Side by side Whirlpool refrigerator is cooling only to 58
degrees when set to lowest setting. Serviceman replaced
diffuser, but that did not remedy the problem. Freezer side
is working fine. Any suggestions appreciated.

... unplug the power cord for 5 minutes

Reboot the unit :-)

did that to no avail

Frost free crap?
Probably frozen up to hell.
Put your food in somebody else's fridge, unplug, and leave a fan
heater pointing to the open doors overnight. Put some towels down
---- etc. If that cures the problem, it will probably do it
again.

When a fridge or freezer breaks, I just replace it. They're not
economically serviceable.

It is less than three years old

That's odd, I've never known one break that soon. Take it back to
the shop. Not sure about America, but in the UK anything up to
about 6 years you can take things back that are not lasting an
expected amount of time.


It's not that easy. Think before you post.

Beyond six months, it's up to you to prove that the problem was
there when you received the goods even if it has taken until now to
come to light. So, you may need to prove that the fault was not down to
ordinary
wear and tear or damage you caused, and that the product (or a
component) should have lasted longer than it did.

To do this you may need an expert's report, for example, from an
engineer or a mechanic.

Always try to keep the cost of any report proportionate to the value
of the claim and, if you can, try to agree on an expert you and the
seller both agree has the necessary expertise.


With something which receives wear and tear from the user, I agree. For
example the door fell off because your kid was swinging on it. But if the
compressor motor dies after 3 years, that cannot possibly
have been due to user error. The compressor is sealed and not
touched by the operator.


We could always speculate on the doors of the fridge freezer being left wide
open and the compressor running 24/7. This happens.
I won't speculate.
But you will, as this increases the strength of your trolling in this group.
Go and reply Hucker, prove my point.
