Hi,
My whirlpool side by side freezer is having intermittent cooling issue. Every time I unplug and restart, it works fine for 8-10 hours. I can hear compressor running and all the fans runs fine. Everything freezes nicely inside the freezer. After about 8-10 hours, i don’t hear compressor running and sometimes evaporator fan also shuts down. In most cases, evaporator fan keep blowing air and freezer temp reaches around 30-35F. I see lot of frost inside the freezer. If I leave it, sometimes everything refreezes again. after few hours.
I had technician come over yesterday and he cleaned the condenser coils. He didn’t see any frost on the evaporator coils. I left fridge running since yesterday and started to see same issue again today with frost inside freezer and temperature rising.
Technician suggested sealed system repair or re-charging refrigerant gas., which are both very costly repairs. Can you please help me understand why freezer is cooling intermittently?
Thanks for help,
Nitesh
