Model Number: ED25QFXHW01 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 5 - 10 years
I have a whirlpool side-by-side, and the last year or so the middle frame between the freezer and fridge is hot to the touch. This is the location where the inside of the door seal meets the frame. Should I be worried? The fridge and Freezer are both working fine, the middle area is just hot. Not just a little warn but hot. I would guess around 100 degrees. I just measured it with a meat thermometer and is it 102 between the door seal and the unit. Any help would be appreciated. The heat seems to be along then entire center divider and not very isolated.

Hi Mike,
I'm guessing it's been a while since the condenser coils have been cleaned. I'd check that first. Condenser coils are at the bottom and accessible through the front (remove the kick panel) or the back of the fridge. You can try using a vacuum cleaner or this condenser brush: WHIRLPOOL Refrigerator condenser cleaning brush. Breakdown diagrams (condenser is number 3 on the diagram): Model ED25QFXHW01. Let me know what you find. |

Well, it's normal for it to be warm, but if it's hot to the touch, it usually indicates that the condenser coils need cleaning.
Post again if you have another question. Welcome to the forum. |
