    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...

    ET1FHTXMQ01 Continuous Knocking Noise

    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...

    FIXED Refrigerator compressor and condenser fan shut off after two minutes

    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...

    Kenmore 253.79234703 Compressor won't start

    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...

    Condenser clicking but relay fine

    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...

    FIXED 795.72059110 Buzzing Motor Sound (audio attached)

    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...

    Compressor not starting

    I had noticed that the freezer was not keeping things cold over the last week or so. Finally, everything thawed. I also noticed that the compressor would try to turn on and would 'hum' or 'buzz' for about 15 seconds and then switch off. It would continue this buzzing every 5 min or so. I...

    Not cooling after power surge

    My 3 yr old Kenmore coldspot stopped cooling after a power outage so I figured it had to be due to an electrical component. Both the condenser and compressor fan run continually, but the compressor does not start, nor do i hear it trying to start. The compressor is also at room temp. A local...
