Make: whirlpool side by sideModel: ED25RFXFW01 Already Tried: it just quit two nights ago had to relace the protective device on the compressor, it started back up but the refrig side doesnt cool below 50 deg the freezer cools to about 10deg, I think the compressor is going bad but dont know how to check it. thank you very much for your help Bill
Is there ice build up on the back wall of the freezer?
no ice
There should be 2 lines coming out of the compressor are they hot?
yes they are both hot one is hotter than the other and the compressor is to hot to hold your hand on the top or sides of it
Ok it sounds like you have a bad compressor.If it is under five years old it is under warranty.
tom the unit is 10yrs is it worth replacing the compressor
To have it replaced you are looking around 600 dollars.
