The ED family was Whirlpool mainstream side-by-side for years, and these cabinets are now firmly in out-of-warranty territory. Parts remain straightforward, and the two faults that account for most calls are the ice delivery path and the adaptive defrost control.
If the freezer is frosting heavily and the fresh-food side is creeping warm, the defrost board or the heater is the usual culprit. That work involves removing the rear freezer panel with the refrigerator unplugged, and it is technician work rather than an owner task.
