Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair & Service in New York

Not necessarily. A very common issue with Whirlpool refrigerators is a blown start relay or run capacitor attached to the side of the compressor. The clicking is the relay attempting (and failing) to start the compressor. We carry replacement relay kits to get your compressor running smoothly again without needing a full system repair.

This is a classic symptom of a defrost system failure. When the defrost heater or bi-metal thermostat fails, frost builds up over the freezer evaporator coils, blocking the fan from blowing cold air into the refrigerator section. We test all defrost components to pinpoint the exact part that needs replacing.

Many Whirlpool side-by-side models use an infrared optics board (a "laser" beam) to detect when the ice bin is full. If the red LED light is blinking continuously and you have no ice, the optics boards have likely failed. We can test the optics and the ice maker module to restore your ice production.

This is usually caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain tube. When the freezer goes into its auto-defrost cycle, the melted water has nowhere to go and ends up freezing at the bottom of the compartment or leaking onto your floor. We clear the blockage and flush the line to prevent future water damage.

Yes, erratic behavior, flashing lights, or a completely dead unit (with a live outlet) often points to a failure in the main electronic control board (sometimes referred to as the "Jazz board" in older Whirlpool/Maytag models). We can run built-in diagnostic modes to confirm if the board is sending the correct voltage to your cooling components.
