Whirlpool ED5LVAXVB00 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

The Whirlpool ED5LVAXVB00 side-by-side refrigerator is typically a 25.3 cu. ft. total-capacity design, with about 9.9 cu. ft. in the freezer and the remainder in the fresh-food section. For the exact capacity listing for your unit, confirm in the ED5LVAXVB00 owner's manual.

Quick capacity breakdown

• Total capacity: 25.3 cu. ft.
• Freezer capacity: 9.9 cu. ft.
• Fresh-food capacity (typical): about 15.4 cu. ft.
• Best place to verify: model and serial label inside the refrigerator compartment

Why the exact number can matter

Capacity affects how you plan storage and airflow. Overpacking reduces circulation, which can cause warm spots, frost buildup, and longer run times for the compressor.

Capacity at a glance

Compartment	Capacity (cu. ft.)	What it helps you plan
Freezer	9.9	Frozen food storage and ice bin space
Fresh food	15.4 (typical)	Shelf and bin organization
Total	25.3	Overall kitchen storage planning

Related maintenance tip (helps performance)

If cooling seems inconsistent, keep the air paths clear and stay current on filter maintenance. For water and ice performance, the refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 is the correct filter style listed for this model family.

The most common problems we see on the Whirlpool ED5LVAXVB00 side-by-side refrigerator are no ice or slow ice production, water dispenser issues, warm temperatures from poor airflow or defrost trouble, and door sealing or closing problems. Use the ED5LVAXVB00 owner's manual to match symptoms to checks and settings.

Common symptoms and what usually causes them

• No ice or small cubes: restricted water supply, clogged filter, or a failing ice maker
• Water dispenser not working or leaking: inlet valve issue, frozen/blocked water tube, or filter/cap not seated
• Fridge or freezer too warm: evaporator fan not running, heavy frost from a defrost failure, dirty condenser area
• Frost buildup on freezer back wall: defrost heater or defrost thermostat problem
• Doors not closing well: worn door cam, gasket not sealing, or door alignment issue

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Confirm controls are set to normal mid-range and vents are not blocked by food.
2. Check for strong airflow in the freezer; weak airflow points to a fan or frost issue.
3. If water flow is slow, replace the filter and fully seat the cap.
4. Look for a solid frost sheet on the freezer rear panel (classic defrost-system clue).
5. Inspect door sealing with the paper test; resistance should be consistent around the gasket.

Parts that commonly solve these issues (when testing confirms)

Symptom	Common part to check/replace	Example from this model’s parts
No ice	Ice maker	Refrigerator ice maker 2198597
Slow water/ice	Water filter	Refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1
No water at dispenser	Inlet valve	Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
Frost buildup	Defrost thermostat or heater	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat WPW10225581, refrigerator heater WP2323198
Warm temps, poor airflow	Evaporator fan motor	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549

Why it matters

Catching airflow, defrost, and water-supply problems early prevents food spoilage, reduces ice and water dispenser downtime, and helps protect major sealed-system components like the compressor.

The model number for your Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator is printed on the appliance’s model and serial tag. On ED5LVAXVB00 units, this tag is typically inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall or near the top.

Where to look on a side-by-side refrigerator

Check these common locations first:

• Inside the refrigerator section on the left or right interior wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• Behind the crisper drawers on the side wall
• Along the door frame (hinge side) when the refrigerator door is open
• On the back exterior panel (less common, but possible)

For diagrams and exact label locations used on this model series, use the owner's manual.

What the label looks like (and what to write down)

The tag usually lists multiple identifiers. Record them exactly as shown:

• Model number (example: ED5LVAXVB00)
• Serial number (used for date code and production run)
• Electrical rating (volts/amps, helpful for service)

Quick ID checklist

Item	Why it matters	Example format
Model number	Ensures correct parts fit	ED5LVAXVB00
Serial number	Helps match revisions	Letters and numbers
Brand	Confirms manufacturer family	Whirlpool

Why it matters

Whirlpool often makes small running changes during production. Using the exact model number (and sometimes the serial number) helps us match the right diagrams and order the correct replacement parts, such as a water filter, ice maker, or inlet valve.
