Whirlpool GC5SHEXN Side by Side Refrigerator Questions & Answers
Refeshment Center in door stopped working
Since both stopped at the same time and are not really related problems (Ice is one feature, water another) the likely culprit is the control board. See this diagram for where it\'s at.http://www.partselect.com/Schematics/Whirlpool/5IRUBZMI.gif

I have a Whirlpool GC5SHEXNS00 side-by-side
If the center wall was hot then your defrost heater was stuck on, now with no cooling it could be you burnt out the compressor or the main board could be fried. Not good either way, it might be time for a new one. Sorry

Center Column is getting hot
Generally that means your auto defroster system is defective. It could be a simple switch/sensor. See if you can find a switch to turn off the AUTO DEFROSTER and see if that solves it. If it does, then you have a sensor problem. If it does not, then you might have a short in the system and it would be advisable to have a certified technican look at your unit. If it is a short and it is in the walls, then you are probably S.O.L and might have to disable the defroster and live with it and just be required to manually defrost your refer unit it truly dies. Reason being, if it is in the walls, it is cost prohibative to open the walls and repair a refers wiring, tubes and other components in the foam and such. Sorry for the tough news. Lets hope the techincan you have come out finds a cheap easy fix for you.
Kindly,

Noises
Now this is a broad complaint!! LOL! Where do we start? What does the noise sound like? If it sounds like a bird chirping, it's your evap fan motor. If it sounds like somethings hitting the fan blade, your unit's frozen up with ice and needs to defrosted COMPLETELY and a new defrost system replaced. Call us and we'll be sure to ge the right parts out to you right away asap so you can get this unit back up and running again! We look forward to hearing from you and hope to be able to work with you more.

I just moved my dads fridge to my house and after
When a fridge is layed down the oil in the compressor will flow into the refridgerant lines and will have to be stood upright until the oil can return the the comrpessor. It may be too late for yours but I would try cutting it off for a day before trying it again. This may not be the cause of the smell so keep a nose on that and try to locate exactly where it's coming from.
