Harry for Model Number ER8GHKXMS00 Long story short. Fridge was clicking the other day and later in the day found that the fridge was hot on both top and bottom. Was able to get the cover off the compressor and disconnected the Relay. Shook it and it rattled like crazy. Replaced the relay this evening and the freezer is working fine. The fridge is lagging behind but is cooling okay. I did notice that the compressor is hotter than all get out. You can only put your hand on it for about 7-10 seconds due to the extreme heat. Is this okay or is there something else that could be failing?
Answer Hello Harry. Yes, It is normal for the compressor to get very hot to the touch. This is the process of removing the heat from the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, June 24, 2014
