My Whirlpool fridge is about 7 years old. The freezer has been frosting up every couple months. The fan got really loud the first time. One time the freezer section stopped working. Most recently the fridge loses all its cold air. I’ve cleaned the dust buildup around the outside, I’ve thawed it completely multiple times. I’ve added a drain strap that was never there. I most recently removed the defrost heater and bought a multimeter to check it. The YouTube video from Parts Dr said it should read between 10-150 ohms. Mine read 300 so I bought a new one but the new one also reads 300 so I don’t think the heater is the problem. The thermistor seems fine too. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Bjenson, the brown wire on the harness WPW10487766 would need to be tested for continuity to identify if the fuse has failed. If it does not have continuity, the harness would need to be replaced. If it does have continuity, then the failure would be in the main control W11035836 based on the information provided.

I'm not getting a reading from any wires except for those that go to the ice maker which I don’t need/use. So just replace the harness and I should be good?
