Karen for Model Number 106-57715700 I have a Kenmore Elite Coldspot refrigerator, Model 106-57715700, that seems to be in perfect working order except it no longer gets cold/the compressor isn't working at all. I was told to check the start dev (part 2304885) to see if it rattles. Could that part still be bad even if its not rattling/should I still order a new one? or is something else wrong? (I am on a fixed income/trying to save money but i'm not very mechanically inclined.)
Answer Hello Karen. If the start device is bad, you would hear noise from the compressor and a click. If there is no power to the compressor, then we have other issues. Most likely, the main board WP2321711 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
