Whirlpool Side by Side Refrigerator - Troubleshooting, Diagnostics, and Error Code System Entry

This is a brand new Whirlpool wrs321sdhz side-by-side refrigerator with a display panel. I want to show you how to enter the hidden diagnostic system that allows you to test and report many components of your refrigerator, as well as modes such as the forced defrost mode.
Later on in the video, I also have the diagnostic system for units without icemakers, including their Whirlpool refrigerator error codes using the interface inside the refrigerator cabinet, so this video covers all newer Whirlpool Side by Side refrigerators.

Appliance manufacturers put those fancy-looking features on new appliances that are confusing customers and making more troubles in future. I always think that putting an ice maker in a freezer is a silly idea, let alone Samsung putting an ice maker in their Fresh Food section. Manufacturers should pay for their silly designs that cause issues on customers' appliance.

[@dennisleahy3884]

Ben, thank you very much for presenting this video! It is the only video that I can find that shows the exact same controller panel that my (WRS555SIHZ06) Whirlpool uses. I went searching for a video that describes troubleshooting and repair of the dreaded cold freezer/warm refrigerator issue - and all the other videos show completely different components/technology in the thermister, defrost heater, and... there is evidently not a replaceable defrost timer device, but rather is handled by the ($300+ !) controller board. I'll run the diagnostic test you describe in this video, and try to force the defrost heater on, but if it doesn't work, do you outline further troubleshooting and repair for this style of components, in another video? Thanks again! Really appreciate that you took the time to present this info!

[@sugarmagnolia3217]

I’m having the same issue, was u able to fix yours?

[@4STEVEJOY34]

BAD FRIG! The fan blowing air from freezer to frig. Touches the internal flashing making this the LOUDEST FRIG I EVER HEARD. 3 Tech's would/could not fix it. I fixed it my self using a "Rubber 0-Ring" to offset the motor fan. Good video!

[@afqt80]

I have had 2 models of this fridge, an old one that was very quiet because the fan has a rubber o-ring. The new one is so loud I can hear it from the second floor of my apartment. I will try to put the rubber o-ring in the new one and see what happens.

[@scottdannen3615]

Thank you so much. This quickly helped to diagnose an electric issue where the defrost sensor was shorted on the condenser (which became obvious once I defrosted the whole thing). But your video also confirmed that was the reason the defroster wasn't coming on and helped confirm that the short was no longer detected once I relocated the wiring harness.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Nice! Glad it helped.

[@marcosamaral8239]

Was it also tripping your breaker?

[@scottdannen3615]

@@marcosamaral8239 No. I'm guessing that the contacts that were shorted didn't have the full 110V across it. When I touched the fins of the condenser, I did get a shock was it certainly wasn't a shock from the full line. That was when I took a step back, unplugged it from the wall and let it defrost enough for me to see where the connectors were not fully seated in the plastic connector housing.

[@transmitterguy478]

I live in central PA and my ice maker quit working, it was under warranty but since I bought it at Lowes no service tech around here would look at it. After 6 months of Whirlpool trying to find someone they sent me an email saying to find someone myself and send the bill to them. That was last December. My previous fridge was a really nice $3000 LG Kenmore unit, where they had bad compressors. I paid the Sears service tech to look at it and he verified the compressor was one of LGs junk units. The compressor was under warranty so I asked him If I should fix it and he said If it was his fridge he would not because the compressor part that goes bad disintegrates and gets all through the closed system and I could have problems later. So I junked it and bought the Whirlpool unit and I don't have ice. I'm so pissed I haven't wanted to troubleshoot using Bens's video yet, I just bring ice from the fridge downstairs and dump it into the Whirlpool upstairs. I guess I will try soon to see what's wrong with the ice maker. They have been making ice makers in fridges for over 50 years, why can't they make a model that works?🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@Wayne-nb8wz]

Fixed! Ran the defrost program and my icemaker works again. Thanks

[@angelreedransom4860]

So what did you do to fix your ice maker because mines stopped twice

I’ve watched the video, but how do you know if the defrost program is running. When I try nothing happens

[@ashleykumm5791]

Thank you for the helpful video. Especially the demo mode it is odd the manual doesn’t have any mention of that. I just had the fridge delivered five days ago and after waiting over 24 hours realized it’s not cooling at all. So I have been trying to trouble shoot it according to the manual with no luck so far. I was hoping demo mode was the issue but thanks to your video that’s one more thing I can rule out.

