Here are the most common causes for Whirlpool Refrigerator GB2FHDXWB03 "Fridge too warm"

47% of the time Electronic Control Board

Freezer cold frig warm

Replaced circuit board which solved the problem. Took 15 minutes to figure out how to get to the board and ten minutes to replace it and reinstall everything.

I changed the electronic control panel and the refrigerator is working like new! The part from appliance parts pro got here in less than 24 hours, when using the two day shipping option. The how to video on the appliance parts pro web site was spot on and made it easy to complete the task. I was able to complete the job for less than half the price I was quoted by a Sears tech.

The refrigerator would get warm every couple of weeks when the freezer frosted over

In the end, I replaced the electronic control board. It was an easy fix. Instructions are provided. Just note that you're supposed to crack the board along the fault line to form two boards. The hard part for me was determining that the control board was to blame. I hesitated to replace it because the onboard diagnostics indicated nothing wrong, and replacing it was the most expensive option. The defrost thermostat seemed much more likely, and many instructions on the web (incorrectly) say that the thermostat should close in a cup of ice water. No, the thermostat requires colder temperatures to close; test it in a working freezer. I eventually swapped the control board after seeing a professional tech on YouTube do the same after only seeing the onboard diagnostics pass. And of course the problem only occurred when the freezer frosted over, so every time I'd manually defrost the freezer, everything seemed fine for a couple of weeks. I became very experienced at taking the freezer apart.

Fridge not getting cold but freezer cold and fridge was constantly running

I did some research on the fridge not getting cold but freezer ok. I found a very helpful post that explained how to put the fridge into diagnostic mode and how to run some of the diagnostic tests with the buttons on the fridge display. I determined that the control board was my problem after running several of the self tests. The control board was not allowing the defrost cycle to run properly and it was keeping the compressor on constantly which was freezing the water on the fins and blocking the airflow from the freezer to the fridge.

Google and YouTube search pointed to the problem the fan was ok so I replaced the electronic control board.

38% of the time Run Capacitor

Freezer & fridge won’t get cold 0

I knew that it could be a anything refrigerant, thermostat & all but thought about how power to the compressor. So I ordered a run capacitor. The chat confirmed that it might be but suggested I get a start relay. I should have listened & saved shipping fee. Replaced both and the compressor started humming as it should, Took me 20 minutes. Thanks guys.

Refrigerator was not cooling.

Thanks to the advice on your website, a new capacitor was ordered and easily installed following your video. Thanks to a less than $40 dollar repair we did not have to spend hundreds to replace the refrigerator! Thank you so much!

Our Whirlpool refrigerator would come on go off and not come on again.

I replaced the capacitor first but still had the same problem. Tried the thermostat second and that fixed the problem. Your repair videos really helped! If I can do this, anyone can. Don't be afraid. Bought repair parts based on your percentage of failures. Thanks again!

Fridge and freezer were not cooling.

Replaced it with the part that was recommended. It was a capacitor. Once I replaced the part and plugged the fridge back into the wall, the fridge kicked on and started working. The fridge got down to the set temperatures. However the fridge cooled for about 18 hours and then stopped working again. I contacted customer service and told them the problem, and they are sending me another part.

Trying to start multiple times before starting. I called a repair person who said there was nothing wrong, but i felt differently

I looked up my model and with the information on troubleshooting, I thought it worth ordering a capacitor. I looked on uTube how to install. My neighbor came over and we took off the panel and replaced the capacitor in 10 minutes!

3% of the time Damper Control Assembly

This 4 year old refrigerator was making a grinding noise

My wife researched the problem and found the most likely culprit was the part we ordered. It took less than 20 minutes to replace the defective part. The research my wife did, proved to be correct !

Refrigerator damper making loud noises when opening an closing on startup

Ordered a new damper for the refrigerator came with wiring harness attached. I no longer hear the loud noise from the refrigerator on start up. Helps to remove the top shelf for my model.

Over cooling

I had an inactive control pad so had to replace that first. Verified that the temperature sensor was accurately reporting the actual temperature. Had removed the cover over the air damper in the top back of the refrigerator compartment. Noticed that the damper was full open all the time. Replacement was easy. 1) Disconnect power. 2) Pop the air deflector off by prying up on the bottom edge with a flat blade screw driver. 3) Two Phillips head screws come out next to remove the rest of the cover. 4) The styrofoam insulation comes off as one piece by simply pulling on it. 5) Finally, the damper comes out by disconnecting the power connector and then pushing gently on two locking tabs with a flat blade screw driver while pulling straight away from the back of the fridge. 6) The new damper installs by reversing these same steps.

Refrigerator too cold

After researching on your website I ordered the parts that were basically considered to be the most likely reason for problem. Boom, back up and running for less than a service call! Thanks

Noisy motor

Found the part on Appliance Pros, watched a YouTube video, ordered, and replaced in about 5 minutes. No more noise when the refrigerator starts up.
