[asteysn2]

Manufacturer: WP

Type of Appliance: REF

Model Number: WRX988SIBW00

Howdy Y'all.

I need a SERVICE MANUAL

(not a tech sheet) for a WP Ref, MOD WRX988SIBW00.

Need to know how to gain access to the evap section to replace the Bi-metal.

This box has the third intermediate drawer as well as an extra drawer in the FRZ. Basically need info how to get past the drawers.

Bob at coastalappliances.com and I thank you.

I do not see a service manual for this model. My question is why do you need to replace the bi-metal if you have not been able to get to it. This fridge does not use a bimetal. I believe it uses all thermistors.

If you take a hard look at the tech sheet, there IS a bi-metal in the FC compartment in-line with the defrost heater element...

Service Test 6 is for defrost heater/bi-metal also...

I can't locate a service manual or Job Aid for this model either. There is an installation guide that shows how to remove the drawer fronts, but with these newer models I try to release the entire slider assembly and pull it out while still attached to the drawer, if possible, it keeps you from having alignment issues when you re-install them. The refrigerated drawer shouldn't be part of the freezer compartment- maybe this will be useful.

Sorry, looked at parts list real quick while I was on service matters and it did not have one listed that I could see.

I did the same thing, it took me a bit to find the part on the diagram!
