About the brand
About Whirlpool Refrigerators
Whirlpool is an American company based in Benton Harbor, Michigan. It is also the parent company of KitchenAid, Maytag, JennAir and Amana, and it built many older Kenmore models. That means many Whirlpool parts are shared across these brands, which helps us find parts fast.
Whirlpool fridges are known as simple, practical and easy to repair. You will find them as top freezer units in rentals, side-by-sides in family homes and French door models in newer La Mesa kitchens.
The most common Whirlpool repairs we do involve the defrost system, the evaporator fan, the ice maker and the water inlet valve. Most are affordable, which makes repair a smart choice for most Whirlpool owners.
We are an independent refrigerator repair company. We are not affiliated with, or an authorized service center for, Whirlpool. Brand names are used only to describe the appliances we repair.

Questions
Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair FAQs
Answers to common questions from Whirlpool owners.
Why is my Whirlpool refrigerator not cooling?
The most common causes are a failed defrost part that lets ice block the coil, a stopped evaporator fan, dirty condenser coils or a failed start relay.
Why is there frost on the back of my Whirlpool freezer?
That usually means the defrost heater, defrost thermostat or control has failed. A test confirms which part.
Why is my Whirlpool ice maker not working?
Check the filter and the ice maker switch first. If it still fails, the fill tube may be frozen, or the inlet valve or ice maker module has failed.
Do Whirlpool, KitchenAid and Maytag use the same parts?
Many parts are shared because they are made by the same company. That often makes parts easier to find.
Is a Whirlpool refrigerator worth repairing?
Usually, yes. Most Whirlpool repairs are fans, defrost parts, valves or relays, which cost far less than a new fridge.
Are you a Whirlpool authorized service center?
No. We are an independent repair company. If your Whirlpool is under factory warranty, contact Whirlpool first.
