Frequently Asked Questions
•Where are the thermistors located in my Whirlpool refrigerator?
The thermistors are typically located inside the freezer and refrigerator compartments, often near the top or back wall. They might be clipped onto the evaporator coils or housed in a small plastic cover. Consult your refrigerator's service manual for precise location.
•How do I test the door switches with a multimeter?
Disconnect power to the refrigerator. Set your multimeter to the continuity setting. Place the probes on the terminals of the door switch. With the door open, you should have continuity (a beep or a reading close to zero ohms). With the door closed, you should have no continuity (an open circuit or a very high resistance reading).
•What is the part number for the control board in my Whirlpool refrigerator?
The control board part number is specific to your refrigerator model. Locate the model number of your refrigerator, usually found on a sticker inside the refrigerator compartment or on the back of the unit. Search online appliance parts retailers or Whirlpool's website using your model number to find the correct control board part number.
