Introduzione

Use this to clean the condenser coils in your Whirlpool Refrigerator.

The condenser coils dissipate heat during the cooling cycle. As dust and debris pile onto the coils, the fridge becomes less efficient and must work harder to cool down. If your refrigerator isn't cooling properly, your condenser coils might need some cleaning.

This guide will work for most Whirlpool refrigerators. This guide is written with a model WRS315SDHW refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

Thanks for this, step 5 helped out a lot. I do have to say it is very frustrating trying to clean the coils on this model. The coils have that ‘V’ pattern all the way back which makes it really difficult to get a brush through. You almost need some type of access through the side to do this properly.
