Whirlpool Freezer: Whirlpool Upright Freezer will not turn on

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 06:41:20 -0700

I have a Whirlpool Upright Freezer, model WZF34X16DW00, when I plug it in, there is power, the light comes on but the freezer compressor or fan will not start. When I pick a temperature setting (There are three led light settings) it will stay solid on one setting for about a minute and then just flash continuously between the three settings.

Whirlpool Freezer: Why is my freezer not defrosting?

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 06:42:34 -0700

I have a standalone freezer (Whirlpool WSZ57L18DM) that is not defrosting.

- I checked the heating element and found that there is continuity.

- I also checked the thermistor. It had resistance of 2.3 kohms at room temperature and 5.7 kohms in ice water.

Do those readings sound normal? Is there anything else I should check? What part seems faulty?

Whirlpool Freezer EV205FXKQ: making seal around door tight so does not ice up

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 06:52:14 -0700

The seal is not tight and the upright freezer door does not seal right. It ices up badly and really shortly after defrosting it. repairmen say is more expensive to replace seal than to buy a new freezer. Surely that is not right. I have cleaned the seal really good but you can see where it is not sealing when the door is shut. How do I fix that? Some type of glue or silicone like you use in bathroom around tub?

Whirlpool Freezer: Why does water drip from the front of my icemaker?

Sat, 05 Oct 2024 06:24:24 -0700

After my icemaker fills with water, a few drops of water fall from the front of the icemaker. After a day or two the ice in the bin is frozen into a blob that is difficult to remove.
