Hi,

I have a Whirlpool refrigerator (ED25TEXHW00) that seems to have an
issue with maintaining a cool temperature. I can turn the dial on the
inside all the way to off and set it to a 3-4 value again and then the
motor kicks in and the fridge gets cold in a little while. When it
is cooling, it does not seem to have issues getting to a cold
temperature. The motor does kick on and off from time to time like it
should once it is cold, but at some point the motor turns off and does
not kick in again resulting in the inside gaining temperature again.

Is this something that can be fixed/replaced fairly easily? Also, are
the parts available in a Home Depot/Lowe's kind of store or do you
need to go to a dealer of some sort.

Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like a problem with the thermostat, which should be fairly easy
and not too expensive to replace. You have to get refrigeator parts
from an appiance repair type store, either local or online.

Parts for my Whirlpool freezer (starter/capacitor) are branded/made by
"Electrolux" (sp). Got them from a local appliance parts store and
they where in stock.

Most likely... dirty condenser, or sitting in a spot that limits air
flow across the condenser. check bottom of refrig for a folded up
condenser and fan, looks like a crushed bird cage.... vacuum it out
completely.

it its in the back of the frig do the same. could also be a bad fan
on top of that.
these need cleaning once a year.. 5 years and they are toast.


it this is not the problem its any of the following,,,, bad
thermostat, refrigerant leak, compressor worn out.

stat is the only worthwhile item to fix... do it yourself, a service
call will be more than the thing is worth most likely

***

re-reading your post...its a stat, but clean the condenser
regularly regardless
