A friend has a very old Whirlpool refrigerator which developed some problems recently. I can't find this model number anywhere; closest I can locate is EED221MKWR2, which appears similar but not quite exactly the same.

I ordered the Whirlpool refrigerator repair manual, but I suspect it will be so generic that it won't be a great deal of help.

We have no manuals, schematics, or any tech info. If anyone can point me to technical information for this model, I would greatly appreciate it.

The refrigerator and freezer both got very warm Saturday; frozen food melted. Took everything out and salvaged what we could. I couldn't access the back of the unit, but I "rocked" the whole unit a couple of times ... and the fan and compressor came on. It's been running (cycling) since, but the fridge was only about 50 degrees today.

I ordered a replacement overload and relay kit ... I hope it's the right unit!

I've been doing field service & support for over 20 years ... medical x-ray equipment, CT scanners, lithotripters, and for the past 16 years I've been servicing label printing equipment. I was an electronics tech before all of that. So I'm good at troubleshooting, and pretty good with electrical/electronic equipment ... but an absolute amateur with refrigerators.

(And yes, I know she should probably get a new refrigerator, but that's an entirely different discussion!)

Thanks in advance for any help.
