Nikolce P Miami , FL October 26, 2018 Appliance: Samsung Side By Side Refrigerator RS2630SH/XAA Replaced a defective compressor After the OEM MK Type of compressor replacement I used aftermarket "Three In One" starter relay. Noticed that the Compressor current ran higher than the OEM Compressor datasheet. Removed the aftermarket start relay and Replaced it with the the OEM Relay PTC, OLP and capacitor. The Compressor current dropped from 2.14A to 1.45A which was right where supposed to be by the datasheet.

Shaun J Wichita , KS December 06, 2015 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RS253BASB/XAA Clicking relay and non running compressor I found this used fridge at a local home improvement store and brought it home only to find that the compressor did not run, but the relay on the side clicked. After checking the resistance of the compressor coils, I purchased a start relay, start capacitor, and compressor overload relay. I don't know which one fixed the problem, but for very little money and effort, I have a great fridge! Read More...

Paul H Ottawa Lake , MI September 26, 2015 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RS2555SL/XAA Refrigerator and freezer not cooling The unit passed its self tests so the control board was probably ok. The unit was in start mode as per the service manual and the compressor was silent. Replaced the start relay and the capacitor and the problem was fixed. The cap seemed ok (not bulged out) but I replaced it anyway as it wasn't expensive and I had no way to test it. Read More...
