Randy for Model Number PSC23SGPASS Is it true the compressor overload is not suppose to rattle? My refrigerator stopped freezing and cooling. I purchased a compressor overload and start relay from another supplier. I received the parts and the compressor overload rattled. I replaced the parts either way and the refrigerator worked for a day or two. The refrigerator was running constantly and had a knocking noise approximately every five minutes. I figured the compressor overload was bad because it rattled. I purchased the compressor overload along with the start relay again but this time from ApplicancePartsPros.com. When I received the parts, the compressor overload rattled. I thought, what are the chances that the compressor overload rattled like the other one. I thought, maybe they rattle. I replaced the compressor overload and the start relay, plugged it in and the knocking started. I sat and waited. In approximately five minutes later, I heard the knocking sound. I waited again and I heard the knocking sound again. Was the compressor overload bad because it rattled? Will I be able to replace it?
Answer Randy, The compressor overload will have a slight rattle to it and it is not bad. Based on the situation it sounds like the compressor has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, April 27, 2021
