To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is my Whirlpool Refrigerator freezer too cold?
If your Whirlpool Refrigerator freezer is too cold, it could be because the freezer temperature control knob is set too cold. In this case, adjust the freezer temperature control knob. Alternatively, the freezer temperature control might be out of calibration, so calibrate the freezer temperature control.
What to do if my Whirlpool 1997 F is too warm?
If your Whirlpool Refrigerator is too warm, there are several potential causes. The refrigerator setting might be too warm, so adjust it to a colder temperature. The damper may not be opening; inspect it for proper operation. The freezer control could be set too warm, so check its setting. Additionally, a blocked supply or return air duct could be the issue; clear any blockage in these ducts. Heavy usage or a high ambient temperature can also contribute, so reduce heavy usage or improve ambient conditions.
Why is my Whirlpool 1997 F running long or continuously?
Your Whirlpool Refrigerator might be running long or continuously due to heavy usage and/or high ambient temperature, so reduce heavy usage or improve ambient conditions. Inadequate condenser air flow could also be a factor; ensure proper condenser air flow. If the freezer temperature is set too cold, adjust the freezer temperature setting. Other potential causes include a freezer temperature control out of calibration (calibrate the freezer temperature control), a freezer temperature control relay frozen closed (inspect and repair the relay), or a loss of refrigerant or restriction (check for refrigerant leaks or restrictions).
Why is my Whirlpool 1997 F Refrigerator too cold?
If your Whirlpool Refrigerator is too cold, the refrigerator damper control knob may be set too cold; adjust the refrigerator damper control knob. Another possible cause is the refrigerator damper control not closing; inspect the refrigerator damper control. The freezer temperature control knob could also be set too cold, so set it to a warmer setting. Restricted condenser air (ensure that the condenser air is not restricted), a refrigerant shortage or restriction (check for refrigerant leaks or restrictions), or an overcharge (consult a technician to address the refrigerant overcharge) might also be the cause.
Why does my Whirlpool Refrigerator have a long off cycle and is too warm at the start?
If your Whirlpool Refrigerator has a long off cycle and is too warm at the start, it could be due to a low ambient temperature; improve ambient temperature conditions. The freezer temperature control knob may be set too warm, so adjust the freezer temperature control knob. It's also possible that the freezer temperature control is out of calibration; calibrate the freezer temperature control.
What causes condensation on the exterior of my Whirlpool 1997 F Refrigerator?
Condensation on the exterior of your Whirlpool Refrigerator can be caused by several factors. High humidity during installation can lead to condensation, so ensure proper conditions for installation. If the freezer control is set too cold, adjust the freezer control setting. A freezer control out of calibration (calibrate the freezer control), a poor door gasket seal (check and repair the door gasket seal), or an insulation void (inspect and repair any insulation issues) could also be responsible.
Why is my Whirlpool Refrigerator freezer warm and the compressor is off?
If your Whirlpool Refrigerator's freezer is warm and the compressor is off, it could be due to a defective temperature control or a setting that's too warm; check the temperature control setting. It might also be caused by a defrost control stalled in defrost mode (defective), so check the defrost control. Other possible causes include a defective compressor (consult a technician to check the compressor) or a defective overload and/or relay (inspect the overload and relay).
Why does my Whirlpool 1997 F Refrigerator have a short off cycle?
If your Whirlpool Refrigerator has a short off cycle, it may be due to high ambient temperature and/or heavy usage. Reduce heavy usage or improve ambient conditions. Also, the freezer control knob could be set too cold; adjust the freezer control knob. The freezer control might be out of calibration, so calibrate the freezer control. Other potential causes include the light being on constantly (inspect the light for possible issues) or a poor door seal (check and repair the door seal).
Why does my Whirlpool 1997 F have a short run cycle?
If your Whirlpool Refrigerator has a short run cycle, it could be due to low ambient temperature and/or light usage. Improve ambient temperature or reduce usage. It's also possible that the freezer temperature control setting is too warm or the control is out of calibration; adjust and calibrate the control.
Why is my Whirlpool 1997 F over producing ice?
If your Whirlpool Refrigerator is over producing ice, it could be because the bail shut-off arm is not in the actuator; ensure the bail shut-off arm is properly positioned. Other potential causes include a misformed bail shut-off arm (replace the misformed bail shut-off arm), a shut-off lever broken or bypassing the vertical cam (repair or replace the shut-off lever), or a broken module actuator (replace the broken module actuator).
