    FAD704DWD Frigidaire 70 pt. dehumidifier

    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...

    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...

    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...

    FIXED 795.72059110 Buzzing Motor Sound (audio attached)
