Icicles in freezer compartment
you can do the dollar check to see if indeed the gasket is the problem,thats what it sounds like. close dollar in door and pull out slowly,you should feel some resistance.also at the top corner of door you will find 3 screws at the hinge, loosen the screws a couple of turns and you will be able to adjust the fit of the door ,move it alittle to make sure it is square with the fridge,this may help then re-tighten screws.
Water dripping from freezer into refrigerator area
The defrost cycle is melting ice that will not go down the drain tube in the rear of the freezer. This can be a clogged tube due to debris, organic growths or ice blocking flow. What doesn't end up dripping into the fridge ends up freezing in the freezer compartment. Make sure the fridge is level or tilted back slightly.
Unplug the fridge from power. Remove the contents of the freezer and remove the ice maker, back wall plate and floor plate in the freezer section. Remove ice build up on the floor and tray in the freezer by thawing and soaking up water. Flush hot water (use a turkey baster to get at it) at the opening of the drain hose that is connected to the tray to thaw any ice.. once flowing to the evapraor tray under the fridge, mix up 1/2 oz of bleach and 4 oz of water and pour down the tube to kill any bacteria.
Reassemble and restock the freezer. Monitor the temperature of the fresh food (34 deg) and freezer (0 deg) compartments. If you notice the temperatures start to climb, there may be a problem with the defrost timer, terminator, etc. and may require a pro's help.
Good luck!

Freezer won't freeze
Hello Duane. I am sorry that the freezer does not seem to be freezing properly. Iwould vacuum around the unit, using a hose attachment, to remove any dust orlint that could be blocking the blower. Do not go under the unit, as you couldhit a fan, and cause damage to other parts. I would also move any food itemsaway from the vents in the unit to help restore proper air flow. Using a $1 bill, close it in the door and theframe, and see if the bill pulls out easily. If it does, then the seal is not closing properly. Clean around the gasket using mild soap andwater, and see if that improves the seal. I hope this information is helpful. Sincerely, Melanie, Whirlpool Social media group.
Freezer will not stop running
Hi. I understand your refrigerator is running constantly. This is normal in newer refrigerators, as it takes more energy to turn the compressor on and off then for them to run longer. If you are concerned, I have troubleshooting suggestions you can try. Iwould vacuum around the unit, using a hose attachment, to remove any dust orlint that could be blocking the blower.

Whirlpool top freezer refrigerator has water in bottom refrigerator
when the machine goes into defrost the heater in the freezer comes on and melts all frost off of the evaporator coil,the water goes down a drain line down to where the compressor and condensor coil is and there the water evaporates,your drain is blocked so the water can't drain down and leaks into the fridge section.when you write looking for answers you have to send the model number off of the machine,if the freezer is on top open the fridge door and look on the left side wall up near the ceiling and there should be a tag with model number,unplug the fridge or shut down the cold control,remove everything from the freezer and remove the back inside wall of the freezer,with a hair dryer melt out all the ice under the evap coil,i use a steamer to clean out the drain,if you don't have one you can try a turkey baster or anything that will push air or water down the drain hole,when you think the drain is clear pour hot water into the hole,if it drains down then it's clear,if not keep hitting it,you can also heat up the back center wall and ceiling in the fridge section to help melt out the ice.there's also a heater probe you can buy that you stick into the drain and it raps around the heater,when the heater comes on the probe heats up and keeps the drain from freezing up,you can also use a ground wire from an electrical piece of house wire or from a cable wire,cut a piece around 6 inches,stick it into the hole and rap the end around the heater,if it's a glass heater connect the wire to the metal in front of the heater,if 6 inches is to long trim it down a little so it fits.good luck,if you need anymore help let me know.
Water is dripping on the
sounds like the drain is blocked
you have a plugged up drain in the freezer.when the machine goes into defrost the ice melts off the coil and goes down the drain in the freezer and drips down to the bottom pan where it evaporates,but your drain is blocked so the water can't drain correctly.you have to empty the freezer,remove the ice maker and shelves,remove the back wall and with a hair dryer melt out all the ice.after the ice is gone you have to clear the drain.i use a steemer to clear out the drain,if you don't have a steemer you can use like a turkey baster or anything that will blow through the drain line and clear it.when you think it's clear,pour hot water down through the drain to make sure it's clear.there's a heater you can install into the drain hole so this doesn't happen again,you can call your local parts store and tell them you need a drain heater or you can make one,get a 6 inch piece of house electrical wire,remove the ground wire from the casing,stick it in the hole until it hits the bottom of the drain,then leave enough to rap around the heater that melts the ice off the coil around a half inch and cut off the rest,when theheater comes on the wire heats up and stops the ice from blocking the drain. you want it long enough to go down the drain without hitting anything,4 to 5 inches is plenty,let me know how you make out
Fridge and freezer warm
Whirlpool refrigerators as well as the other brands that fall under the corporation most like at some point within the first five years will stop cooling and freezing, and the sound you here will be either a humming follow by a click or in some cases just the click alone. This is caused by the start device on the compressor. The relay part of it has basically burnt, fell apart inside, however you want to describe and is not passing the power to the compressor to come on. To access this pull the refridgerator out from the wall, and first and foremost unplug it. Once that is done remove the lower panel, sometimes cardboard sometimes metal which is held up by a few quarter inch screws. Place to the side and located the compressor. The box on the side is start device, it will have 2 or 3 wires going to it, most of the time red and white respectively. Also they maybe a black box thats connected to the start device and sits horizontallty. Thats the capacitor. Keep that if your going to do the repair yourself. I recommend doing it because its very easy and will save you alot of money. You can buy this part at www.repairclinic.com or at www.apdepot.com just be sure to have your make and model number handy.
