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. |

I found this thread after performing a search late this evening after arriving home and finding the frame between the freezer and the fridge was extremely hot to the touch. Thank you! We checked our coils and they were filthy... Thanks again for the tip.

Also check to be sure that you don't have a faulty door seal. This could allow a small amount of your cooled air to escape and cause the system to run more often and longer than necessary. Last edited by JOEHVACTECH : 06-03-2009 at 11:35 PM. |
