Refrigerator purchased in 2005. In garage and used six months a year. Recently noticed not as cold as usual. Two weeks later, zip! No sounds, no freezer or refrigerator. Everything warm. (We were away.) Light on when door opened.
- No freezer fan
- No fan next to compressor
- No "clicks" on or off
- No compressor start

Can't find a "reset" or fuse.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hi.

Two most probable things: stocked defrost timer or bad cold control.
Locate little hole (size of a dime) in the control panel with the timer shaft in it.
Use flat screwdriver to slowly turn the shaft CW 360*. If the fridge starts - replace the timer Part number: 2314156
Part number: 2314156


If not - replace the cold control Part number: 2204605
Part number: 2204605


Here are the breakdown diagram and Replacement parts for Whirlpool ET1PHKXPQ04 REFRIGERATOR | AppliancePartsPros.com

Post the results.

Simon.

Thanks! Defrost timer seems to be the culprit according to the test you described. Part is ordered! :)

Great website which I wish I'd known about long ago!
