2 Whirlpool refrigerator WSR57R18D Runs but Stopped getting cold
Runs but does not get cold. Ices up on small copper tube above coils. Behind inside lower cover.
Update (06/14/2022)
The items in the list do not seem to be the answer.
Coils are clean. Fans run. Compressor runs continuously. Ice forms on capillary tube before the evaporator coils. Evaporator coil does not get cold.
Can’t be start relay or capacitor as the compressor runs. I don’t think it could be a thermistor doesn’t it turn off the compressor.
I am looking for a common failure specific to this model unit. As listed in original question. This is a freezerless refrigerator. It is paired with an identical looking freezer.
Is this a good question?

Same problem and my refrigerator is 2 years 1 month old! Ridiculous...Whirlpool is crap! The 1st tech said if they flush it and it starts working we are good otherwise we need a new $2700 refrigerator. It's crazy that Whirlpool gets away with having no liability in this! Don't buy Whirlpool Sidekicks!!!!!
