Just an FYI......

My Whirlpool fridge in the coach was acting up. The freezer stayed cold but the fridge would arm up to 50. I had a spare thermostat and defrost module and thought one of those might be the issue. I thought it was one of those because I could hear the evaporator fan running in the freezer sometimes and other times it would not turn on when there was a demand for cooling.

I ended up pulling the evaporator cover and sure enough I had 120V at the motor. I could see it trying to start up but it would not spend. After doing some research the capacitors failing is fairly common. I could also see the evaporator was ice cold so the compessor was working fine and I could hear it running.

I ordered one on Amazon for $20 and then ordered a second one to carry as a spare. The fridge is only about 2 years old and I turn it off in the winter months or if the coach is not in use for several weeks.
