My Whirlpool Gold French door fridge freezer compartment is not defrosting, there is frost all over food in compartment. Anyone else have this?

Yes....the water pools up in the bottom, the proceeds up, frost all over everything. The door is closed tight, so that is not the issue.

manual defrost and quite messy. have to empty the refrigerator of everything, shut it off. and line the shelves and floor with towels. I dont know of any little refrigerators that are self-defrosting.

The lower the temp the warmer it is. The fridge seems to run very cold so a 2/3 setting should help.

I do not know offhand, will check when I get home. The compartments are definitely separate freezer and refrigerator, it sounds like the one reviewer had a bad unit.

Really not sure,but all I can think off is that maybe your freezer is not turned down cold enough.

I have no clue. I assume you have ice maker in fridge. Mine quit working a few days after warranty expired. After a little research, I find that many have problems with this ice maker. Frigidaire response, "TOUGH". I did find ice in the fan. No idea why. Used a hair dryer to melt it. I do not use the ice maker anymore.

My refrigerator wasn't staying cold and the freezer was icing up. Since we've changed the part, the refrigerator works perfectly.

Hi, Joe- Are you having trouble closing the freezer? The only reason I can think of for that is that the way you have positioned the food in the freezer may be blocking the drawers from moving correctly. If you don't have food in the freezer and the door is not closing, then you need to contact Customer Service for assistance.

There's probably something that fell from the freezer drawer to the back, and that's preventing the drawer drawer from closing. Also the ice maker has an arm (wire) that gets stuck, just manually push it down. (this is a good dorm room refrigerator, nothing else though)

The freezer must be manually defrosted. There is no drip tray. You have to turn thermostat knob to off, open the door, allow ice to melt, and wipe out the melted ice with a cloth.

Take out the filter and look at the "evaporator". It will probably be covered with ice. I believe this means the unit is low on freon. I had the same problem and have not been able to find anyone to repair it. Mine lasted two seasons.

I put it in the freezer and nothing happened. It did not turn cold at all. I am very disappinted with this product.

The refrigeration unit gets very cold. I usually empty the canister when the ice cream just collects on the dasher because it is so stiff. I'm going to guess that is as cold as it is going to get because the ice cream is not contacting the outer canister. As an example, I made some salted caramel which I then placed in a deep freezer at -11 F. It never did get solid because I added too much salt which was not the freezer's fault. Sincerely, JAH

I did not buy Whirlpool or Amana because one particular complaint crops up repeatedly about this model and, when I approached Whirlpool to find out if they had made some sort of running change to improve reliability, they stopped communicating with me. Life is short and I need a new fridge so I did not become expert on the issue. You can see what I'm talking about by going through the reviews. That problem (yours, as well?) manifests when unwanted water freezes in the freezer and then leaks out, sometimes causing considerable floor damage. So...look carefully at the floor of your freezer for excess water.

Hi David, According to the manual: "P1- Unit is defrosting-- Allow the unit time to automatically defrost. The error will clear after the unit self defrosts."

I should have added that I bought a freezer thermometer to keep inside and see how cold it was - worked great. They should at least include a thermometer that is readable from outside to avoid opening up to see if it is working - and letting hot air in / cold air out.

Dunno. Is it a fridge? If so buy it at your risk.. . My LG big expensive double door.. has a major design flaw. The cold air recirculation vents in the deep freeze are too small, so that it rapidly, in a couple of weeks, ices up. The auto-defroster cannot handle it. The circulation fan starts clunking as it hits the ice buildup behind the deepfreezer. . I have to do a manual defrost. I have cut the holess much bigger and it's better, but still needs a manual defrost. This last time I made the holes enormous, so lets see if that helps. If I just left it alone, and not manual defrosted, the deice sensor burns out and and that costs $$$. It has already burnt out 2, thats why I have to fiddle with it. Maybe LG just churn out new product and hope for the best, with little or no testing. If somebody gave me an LG fridge as a present, I would refuse it!!
