David for Model Number LFD22860ST So my fridge is not getting cold enough...I checked and the compressor was not running. I found a faulty PTC start relay and the overload was cracked so I change both components. Now the fridge kind of works...Every so often when the compressor goes to start it tries but it does not get there and the overload trips. Once I notice this I unplug the fridge and plug it in again. This forces the fridge to restart and all is OK until the next time. Is this another faulty start relay or is my compressor on the way out. I OHMED out the compressor and the resistance values look OK. One thing I did notice is that the compressor does make an internal knocking sound even when it is only slightly moved around. Not sure what this means. Like when you open and close the freezer drawer the compressor makes a knocking sound. Thanks for any insight. Cheers.
Answer David, As far as the internal knocking noise, that would be normal. For this issue though, it does sound like the compressor is on the way out. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, February 6, 2020
