Craig November 29, 2022 for Model Number GFSS6KKYCSS My relay has two wires attached, Sky Blue and a pink/blue wire, then it plugs into the bottom two pins on the compressor. When I traced these two wires they go into the compartment above that also houses the main board. the two wires go into the capacitor. How does the capacitor get its power, can I test if it is getting pwr? Thanks
1 Answer The power comes from the main board. The manufacturer suggested testing the compressor circuit: Read between CN1 pin# 1 (L1) on the power supply board to CN71 pin# 7. The test will show 120 VAC if the board wants the compressor to run. If 120 VAC is shown when testing then the capacitor is getting power. Read More...
1 Answer Craig, Thanks for the question!!! The manufacturer does not provide any specifications for testing the PTC. The only thing you can really verify on the PTC is continuity. The manufacturer suggested testing is for the compressor circuit: Read between CN1 pin# 1 (L1) on the power supply board to CN71 pin# 7. The test will show 120 VAC if the board wants the compressor to run. From my experiences, I have never had to replace a failed PTC. Read More...
Al February 07, 2022 for Model Number GSS25VGMBWW I have tried to remove the relay cover and am having a very hard time. There is a little bump o top and it shows to force that to make it come off..A little part broke on the bump and I don't know what to do.
1 Answer Al, if you place a flat head screwdriver in between the compressor and cover, the screwdriver can be rotated to lift up on the cover so that it can be removed. Read More...
1 Answer Harry, with access to the compressor compartment and the appliance power cord unplugged, the relay WR07X10112 would be pulled off of the compressor and the new one put in place. The wires can then be transferred to the new one. Read More...
