compressor

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...

I have an Idylis portable air conditioner and when turned on, the compressor runs for about 30-60 seconds before shuttering to a stop (the fans still run continuously). While the compressor is running, cold air is coming out of the unit and generally runs long enough to bring the room...

For weeks, my 5 year old window air conditioner made a loud buzzing noise when the cooling compressor kicked in - Then would be fine and cooled until it shut off silently - But then when the thermostat said it was ready to cool for the compressor to turn on, again the buzzing sound (like at the...

Hey guys, Been doing some homework on this but I'm stumped. Any advice is appreciated. Had a lightning storm. ( not sure if that is related) Compressor started to click and fridge stopped working. Click... humm... click. So, I went to google and decided to change the start device. it looked...

Surprised this wasn't in the FAQ or a sticky... My Frigidaire LFHT2117LW8 stopped cooling yesterday. No warning, wife opened the door to find melted ice cream. Checked all things I know to check: Temp control is good (continuity test), Starter is good, relay tests good. Both fans are running...

My fridge makes a loud continuous knocking noise from time to time and I believe it comes from somewhere around the compressor. This knocking noise could last for about a minute or so. The friend whom I bought this fridge from had the same issue, but I didn't have it for a few months. Recently...

Both shut off after two minutes. If I unplug and wait 30 seconds and plug in again, will start up and do the same thing. Heard one clicking noise first time it happened, but nothing since. Electrolux fridge/freezer. Compressor is not hot or making much noise. Pressure is good on high and low...

13-year old cooler no longer cools. Thermostat OK. With power on, cannot hear compressor, or feel any vibration, but compressor gets so hot that it cannot be touched. The lines leading to the compressor also get hot. When I first turn the compressor on, after it has cooled off, I can talk...

Okay so I need some help.:wall: The compressor on my fridge will not start/turn on. We replaced the inverter board because it shorted out. We also replace the compressor because it was testing out at 2.9 ohms on the windings. Today I had a new compressor installed, testing at 6.9 on the...

Hello, we have a kenmore 253.7923470 refridgerator. The fan runs but the compressor does not start. There is no clicking sound from the relay. From other posts it would seem we need either a new starter (241524605) or a new capacitor (218909913) or both. Is there a way to test which we would...

Hi! New to this forum. I tried a search but didn't find my problem. I had the compressor replaced about a year and a half ago, and everything was fine. Now the ice maker stopped making ice, and the freezer and refrigerator are not as cold as they should be (I don't have specific temps) but they...

This is on a Whirlpool GD5RHAXNQ00 side by side refrigerator. A couple days ago I heard a clicking from the back of the unit. Read up on it and thought it might be the start relay/overload switch. Took it to an appliance parts store and the guy tested it with a voltmeter. They were fine...

Hi I have a Danby wine cooler, model DBC514BLS The fridge is not staying cool. From what I can tell all the fan are running, the power works ok. And I can change the temperture on the display. I brought it in from my freezing cold garage today. And i set the temperature to 4°C and it started...

Our refrigerator began buzzing this morning. It seems to be related to the compressor as it's coming from the back of the unit and spins down when the door is opened or the power is removed and spins back up a few moments after power is restored and the door is shut. It's less than two years...