This model is a nightmare and needs to be recalled. Whirpool has had to pay millions in past class action lawsuits for similar issues and I think it time owners of this unit get one going. Based on the views on this video there is at least 126,000 of us!

This fridge is just bad. Bought this fridge brand new and the Ice it makes is too big for the chute on the door so it constantly gets backed up and needs cleared.

Very helpful found my evaporator thermistor was open bad connector and it was solid ice with inside fridge at 60F. Fixed that code and just started it back up will see if it's good now. How do you exit the test mode without unplugging the fridge? I want to check the sensor periodically for a few weeks and it would be best to just exit and not have to stretch behind the fridge to reach the plug. Few hours later edited fridge at 37F.

Hi Ben, I wrote you last year with a ice maker question on a brand new side by side WRS321SDHV08 ,now Bad news.... 3 weeks ago the defrost thermostat and heater failed. I've been living out of a cooler because the 3rd party co. that Lowes uses didnt stock the parts. Today the tech repaired it. I'm VERY upset that this $1600 unit broke down after just 53 weeks. So now I cant help notice that it runs constantly (repaired 12 hrs ago) but only shuts down about every 1/2 hr for 2 mins and starts up again. I have controls at 2 bars. Freezer is now at 8 and fridge is 38. Nobody can tell me what approx temps the bars represent. Can you advise on the bar temps and the current shut down cycle? Thanks Tom

[@darlenehenderson7057]

I have a side-by-side Kenmore with the ice maker and water. So the temperature setting is lines not numbers so do the freezer need to be on just one line I just moved in an apartment and I think it's up to high because it's frost forming inside the freezer , and it wasn't like that when I came in so I might have pushed it up too high but the lines was on number four? And what lines should the refrigerator be on 2-3

On my model "WRS321SDHZ08", the button "Refrigerator Temp" cannot toggle the defrost test ON/OFF. Tried with other tests like defrost sensor test, doesn't work as well.

This ice maker is horrible. You can turn off ice machine for like 5 mins, turn back on, that should reset itself. Otherwise, turn ice maker off, take a pencil and press the reset button (hold for 5 seconds) and release. The handle should lower and tray resets and draws water. Good luck. This is almost a monthly ritual for me!

Defroster not working and freezes over. Freezer is below freezing but fridge is 60°F. Second time this has happened. Last time we lost a bunch of food and had to throw everything out. Unplug the fridge and let it drain, plugged back in and worked. Having little digital thermometers in the fridge and freeze has helped get ahead of the problem. Not a fan of the fridge

Both Freezer and refrigerator are warmer than they should be but frost on back panel of freezer. Guessing defrost is not working.

@@mikeflanary642 I have the same issue and I do the same thing. Once the thermometer stays above 40 degrees on the refrigerator side, I empty it into my old fridge and unplug it. Repeat every couple of weeks. It's a horrible fridge.

Help me. My ice isn't dispensing from tray

Great video by the way!! Can you tell me where the control board is located?

What is the height of the box vs door face?

Men does the reset but have no water going to the tray. Water comes out to fill a cup, but not to the icemaker.

I have the same panel, but my ice is not dispensing. Ice maker is working, but auger motor is not turning on when paddle is pushed. Is there a step that will help me diagnosis the problem?

I have this refrigerator and changed my filter now my ice maker is not functioning. The lever is down and there is ice in the tray. What could I do?

I got my fridge to get to the defrost mode but how do I know if it is actually doing anything? Do I have to hit the last button to turn it on or is it on by default. And if I do need to push the last button how will I know it is on? Thanks

Find out if it just runs defrost mode once you reach the step?

Help ice maker not working. Can’t get a reading in ice harvest test shows no lights stating it’s waiting for a reading. Wires at the freezer bottom door are not torn. Replace IM, Water valve, and main board.

Here is a cool thing if you bought this new. Take off the bottom grill. Inside they have taped in a folded up spec sheet for the service tech showing all these test codes for the service tech. Great to have if you are a DIY'er like all of us.

[@julmary2009julmary]

[@spartan44985]
