Whirlpool W8TXNGMWQ Top-Freezer Refrigerator

Model # W8TXNGMWQ

With mechanical controls there is little to go wrong electronically on this cabinet, so a unit that will not restart after a power cut usually points at the start relay or the overload on the compressor rather than a control board.

A relay that has failed makes a distinctive click-and-hum cycle every few minutes. Owners should not attempt compressor electrical work: the components sit in the machine compartment and carry mains voltage. A technician can test the relay and the windings quickly.

FAQ

Whirlpool W8TXNGMWQ Top-Freezer Refrigerator FAQ

It is the compressor trying to start and tripping its overload. The start relay is the usual cause and it is a routine replacement for a technician.

The defrost drain pan sits above the compressor and evaporates the water. If the pan cracks or the cabinet is not level, it overflows instead.
