increased pressure causes the water to splash around, some into the ice tray, and some into the collection bin below.
(3) The icemaker makes the ice, dispenses into the collection bin. But there is a temperature fluctuation inside the freezer, that causes the ice inside the bin to melt partially and refreezes later into a slab, mixed with newer ice.
Are there other possibilities? Here are some more pictures showing the icemaker's underside. I notice some ice forming on the back wall of the freezer. Is that normal?

Here are some pictures from another angle, showing the water nozzle.

Any idea how best to troubleshoot?
Is there a way to reset the icemaker?
Is there a way to force the IM to cycle itself so I can observe the water filling the ice tray when it happens?
The dispensing valve/regulator is it in the back of the freezer or on the back of the refrigerator?
Thanks in advance!Read More
