compressor

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...

We have a refrigerator/freezer side by side that recently stopped working. I have read all around the internet to diagnose and fix this problem, but with no luck. The fan in the freezer is working fine, however the coils are not getting cold. We have cats in the house, so the coils in the...

Bought this new in 2001 and have experienced ALL the problems possible: 1) refrigerator too cold because upper baffle/flap fails - replaced it 3 times 2) freezing water line - we let it thaw out on its own for several years before I installed the extra insulation kit 3) produce freezing in...

Good morning! We have an LG refrigerator that stopped cooling a couple days ago. The fan runs but the compressor (Embraco) is not starting. We hear a loud click that repeats every couple of minutes or so, but the compressor fails to start. We did remove the relay/overload protector/capacitor...

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...

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...

8 year old maytag starts knocking from compressor when fridge is opened quickly or shut hard. We unplug it for a minute, replug and it stops. Everything else is working fine. Heres a video of the noise.

The compressor seems to shut off in the middle of the day. The temperature is set at 0 for the Freezer and 38 for the fridge. During the day, it's almost as though the compressor shuts off and I see the temperature climb on both(recent readings are 18 for the Freezer and 42 for the Fridge)...
