I am not sure if you are still monitoring this video or not, but does this relay also send power to the heating element? I ran test 6 and get Bimetal closed, but it still doesn't defrost and I get no power to the wires going to the heating element. One thing was to test wattage with a kilowatt meter during the defrost and get 345w but I only get around 14 watts during the defrost cycle. It seems like the heater is just not getting power to from the power supply.

I read all the comments, but I haven’t hear anyone complaining to whirlpool for using cheap relays on their refrigerators, whirlpool use to be the best appliance manufacturers, that’s the reason I have a non electronic whirlpool refrigerator. All that technology is prone to more issues, and I would like to add something, when you test a defrost thermostat it might check ok , but when the heater come on , it might not resist the load and open prematurely, so every time I have a defrost issue I replace the defrost thermostat

The test for the defrost sensor should change from 02 when hot to 01 when frozen . 02 doesn’t necessarily mean the board is faulty.

Man, thanks so much to you and Stephen Rhine for this. I had tested my thermostat and heater and came to the same conclusion of a bad board, then ran across Stephens article. I was having a hard time de-soldering the relays and came across this video. I took your suggestion and ordered some Chipquik and it worked like a charm. Now I'm up and running with nothing out of pocket, waiting for my relays from China to get the lights back. Thanks to both of you for saving me at least $600 !

Great Post.. Fixed my Whirlpool also but we had the exact model number..The US equivalent of the relay in the video is G5Q-14-DC12... I bought them through Mouser Electronics part number 653-G5Q-14-DC12 and received them within 2 days. So you dont have to wait on part to come from China... Installed part and all is good. Thanks for the video.

I also appreciate this! I just (erroneously ) replaced my evaporator fan motor, foolishly thinking the noise it was making was bad bearings in the motor. Finding that big ice buildup growing into the blades clued me that my problems weren't over. I should have suspected the heater, as that is usually the problem on fridges. After this, I went into the diagnostic mode, #6, (for the heater) and it came up with error code 03, which I believe is a Short. This is not indicated on the Tech Sheet, but on other items 03 is a short, hope this is a correct assumption. So I just ordered a Heater, #WP12729128 so when it gets frozen up again, I will have the heater ready to go.

great video and explanation! Didn't you have to reprogramm the board ?

I would greatly appreciate it if you give me some advice on this. I am doing the job tomorrow and asking all around for some information on what to do. Thanks in advance, Ramon Perera, Miami

I have a Whirlpool but different model WRT318FMDM00. I do have a defrost issue where evaporator coils are freezing up. Both fan and the thermistor are good. If I go to diagnostics, and turn on the heater mode (manual defrost mode)... the coil is heating up. Is the relay good in that case? I don't believe these models come with a timer. What else can I look into?
@cvr24 Жыл бұрын
I have a fridge with the exact same issue. This model does not have a mechanical timer. The timer is solid state on the mainboard and, if it goes bad, there is no fix other than complete board replacement from what I can discern.
@hbasavar Жыл бұрын
@@cvr24 Thank you for your response. I will stop looking for that timer component :). I concur with. your opinion except it might be possible to just replace only the component that is bad on the board ... just as in this youtube video. Only we need to know what the component is responsible there. I will try to remove the board and see for any obvious signs of it. In the mean time, I am resorting to a manual defrost.... which is working fine at the moment.

Thanks to this video and the article linked I was able to fix my fridge with this same issue. Grateful to have only spent like $30 instead of $700. One tip I picked up is that you can skip cutting the thermostat out to test it. If you run diagnostic test 6 and it’s an 02 while the freezer is frozen, the next step is to use a continuity tester on the main board as described in the linked article. This will show the true state of the thermostat, and if they disagree, my understanding is that your relay is bad. Which is a much quicker diagnostic than cutting out wires or even opening the back of the freezer. Also, follow the guidance and get chipQuick and a solder sucker. It worked a charm and seems necessary. Wish I could buy OP a beer.
@JustinBrewerME2 жыл бұрын
Had replaced the big relay a couple of months ago to get my fridge cooling again but then every 2-3 weeks it kept freezing up like you described. Had no idea about the diagnostic mode. Test 6 failed and I had another relay from the previous repair kit I had bought. Swapped it out and test 6 passed. I was almost about to buy a new fridge. I think you just saved me a lot of money. Thank you!

So much misinformation in the comments, don’t blame the tuner, if the tune had problem it will cause problem as soon as you load the tune onto the car, in the video we don’t have any of that information, is more likely because the owner didn’t install an oil catch can and it leads to lowering octane and spark knock, and we don’t have any information on his maintenance history, so don’t be so quick to judge the tuner, certainly don’t take serious advice from keyboard tuners on KZbin comment section, ask a local reputable shop.

Never use a canned tune, NEVER!!!!! Get a tune done on a dyno, in the area you live in. Make sure the hood is closed during the tune too, because to many idiots tune on the dyno with hood open and that's not the proper why to do it, not to mention letting all the natural heat build up escape with the hood open. You don't drive with the hood open, why tune/dyno that way?... Hood open dyno tubes are good for one thing: sitting in a parking lot at a gathering with "the hood open".... Proper dyno tunes use your local weather and conditions, whereas mail-order does not. Very dangerous. Even doing live drive tube files and emailing back and forth is bad!!!! It's just not safe. Also, with a hood open on the dyno, this is how tuners show power gains with aftermarket CAI's, which is total bull. Aftermarket CAI's are fairly useless on 90% of vehicles. Most canned mail order tunes are done at odd cities, with far different weather, climate and elevation than the customers location, and when you put a tune on from a very different area, the ECU is going to try to compensate naturally and then you have a recipe for KABOOM.
