compressor

Got a ‘52 shelvador. All original except rewired with 14 ga. It ran before I rewired it but it has been jostled around a good bit as I refinished the exterior and cleaned it up. I plug it in and the start windings run the compressor for about 2 sec then the relay clicks and nothing. Lesser...

I have an LG fridge that needs a new start relay. It's the weirdest thing. The parts diagram from LG doesn't include a start relay - only the capacitor and a "start relay cover". Not what I need. I found this on a different thread here... Start Device CLS30820001 The Repair Clinic system says...

is the start relay supposed to rattle at all? my old one rattled noticeably, so based on what I read decided to buy another one thinking that part was broken. i decided to buy a certified used one though (i know, i should have just bought new) and out of the box, which was opened, i shook it and...

The fridge was manufactured in 2000. The noise is intermittent and started two days ago and appears to be coming from the matsushita compressor DA51C72RCU6. Any suggestion for repair and if this could be done by a non-professional, though mechanically inclined person, or no. Thanks...

Hi, My freezer wasn't freezing and everything melted, including the ice in the ice bin. The issue was intermittent for a while, then it went out altogether. I can hear relays clicking to turn the compressor on from the control board, but it doesn't do anything. I used this post to check out a...

Greetings all, great forum and glad to have found it! I have a Westinghouse M-6 serial # 8123888 refrigerator. Have owned it for 20-years and converted it to kegerator. It has worked like a champ until this summer when I first plugged it in from winter storage (non-use...unattached garage...

Both the freezer and fridge were not working. I could hear what sounded like a fan, not a compressor. I made the mistake of turning down the fridge temp about 5 degrees before I read in the manual "No more than 1 degree every 24 hours." I turned the unit off and then back on. No change. We...

Hi, my Maytag refrigerator has been making a clicking noise for several weeks now. It happens at seemingly random times but throughout the day and night. The noise lasts several minutes. Maintenance in my apartment building has tried replacing the ice maker and this has not fixed the problem. My...

Our fridge is only 5 years old. Monday night it started running loudly, like it sounded like an old fridge kind of rattly. I didn't think much of it, but then the next day some of the frozen food was slowly thawing. I was also hearing a clicking noise every 15-30 minutes or more. I think it's...

I have read many threads that cover many parts of my problem. Sorry to start a new thread but wanted to be able to explain in detail what I am experiencing and how I got here. refrigerator seemed to be operating Ok holding 37 degrees. Freezer was a little warm at 7 degrees. Side by side middle...

I have a KitchenAid French Door Refrigerator, model KBFS20EVMS13. It recently stopped working (compressor wouldnt turn on), and I replaced the start relay (WPW10448874). The compressor started and fridge/freezer got cold. Freezer was down to about 10 degrees F before I went to bed. Everything...

I have a GE monogram fridge that has a compressor that runs very hot. Too hot to touch more than about 5 seconds. But it's definitely running, so not triggering the overheat protection. I inspected the condensor fan, and it is running. The frame in between the 2 compartments is warm, not hot...

Fan runs, but compressor not starting. Compressor tests okay with ohmmeter and getting 120V per red wire. I replaced the overload and what seemed to be a bad relay, but the compressor still fails to start. I tried testing the capacitor - seems okay via digital tests with ohmmeter. Is the...

Originally the unit was making a noise when turned off. I found a bad relay and ended up replacing the power/relay board. I also replaced the run capacitor as well. It now runs and removes water from the air. While I have the back off i found that the compressor now runs very hot. I cannot...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, signed up because of the great help I have read in the threads. Thank you all for this awesome resource! Long story short: Have an $800 paperweight, trying to fix it myself (since I already shelled out a lot of money to buy it, used). :wall: Problem: Not...

So I couldn't resist the free refrigerator on the list and they did say it was noisy. But it was so clean and outside and looking good I took it to my shop and plugged it in. Well, it gets cold and works but it has 2 unique sounds. I think both are from the compressor and one sounds like a...

Model Number: TSU-132 Brand: other Age: More than 10 years We bought a vintage Tri-State Electric MFG Company Freezer at an estate sale a few years ago and it has run perfectly until just this week. The freezer went off and it won't come back on. We think the relay switch may have gone out...

Arctic King MWK-25CRN1-MI4 Installed through the wall Two Years Old A week ago (06/15) I noticed after about ten minutes that the compressor did not turn off. I took the front grill and filter off, and noticed that the fins on the evaporator coil were frosted white. I tried turning the...

I just hooked up a new to me fridge and after 30 hours running the temperature in the fridge & freezer has only cooled to: freezer 5c (41f) and fridge 9c (48f). I can hear both the compressor and evaporator fan running and the compressor is warm (almost hot) to the touch. The seals look almost...

Friends, I have a Frigidaire, top freezer refrigerator which is just blowing room temperature air. I took the back panel off, took out the relay and the capacitor and tested them (continuity test for relay, ohm and voltage for capacitor) and they are working fine. I also tested out the...
