The Handyguys discuss fixing a Whirpool Gold refrigerator. The issue was the unit would not run when the light bulb was installed. Many people have reported various issues such as:
- Display on the control panel stops working
- Lights not working (even with new bulbs)
- Electrical noise or buzzing sound from behind
- Flickering lights
- No cooling
The problem was a burnt contact on the circuit board. In this video we show you how to replace the control board.

Thanks for the information:-)
Great post! thanks
Where can we purchase a new circuit board?
LouAnne – I got mine from a local parts store. Check the yellow pages. You could bring in the old board with you and they can match it up.
A couple of online options are

http://www.repairclinic.com/

Good luck with the repair.
Fantastic post – helped me fix the same issue on my 6 year old fridge. Thanks much, guys.
Glad to help!
Thanks for this video! I was about to call a repair man and you saved us the $! We were having a similar problem, so I ordered a new circuit board from amazon and it fixed our issue! What a great feeling. We are not even do yourself type people. You made us handy! Thank you.
Thank you so much for confirming which part to change in my Whirlpool Gold and also the video that shows exactly what to do, thanks you save me $$$$. I searched everywhere on the net and finally got you website, Thanks again
Just ordered ‘Whirlpool W10135090 Defrost Control for Refrigerator’ by Whirlpool for $93 from Amazon. Supposedly Whirlpool replaced Part # 2252189 (which is the Elec. Control part # from my refrigerators manual downloaded here – http://www.whirlpool.com/manuals – model # is on the plaque inside the refrigerator) with Part # W10135090. I’ll follow up when I’ve got the part to confirm that it worked.
Follow up – “Whirlpool W10135090 Defrost Control for Refrigerator” by Whirlpool for $93 from Amazon worked great and it was indeed about a 10 minute job! Thanks Handyguys!
