Paul for Model Number PLRS267ZAB6 Twice in the past two months, we discovered a warm freezer and warm refrigerator. The first time, I pulled the plug to look at a few components and when I plugged it back it, the freezer and refrigerator sections both cooled down and seemed to operate normally. Over the next 2 months, the freezer started running at minus 5 to minus 20 degrees no matter how we adjusted the temperature control. Today we had our second warm freezer/fridge. We could hear what we believe is the compressor cycling on for about 10 seconds, every couple of minutes. I replaced the defroster thermostat but there was no build up of ice or frost on the defroster, and the cycling of the compressor still continues, with no cooling in either the freezer of fridge. Is the next logical component the control box? Thank you for your help!
Answer Hello Paul, Based on the information provided, you would either have a burnt relay or a failed compressor. If you pull the start relay off the compressor and look at it you may find a burn mark on the relay 5304491941. This burn mark will be on the side where the pins connect to the compressor. If the relay looks ok then you want to do an amp draw on the compressor. If you are getting more than 8 amps of draw then you have a failed compressor 5304475102. Read More...
