More about Whirlpool repair.

Whirlpool is the platform behind half the kitchens in America. The repair patterns are predictable.

Whirlpool’s WRF, WRX, and WRT chassis sit under not just Whirlpool branding but also KitchenAid, Maytag, JennAir, and Amana — so when we open up a Whirlpool, we are looking at the platform that defines mainstream American refrigeration. The faults we see follow predictable timelines: defrost-timer drift on units past year 8, control-board capacitor aging on units past year 10. We are an independent fridge-only shop and we service Whirlpool every week.

Common Whirlpool issues we see

  • Defrost-timer drift on WRF French-door past year 8. The evaporator ices over, the fresh-food side drifts warm, frost builds on the back panel of the freezer.
  • Control-board capacitor aging on WRX side-by-side. The cooling cycle restarts on its own, temperature alarms cycle without cause, the display goes intermittent.
  • Ice-maker harvest-cycle stalls. The harvest motor torques but the cubes stay locked in the mold, the unit overflows water on the next fill cycle, the bin freezes solid.
  • Water-inlet valve failures on dispenser units. The dispenser pad clicks but no water comes out, or there is a slow drip behind the unit at the saddle valve.
  • Evaporator-fan motor seizure on bottom-freezer units. Cold air stops moving from the freezer evaporator into the fresh-food side, the upper compartment drifts warm.
  • Condenser-coil clogging on lower-clearance freestanding. Pet hair and dust pull into the bottom coils, the compressor overworks, the cabinet warms.

Models we service most often

WRF French-door (WRF555, WRF767, WRF992) in standard and counter-depth. WRX side-by-side (WRX735, WRX986). WRT top-freezer (WRT318, WRT519). WRB bottom-freezer. Older Gold Series GS6 and Gold WRF series.

What the diagnostic includes

Visit starts with a $65 in-home diagnosis, waived if you authorize the repair. We arrive with OEM parts on the truck for the common Whirlpool failures — defrost timers, control boards, ice-maker assemblies, water-inlet valves, evaporator fans. You get a written quote before any work begins, with parts and labor under a 3-month warranty (6 to 12 months on compressor and sealed-system work).

We are an independent Whirlpool repair shop

We are not factory-authorized and not affiliated with Whirlpool Corporation. We service Whirlpool because we have invested in the parts inventory, the diagnostic tools, and the years of repair history on the WRF, WRX, and WRT chassis.

What your neighbors said this month.

  • I couldn't recommend this company more highly. I have used them several times and found Ivan to be knowledgeable, responsive, honest and courteous. He has saved me from buying a new refrigerator twice and unlike so many vendors, he is always able to diagnose the problem quickly and always knows how to fix it. If you want someone reliable who truly knows his craft and is always fair and reasonable, call We Fix Fridges!

  • We have used this company several times now. I wanted to leave a review because Ivan really went above and beyond for this last repair the day before a big holiday weekend. He saved us! 100% recommend him. Besides being so knowledgeable which helps with diagnosis to repairs he is courteous and timely and we have found his prices to be very fair. It's hard to find a trustworthy reliable repair person. We have Ivan on text now!

  • Highly recommended. Been in business with Ivan 3 different times with different appliances and all were satisfactory with problem fixed. He even figured out an indirect minor issue and fixed it for us with no charge without us asking for it. Ivan will be the first one I call in any cases of an appliance that needs repair.
