Craig for Model Number LSC27590SW Had power outage and when power came back on fridge still off. I unplugged it plugged back in and it started back up. Worked fine for a about a week then shut off for no reason. Unplugged and plugged back in and worked for about a day. Now power only stays on for a few minutes tops. I checked the main board and fuse is fine, everything else looks fine however one of the capacitors has a very slight bulge on the top, it's a 400w 68uf capacitor. Like I said when I unplug and plug back in the fridge kicks on, I can hear clicking noises from the circuits on the board. Could it be the capacitor that is going bad or do you think possibly overload protector or thermister?
Answer Craig, Whenever a component or tracer on a PC board is discolored, distorted, or damaged, you need to start by replacing the PCB. A "bulging" capacitor would indicate a problem, and when attempting to discharge the stored power it may or may not work properly, and/or once discharged, it wont recover and will not supply the power to the circuit. Replace the control board, if there is a problem, then diagnose the remainder of the circuits. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, December 11, 2018
