Found out something else. After watching the position of the defrost timer, it turns out it's basically a 24 hour clock and defrosts every single day. Huge waste considering I only open the fridge a few times a day when I'm going in there for food and only for a few seconds, so the added humidity is minimal. If only there was a retrofit timer that I could put in its place that would trigger once a week or something, especially considering that every time it kicks that 500-600 watt heater on that heat ends up inside the house adding to the cooling load the next time the compressor runs. Definitely never touching a Whirlpool product again. The house has a newer Whirlpool dishwasher though and it seems to be fine and its an energy star but I remember the Whirlpool dishwasher in the house that I grew up in, plenty of failed parts were replaced by me in that unit until 15 years later when the tub seal went and wiped out the motor and flooded the kitchen at the same time.
