Stephen May 30, 2016 for Model Number m6y12f2a-c My maytag a/c was working fine, then it started growling to the point it woke me up and I turned it off. The nest morning I went to turn it on and it started vibrating and growling and then it tripped the breaker. I reset the breaker and touched the a/c and I felt electrical current in my hand. So its unplgged and I am troubleshooting it. I think it cooked the capacitor?
1 Answer Hello Stephen. You will need to check the fan motors and the compressor on the unit. You can also test the capacitors. 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...
George July 31, 2015 for Model Number FAM157S1A14 The compressor stays on all the time even when the unit is turned off. The only way to shut off the compressor is to unplug the unit. How can I fix it, what part needs to be replaced and where can I get it?
1 Answer George, With the compressor staying on continuously, this would be an issue with the relay for the compressor sticking on the main control board. The part number you would need to replace is 5304465421. Read More...

Ben September 18, 2014 for Model Number FRT-14TAL-0 This is a followup to a question I asked yesterday. I installed the part but am still having the problem. The compressor has readings of 13, 11, and 3 ohms. I'm wondering if the overload might be bad? The overload gives a reading of 1 ohm. It uses freon-12 so I don't think I'd want to try to replace the compressor if it's bad. (This was the question I asked yesterday: How do you wire this part. there's a black wire coming from the overload that I assume goes on to the new relay. I'm not sure which 2 pins on the compressor that the new relay goes onto or where the white wire attaches. Ben for Model Number FRT-14TAL-0 ANSWER Hello Ben. The compressor should have 3 post. The overload will go on the single post and the relay goes onto the double post. Back wire to the overload and white wire to number 2 of the relay. Thanks.

1 Answer Hello Ben. No, if the problem is still there then the compressor is bad on the unit. Read More...

Gloria May 11, 2014 for Model Number GFU17M4GW0 My freezer runs fine then all of a sudden there is a build up of frost and then it turns off. Thank you
1 Answer Gloria, If you are getting a frost build up on the back wall and the unit shuts off like it is defrosting but never comes back on then the issue may be caused by a defrost timer that is sticking in the defrost cycle. Read More...
Alberto May 09, 2014 for Model Number IS25Cfxt001 Hi, my whirlpool refrigerator freezer stopped freezing. Only cools. This happened once before and I replaced the starter relay and it worked. This time after replacing the relay the freezer still only cools. Could it be the compressor? The fridge temp and freezer both maxed and not cooling properly either. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Alberto. Check and make sure the condenser coils are clean and the condenser fan motor is running. If so, then it sounds like an HVAC issue and you will need a certified tech to repair the unit. Read More...
Alex T December 05, 2013 I'm not sure of the model number of the fridge, but it stopped cooling. I cleaned coils, nothing. So I started prying the starter relay off and it literally fell apart. The part number 2183409 which is labeled as "overload" rattles too. I put it on my meter and there is continuity. Is there another way to test that component? Thanks, Alex
1 Answer Hello Alex. No, it sounds like the overload is testing good, but the relay is bad. I usually replace both parts as they work together. Read More...
Jdnv February 06, 2013 for Model Number fpw18 tpwi My Frigidaire elite does not maintain constant temp.
1 Answer Hello JDVN. If there is no defrost issue, and everything is working good on the unit, it sounds like the thermostat 5303305486 may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. It reads the temp inside the unit and runs the compressor according to the temp inside the unit. Read More...
