compressor

I bought this old Hotpoint refrigerator as a project fridge. I turned it into this airtight temperature regulated beer fermentation chamber. I do not know about refrigerators, only how to build. This is the setup. -I have the fridge plugged into a temperature regulation device (grey box...

GE space-maker TBF12DJD 1982, oldie but goodie until now. Wife said it was making noise "laboring/straining" so she shut it down for a couple hours, by turning the temp wheels down. Since we turned back on, there is a hum, but not the usual sound. I have adjusted controls (on off) switched the...

I have a Kitchenaid KSRS25ILWH02 side by side fridge. About three months ago I came back from 2 weeks' vacation and everything in the fridge was frozen. We opened up the fridge door for an hour, then everything seemed to be ok. About a month later there was water on the floor. I could see...

I got my Gladiator freezerator 8/15/05. It was in our garage then when we moved, it was in our tackroom for a year. We moved it almost 2 months ago into our mudroom. Last night I noticed it was running a lot. The fan is running constantly and every 2 minutes the compessor kicks on for only 5-7...

I purchased this freezer from Craigslist (cheap enough to warrant it not working). No idea on the age. I'm thinking later 50's/early 60's? Tyler Model FS25 I was told the plug shocked you when you plugged it in so I just got done replacing and grounding it. He stated it worked 2 years...

This is a friendly cautionary tale for anyone in the market for a refrigerator. (1) A little more than four years after I bought an Amana French Door refrigerator (Model # AFI2538AEQ), the ice-maker quit, and a replacement was no longer available. Whirlpool--which now owns Amana and several...

Hoping for some repair direction, before I break down and get a tech in. We have a KSCS25INSS01 fridge, Service Sheet 2223419V. A few days ago I noticed the side-by-side wall getting warm. Took it out and sure enough, while the compressor was chugging away the fan wasn't going, and the...

Hello, I have a 5yr and 2 month (JUST out of extended warranty) Kenmore Elite fridge that has stopped working. Both the condenser and evaporator fans are running, the compressor "sounds" like it is running (slightly warm and vibrates a bit). I have removed the started relay and it doesnt make...

Greetings, I have a Admiral side by side refrigerator, model number LSD2615HEZ. This summer we found the everything melting in the freezer and the compressor was cycling on and off, with a buzzing, every few minutes. It was very hot too. We thought it was due to a "brown out" here in NJ, with...

I have a Kenmore 106 series top-mount refrigerator, model 70192001 that is not powering on. The lights are working, but the condenser and compressor fans are not running. I do not hear any clicking or attempts by the fridge to start up. This fridge was working a few days ago and stopped after...

A few weeks ago, my fridge (MZD2665HEB) stopped working. I noticed the dreaded buzz/click coming from the compressor area about every minute or so, but the compressor would not start. I installed a new PTC and the fridge started working again. However, I noticed that the defrost cycle occurs...

I just replaced our dead garage fridge with a craigslist gem. its a traditional freezer top/ fridge bottom. It worked fine for the first few weeks. The last couple weeks i had noticed the temperature was not consistently cold. in frustration one evening i knocked upward on the interior...

This is a french door, freezer on the bottom model with water & ice in the door, sold exclusively by Lowes. We bought it in May 2011. Within a few weeks we began to notice a very loud, variable speed buzzing noise that spins up late at night, usually between 11pm and midnight. It lasts for 20-30...

My brother's side by side recently (and suddenly) stopped cooling well. The compressor is humming away in the back. I removed the starting relay device and while there does seem to be a small rattle when shaking it and its camel-backed capacitor, it seems to successfully start the compressor...

The top and bottom fans are both working. The inside light is working too. When I plug the refrigerator in the wall both fans immediately start running and never stop. The compressor does absolutely nothing. The only sound in that area is coming from the fan. (Seems to me anyway) I've read a...

The compressor in my Maytag refrigerator is "clicking" on and off. I changed the relay/overload device, and the problem is still the same. I can feel the overload device is hot and stops the compressor from working. I also measured the resistance between the three terminals of the compressor...

Hello, This is my situation: my Kenmore 596.52672200 stopped cooling after 7 years of service. You could hear the compressor click-hum every few seconds. So after reading the posts here I changed the start relay and capacitor, after I cleaned the dirty bottom coils. that done it worked for 3...

Hello. My fridge Amana DRS2662AC stopped cooling. I replaced the PTC relay and overload. Still same problem. Any other inxpensive item that can be replaced before the compressor to see if it resolves the issue? Any advice is appreciated...Thanks!!

Maytag..... MSD2660KGB --->purchased at Home Depot in early 2008. Both sides of the fridge stopped cooling. The digital temp display is blank and I checked for voltage on display board but nothing. The water fountain lights and the light bulbs inside the fridge work. I pulled and checked the...
