Common Whirlpool freezer problems
Keep the lid or door closed while you wait. The USDA says a full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours, a half-full one for about 24.
Not freezing
Dirty condenser coils, a failed evaporator fan, a bad start relay, or a defrost system fault on frost-free models.
Heavy frost buildup
A worn door gasket letting warm air in, or a failed defrost heater, timer or thermostat.
Runs all the time
Dirty condenser coils, a leaking door gasket, or a faulty thermostat.
Loud buzzing or rattling
A worn evaporator or condenser fan motor.
Water on the floor
Usually a clogged defrost drain. The water has nowhere to go, so it ends up under the freezer.

Call (833) 246-4287Repair or replace?
Most freezers last about 11 to 16 years. Here's a rule of thumb a lot of people use: if yours is near the end of that and the repair costs more than half what a new one would, replace it. If not, fixing it is usually cheaper.

No, the call's free. The provider sets the repair price, so ask what the service call costs and get an estimate before anyone comes out.
What if my Whirlpool freezer is still under warranty?
