Sarah W for Model Number PLH269ZDB1 Frigidaire refrigerator is not cooling. Freezer side has totally defrosted. Slight cooling on fridge side. The motor has a click when it is trying to come on, runs for maybe 30 seconds and clicks back off. We were looking at the site and thought maybe we should replace the compressor run capacitor, but am not sure. Any ideas?
Answer Sarah, Based on the description of the problem the run capacitor would not be the issue. If the compressor comes on but shuts off after 30 seconds then the run winding on the compressor is faulty and would need to be replaced. If the relay comes on and clicks after 30 seconds then the relay would be faulty. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, August 15, 2014
