Whirlpool Refrigerator: WRX986SIHZ00 no lights, open door alert, crisper drawer functions off

Sat, 16 May 2026 08:41:07 -0700

Hey everyone, I have a Whirlpool WRX986SIHZ00 ******with French doors, pull out crisper drawer and freezer drawer. When I open any door, none of the lights turn on. The main display shows that a door is open and the door alarm sounds. The crisper drawer has a setting selector, that no longer lights up or works. I have a feeling it has something to do with the crisper drawer but not sure which part to replace.

I have already checked the lights and door switches in the main section of the fridge. I can not find a door switch in the crisper drawer.

Any help to identify which part is broken would be greatly appreciated!

=== ===

Works after disconnecting the pantry door cable

Thanks to @jayeff I was able to identify this part as malfunctioning. It is the control board on the pantry drawer.

Refrigerator: Ice maker only will do crushed ice, not cubed

Thu, 14 May 2026 20:00:55 -0700

My fridge is 2-3 years old, one day it quit doing cubed ice. Regardless of setting it only does crushed. I’ve messed with all the settings, Cubed is definitely chosen as the option

Where is the tech sheet hidden on My GE Profile Refrigerator - PYE22KMKEES?

This is the french door, freezer on the bottom kind with no kick plate. I can’t find it in either access panel in back. I haven’t taken off the top plastic trim to see if it’s under there yet.

If anybody is curious, the sheet can be found on the iFixit.com website, mine was document 31-51932 [Edited: thank you jayeff] covering:

Whirlpool Refrigerator: Is my freezer temperature too unstable

Mon, 11 May 2026 17:11:59 -0700

I bought a new Whirlpool side by side refrigerator freezer. I noticed quickly that ice cream was soft and I put a thermometer data logger in the freezer and found the temp was cycling between about +5 and 25 F and averaging about 13 F (measured with door closed continually over ~ 20 hours). After about 5 visits from the Whirlpool refrigerator technician they concluded it was unrepairable and replaced it with a new unit. However the freezer on the new unit also seems to fluctuate a lot in temperature. I don't store a lot of food in the freezer, and the new unit cycles between -3 and +20 F every 90 minutes and averages about 10 F. I filled the freezer with pans of water to test it under "full" conditions. This helped somewhat, but it still cycles from about -4 to +12 F every 90 minutes and averages about 3.7 F. I called it in under warranty again and the technician's initial response was "they are all like this nowadays," which I did not accept and he is attempting further "repairs" My question - is this safe and acceptable performance for a freezer (especially a brand new one)? What is a reasonable average safe temp range and fluctuation with door closed for a properly functioning freezer?

GE Profile Refrigerator PFSS9PKY: Refrigerator Will not dispense water after replacing filter.

Sun, 10 May 2026 12:19:02 -0700

After replacing the filter on a GE Profile PFSS9PKY French Door water would not dispense. I put the old filter on and it worked fine. I have tried the Ge brand as well as another brand filter and had the same result. I followed the directions for filling the filter first with out success. The fridge would make a hammering noise only with the new filter which would then stop however no water would come out or sometimes very little water would come out at first then nothing. After a couple months with the old filter I tried again with the new filter and now water will not come out with either the old or new filter.

Electrolux Refrigerator: How to replace light PCB on Electrolux refridgerator?

Sat, 09 May 2026 07:13:40 -0700

Hi everyone, I have Electrolux fridge, light of which has started flickering, so I decided I’m going to try to replace it. The model is LRC4DE35W and product number is 925070450-02.

Now, this model does not have the actual light bulb, but PCB containing three LEDs. I ordered replacement part but getting the cover off is difficult. See below how the backplate of the cover looks like. I tried to insert flathead into that small gap, twist it, but it’s in hard place (against back wall of fridge). I’m not sure if I understand how it’s supposed to come off. Any tips?

Kenmore Refrigerator: Kenmore Elite 795.72022.110 not cooling

Fri, 08 May 2026 20:26:30 -0700

I've cleaned coils, it has the linear lg compressor. I checked resistance and looks good, I'm thinking my control board is bad but not certain. When I press the test button I hear the beeps, the fans run the displays light up on front panel, the second press I hear the double beeps, led does not blink at all. I removed the connector at bottom of panel, con 201 and connected my meter after restarting and pressing test button it doesn't get over 80vac. One video I viewed on youtube a guy said I should see 200vac and his test he wasn't seeing over 110-112vac. Could my board be bad? We had a power outage a few days ago and it wasn't long after that we noticed water leaking from under the fridge.

KitchenAid Refrigerator: KitchenAid KSSC42QVC fan failed wont turn on- all lights flash & clik

Mon, 04 May 2026 18:24:23 -0700

Problem description:
Issue Summary:My refrigerator is failing to power on and is making a repetitive, rapid clicking sound coming from the control board area at the top of the unit. Prior to this, the internal cooling fan failed and was replaced. The unit ran overnight and stabilized temperatures, but the "High Temp" light was flashing. I turned the unit off to attempt a reset, and it has not powered back on since; it only clicks.Diagnostic Findings:Main Control Board: I have inspected the boards at the top of the unit. On the Power/Relay Board (marked GREC-010 / 2321728C), there is visible heat damage/burn marks on chip D10, located between a capacitor and the transformer (XTVE 16-01).Compressor: The compressor (Embraco VEGZ 7H) was cooling and making ice successfully until the manual shut-off, suggesting the compressor and inverter are likely healthy.Clicking: The clicking is specifically coming from the relays on the power board during the boot-up attempt.Request:Can you confirm if Part #WP2318054 is the correct official replacement for my specific two-board setup? Does this part come as a consolidated kit that replaces both the "brain" board and the damaged power board?

Frigidaire Refrigerator: Frigidaire Ice Maker Feed Tube Freezing

Sun, 03 May 2026 01:27:07 -0700

I have a Frigidaire Gallery (Model: FGHB2866PFJA) with the ice maker in cabinet on the LH side. At some point in the past, it stopped making ice. Took it apart, found that the entire defrost assembly was iced over. Some blow dryer work later, started working properly.

Recently it stopped making ice again. Took it back apart, Defrost area was not frozen over. Some slight frost on the condenser tubes, but nothing else. Melted it all, also blew the air onto the feed line port (where it comes into cabinet). This resolved the issue for a couple days.

No ice again, did some checking and found that the water inlet assembly could be going out, letting water drip, which was freezing up. Replaced this, and at same time cleaned all the dust off the coils and such. Also replaced both the filter in basement (in line with feed) and the one in fridge. This worked for several weeks, but yesterday no ice again.

I'm going to check for iced over again, but where else should I look?

We noticed our water from the refrigerator dispensing slowly then our ice make stopped working. We didn’t change the filter for a bit so we changed that and the water pressure from the dispenser is fixed but our ice machine is still not working. We’ve tried turning it on and off and made sure the line wasn’t frozen.

Frigidaire Refrigerator FFHB2740P A: Return Air Vents Icing Up

For the second time this year, the return air vents in our fridge have iced over, preventing the freezer from cooling the fridge properly. Picture is attached.

The first time this happened, we assumed it was caused by our leaving the door open; however, I don't think we have left it open this time. Any advice on what may be causing this and how we could prevent it? It happened in ~3 months this time.
