W8TXNGMWQ

Most common issues on this model

1. Whether the cabinet restarts cleanly after a power interruption
2. Mechanical thermostat setting versus actual fresh-food temperature
3. Freezer door hinge wear and how the door closes
4. Drain pan and defrost drain at the back of the cabinet

The W8TXNGMWQ is a full-size top-freezer refrigerator with mechanical temperature controls, so there is no display board to worry about; the dial and thermostat do the work. Units like this usually sit in a kitchen alcove or a garage, and many of them have been running in Houston homes for a long time.

On a top-freezer cabinet of this kind we start with the basics: whether the compressor and both fans start after a power cut, whether the thermostat holds a steady temperature instead of drifting too cold, and whether the freezer door hinge still lets the door seal. We also look at the drain pan at the back, because water that has nowhere to go shows up as a puddle under the cabinet.

Since this number is sold in biscuit and white, the sticker inside the cabinet tells us which exact version you own, and we match every part to it. The estimate is put in writing before we pick up a tool, and the work is guaranteed for 30 days.
