George S Richardson , TX January 16, 2017 Appliance: Model MCBR1020W, MAGIC CHEF REFRIGERATOR Clicking sound neither freezer nor refrigerator cooling I read the Q & A section from your website and I read several stories from people who had experienced the same problem that I was having. Appliance Parts Techs answer was a bad Ptc Starter. I used your website to look up the part, I ordered a new part. When I received the part it only took a few minutes to remove the old one and install the new Ptc Starter from AppliancePartsPros.com. When I plugged the unit in, the compressor kicked in immediately and it has been 6 days and the unit is working great. Thanks Appliance Parts Pros.

Michael T Washington , UT October 01, 2018 Appliance: Magic Chef Refrigerator MCBR1020W The compressor would not run, it was making a clicking noise about every 30 seconds I replaced both the Ptc starter or the motor protector. I found a post online through a Google search that said it was likely either one of those parts.

Dennis S Sun City , CA September 27, 2016 Appliance: Model MAGIC CHEF MCBR1020W My secondary refrigerator stopped cooling I googled it. I went on line and found a repair video of a similar refrigerator and found that quite often one little part, start relay, prevents the compressor from kicking on. I located the part in my unit, removed and ordered a new one. When the new part arrived it was fixed in minutes. Going on line and educating myself, an hour or two. Accomplishing the repair, less than an hour, finding the part, removing, ordering new and reinstallation.
