Hi everyone. Whirlpool side by side fridge warm on both sides. Initial prob I noticed was ice maker not making ice because both sides were warm. Still having frost build up and warm temps on both sides after replacing both defrost sensor and heater. Fridge was running 44-45 and climbling. Here is a pic a week later after I replaced both defrost sensor and heater

Is the evaporator fan motor running?

Did you defrost the entire evaporator coil before you installed the new defrost sensor and defrost heater?

Did you ohm test the 2 thermal fuses?

Look at this thread:

FIXED - Whirlpool Refrigerator WRS325SDHZ01 is not defrosting (<4 years old)

Good morning and thank you for having such a wealth of information! I have read through the few threads on my issue but none appear to have come to resolution. Hopefully I can resolve my problem with your kind assistance and provide info I have not been able to find. This is a Whirlpool...

Ahh sweet I didnt realize I had inline thermal fuses. To answer your questions. Yes both evap and condenser fans are running. I did completely defrost before replacing the heater and sensor. I'm ordering the fuses today

Ok, sounds good, let us know how it goes.

Got the wiring harness with the inline fuses last week and replaced. This is what it looks like a week ltr. My guess is a bad control board?

 

[Jake]

Yes, then its a bad main control board too.

Here's the main control board for your model:
