Whirlpool Refrigerator 5 Blink Error Code
Temperature sensor / thermistor fault. Here's what it means, what you can safely check, and when to call a technician.
Whirlpool Refrigerator 5 Blink Error: Temperature sensor / thermistor fault
When your Whirlpool refrigerator shows a 5 Blink error, it is indicating: Temperature sensor / thermistor fault. This is a specific fault code the appliance's control board uses to flag a problem it has detected — it won't clear permanently by switching the power off and on, because the underlying condition that caused it still exists.
What To Check Before Calling a Technician
Check that the door seals are intact and the fridge is not overstuffed. Note blink count. Call a technician if food is not staying cold.
Thermistor needs testing and replacement. If the 5 Blink error persists after the checks above, a technician will be able to diagnose and fix it with the right tools — attempting to open the unit's panels or handle electrical components without training is not safe.
