Guide · RefrigeratorStart by knowing the architecture. Sub-Zero built-ins have two separate sealed systems, so a warm section means a fault in that section's own fan, defrost, sensor or system. Monogram built-ins share one freezer evaporator and feed fresh food through a damper, so a warm fresh-food side with a cold freezer points at the damper, airflow or an iced return passage.
Guide · RefrigeratorSwings usually come from a frosted evaporator (defrost failing), a sticking damper, or a sensor problem. Check frost first, then damper and thermistor.
Guide · RefrigeratorA class settlement (Paperno v. Whirlpool, N.D. Cal., final approval May 13, 2025) covered certain Whirlpool, Maytag and KitchenAid three-door French-door refrigerators built roughly 2012 to 2019 that may not fully defrost the fresh-food evaporator, so frost and ice block airflow and the fresh-food section stops cooling. Whirlpool denied wrongdoing. The settlement reimbursed documented evaporator repair or replacement costs within limits; reported claim deadlines were in 2025, so new claims are likely closed. The repeat-icing pattern is still common in the field.
