DISCLAIMER: Due the danger and complexity of electronics repair, the following shared technical tips are intended for professional reference only. Please refer to manufacturer’s recommendations as Encompass and Fred’s Appliance Academy do not guarantee the accuracy, reliability or safety of this information. Electrical Shock Hazard: Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Customers with Whirlpool/ Maytag French door refrigerators may report ice build up on the floor of the freezer, and the unit will leak about every other day leaving a puddle of water on the floor in either the right or left hand corner of the unit. This is caused by a slow drain in defrost due to what’s called a grommet or duckbill grommet style drain. The theory behind the grommet style drain was to prevent warm air from entering the unit from the compressor compartment causing excessive frost on the evaporator. After a few years of use with the first style grommet, Whirlpool found that the it was getting clogged by dust and pet dander.

Drain Kit

Whirlpool redesigned the grommet in about 2012/2013 to what we refer to as the “duckbill” grommet, which was larger in diameter and would allow more water through to drain quicker, while keeping a good seal to block warm air. The new style grommet lasted a couple of years before Whirlpool once again found that it would clog with dust and pet dander, causing  ice on the bottom of the freezer and the unit to leak water on the floor. Once again it was back to the drawing board for Whirlpool, which led to design of the P-trap style drain kit (pictured right) that we now find in any newer (2015- present) unit. This new style drain kit allows the water from the defrost to drain quickly and also prevents warm air from entering the unit.

This kit is compatible with all 30,″ 33,″ and 36″ wide refrigerator model numbers listed at the bottom of this post. The drain tube kit includes an installation instruction sheet. To install the new kit you will have to access the back of the unit by carefully pulling the unit away from the wall using a scuff shield to prevent floor damage. Once the panel has been removed, you must remove the current drain channel and grommet. Once both parts are removed, you will have to install the white rubber spacer on the portion of the drain that is coming through the bottom, followed by locking the P-trap drain into place in the drain pan.

Once the new kit is installed, it is recommended that you use a steamer (example: Bissell Steam Shot) to clear the ice from the clogged drain located underneath the evaporator. Once the drain is clear, make sure you use a clean towel to wipe the floor of the freezer to prevent any water on the freezer floor caused by the steamer to freeze.

Below is a list of model numbers that may have the grommet:

Wisemotion Compressor

The latest Whirlpool French door refrigerators, The “Bella” a 36 cu ft, now available exclusively through Lowes and the “Bella 2,” a 32 cu ft that will be released later this year, use a new compressor technology called Wisemotion.

This new energy efficient compressor uses no oil and the latest inverter call the Orion box inverter. The wisemotion compressor like your typical oil filled compressor is still a linear variable capacity compressor (VCC). This VCC varies the voltage/power the the linear motor unlike the traditional VCC that varied the electrical frequency to the motor, changing the rotation speed of the compressor for the different cooling departments. The displacement of the piston In the Wisemotion varies directly with power varying the cooling capacity. The compressor design is more compact and not big and bulky like all compressors now used is other units and by many manufactures. This design will provide a lower sound level making the units much quieter and providing more precise cooling over a greater range.

Depending on the cooling needs the compressor receives power from the Orion board that varies between 110vac to 260vac. To be able to run at such a low voltage enables the compressor to run for longer period
of times, minimizing cycling making the units more efficient. If the compressor should have to be replaced for any reason the technician will receive a new compressor kit that will contain: Compressor | Non dye dryer | Heat blanket | Inverter/ Orion box asm. | Alcohol wipes | Process tube | Heat trap paste | Instruction sheet.

With the compressor containing no oil the technician will have to use a set of gauges that have never been used on a system that has oil or a dye drier (the oil will damage the compressor within a hour of run time if any of the aforementioned were used). The unit will have to be charged on the high side with the valve in the home position (no explanation given for why it has to be charged on the high side). A dye drier can not be used at all in this system with this compressor due to the dye causing internal damage to the compressor and possibly restricting the system (compressor will fail within a hour of run time).

The new Wisemotion technology is only exclusive to whirlpool by Embraco and during the testing period where 500 units were released into the field only 5 came back with a problem with the compressor. Not only as a technician in the field but also as a instructor I strongly believe this compressor will be the new wave of the future not only in Whirlpool but with manufactures across the board.

Due the danger and complexity of electronics repair, the following shared technical tips are intended for professional reference only. Please refer to manufacturer’s recommendations as Encompass does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability or safety of this information.

Hitachi TV, 42HDM12A
Reason for Service:  Solarized picture
Solution:  Check connector P36 on the main board for a bad connection or bent pin.

LG TV, 42LV4400
Reason for Service:  Dead set
Solution:  Replace the flash IC, at U18, #COV31451901.  If you can’t replace this IC, replace the main board.

Mitsubishi TV, WD65732
Reason for Service: Picture has a haze over it
Solution:  Taking the lens assembly apart and cleaning all glass fixed the set.

Orion, (Sansui) TV, HDLCD3250F
Reason for Service: Dead or intermittently dead
Solution: Remove main board SM cap C6212.

Pioneer TV, Pro 710HD
Reason for Service:  Picture too dark
Solution:  Look for excessive bad solder on power supply board and resolder all.

RCA TV, L42WD250YX6
Reason for Service: Set would boot up for a few seconds, then shut down with 5 blink code
Solution:  Found many bad caps in power supply and on buffer board.  Replacing all fixed the set.

Samsung LCD, LN40A500T1FXZA
Reason for Service:  Picture too dark, some solarizing, too much color, audio is ok
Solution: T-Con was bad, MS35-D026047.

Sanyo LCD, DP42849
Reason for Service: Dead, green light comes on for a few seconds then goes back off
Solution: Replaced IC5750, got it from Sanyo.
