Lets get your GB2FHDXWS00 Refrigerator fixed

Here are the most common causes for Whirlpool Refrigerator GB2FHDXWS00 "Fridge too warm"

37% 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.

Maytag refrigerator refrigerator to warm

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.

30% 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!

15% of the time Thermistor Kit

Refrigerator was warm the freezer was ok.

First, researched the problem. Decided it was the thermistor and ordered it from AppliancePartsPros - it arrived in 2 days

Inconsistent temperatures in freezer and refrigerator compartments.

Attempted to fix it by replacing the thermistor in the freezing compartment. The freezer is still staying colder than we'd prefer (hard ice-cream), but refrigerator is staying consistent at the proper temperature.

The freezer gets too cold.

Installation of the new thermistor was super easy with the video instructions. Even a single mom can do it. :

Refrigerator compartment too cold

Refrigerator compartment was slowly dipping below 32 degrees and then freezing food. Replaced the thermistor in the refrigerator compartment with the help of the online video. Piece of cake. Within a couple of hours the thermostat was at 40 degrees, and has held constant. At one point the fridge did get into the the 30's - but I set the freezer temp to 4 degrees (instead of zero) and all is still well. This probably means that I will need to replace the freezer thermistor as well, but after my success in replacing the fridge thermistor, I am almost looking forward to it. Thanks to AppliancePartsPros.com, it shouldn't have to cost an arm and a leg to DIY! Love your business! Keep up the good work!

Maytag fridge staying too cold freezing food

I googled the make & model number of the fridge & the problem. Appliance Parts Pros was the 1st listing to appear. It said the Thermistor needed to be replaced, had the correct part & a with video on how to replace it. After a couple more weeks of ruined food I decided to take a chance & order the part. It arrived the next day. I watched the video again, followed the instructions & replaced the thermistor, it took about ten minutes. That was two weeks ago. The temperature is now around 34 degree's, it had been 25, & no freezing vegetables! Thanks Appliance Parts Pros!

5% of the time Bimetal Defrost Thermostat

Bimetl defroster bad

This is third month freezer started freezing and Refrigerator got hot . 2 Times defrosted freezer and re started lasts exact 1 month. 3rd time called tech service to diagnoses he said Bimetl - Def. and wanted $ 250 extra for parts to fix it. I ordered part and and put together started with $ 50 + 70 Diag.

Warm refrigerator/cold freezer, bottom freezer unit, evaporator covered in ice and icing up

Replaced the Defrost Thermostat. So far it's working fine with no evidence of evaporator coils icing. Your video was most helpful. So was You Tube video on how to take freezer door and parts off to get to the evaporator coils where the thermostat is mounted.

Warm fridge, frozen freezer coils

A new defrost thermostat did the job after testing the fan that blows up to fridge area. The little door that opens up in the fridge, a continuity test of the defrost heating coil and a continuity test of thermostat in ice water. There is a self diagnostic built into my model. https://applianceassistant.com/Refrigerator-Repair/W10503278-Refrigerator-Control-Diagnostics-Repair.php. Copy this and it will get you to where I narrowed down the problem. Used a heat gun to thaw/melt out the coils and block of ice formed in the upper right corner. Not to bad if you take your time and have a helper. Appliance Parts Pros sent the part out the same day, yeah fed ex dropped the ball. Part was in Chattanooga at 7:30am Saturday, delivered Sunday at 12:30 pm.

Iced up in the condensor thought it might be this part also replaced the duck bill drain which turned out to be the real problem

I order the new factory drain replacement kit and it went in smooth. So far the freezer is running and draining and I have cold air in the refrigerator. Someday I may have to replace this part so now I have it.

Fridge warm freezer cold.

After talking with Chris about our problem, he walked us through the diagnostics and determined the problem was caused by a defective defrost thermostat. We ordered the part and received it on the second day. While waiting for the part, we defrosted the evaporator core which was frozen over and not allowing the cold air to be blown into the refrigerator section which is why it was warming up. After removing the defective defrost thermostat and replacing it with the new one, we put the refrigerator back into service and all is as good as new. Thank you Chris and everybody else that came to our aid at Appliance Parts Pros. We sincerely appreciate all your help!

2% 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.
