Hand May 09, 2020 for Model Number LFX25971ST I bought a compressor starter relay part# WR07X10097 for my GE refrigerator moder LFX25971ST and serial# 804KRSB00286. Do a starter relay part # WR07X10097 needs a capacitor to install with it just like a original TSD one ?
1 Answer Hand, The ptc and overload that you received WR07X10097 is not a direct replacement for this unit but may work. It does not require a capacitor for the unit. Read More...
Bradley September 16, 2018 for Model Number LMX25981ST Hello, My 10 year old Lg French door fridge is making a clicking noise every couple of minutes followed by a second click 30 seconds later. Cooling I have cleaned out the condenser coils etc in the back. When the fridge is pulled out the freezer and fridge compartments are kept at their set temp but as soon as the fridge is moved back into its normal space between to sets of cupboards both fridge/freezer won't stay cool. Is this a relay/capacitor issue or the compressor being shot? I have contacted Lg but they don't carry parts for my model any longer!
1 Answer Bradley, you need to replace the start relay, part number 6749C-0014E, when you take the relay off, if it rattles it is bad. If the compressor will ot start after you replace the relay, you may have a bad compressor. Read More...
Andrew June 30, 2017 for Model Number GDSC0KCXCRWW My refrigerator will not stabilize temperature on the low side. I shoot for 37F refrigerator and 5F freezer. It can stabilize at 32 in the refrigerator but when I try to lower the temp it falls off completely and does not cool. Sometimes if I disconnect the plug it will start up again. I replaced the control board and it is a somewhat better but not functioning normally. I do hear a hum before the compressor comes on. Is this normal? What other parts could I try to replace? The capacitor, the relay, vacuum clean the refrig tubes? Refrigerator is GDSC0KCXCRWW SCErial number is MT308651
1 Answer Andrew, If the unit is operating properly when set to 32 degrees but not at 37 degrees then this would most likely either be a thermistor issue or a bad main control board. When replacing the main control board, if there is an instruction sheet you will want to make sure that you do what the instructions state. Read More...
Saul December 15, 2016 for Model Number GE Bottom freezee Refrigerator model #GFSS6KIXASS 25.8 cubic ft The refrigerator is running loud and not cooling enough. It usually maintains 38°F but now temperature running between 55° -60°F. Freezer is running fine so far. The compressor is running and the fan is running, could it be the relay that needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Saul, You should check the frost pattern on the evaporator coils behind the back freezer wall. This sounds like you may have a sealed system issue. Read More...
Bob November 14, 2016 for Model Number LFC23760SB I received a start relay, capacitor and overload protector for my LG refrigerator LFC23760SB and they did not match what my fridge has. I called in and Kaitlyn assisted but said those were the only parts listed for my LG model. I found part AP4300623 is an exact match to what I have and part AP4591436 matches the capacitor I have. I will call in to see about returning my parts and ordering these but before I do can you answer the following questions. Is there a start relay that goes with the AP4300623 unit and can you provide me with the part number? BTW my symptom is that I hear 2 or 3 spaced out clicks before the compressor kicks in on the unit. Temps seem OK and coils are clean but I thought the start relay and other parts may take care of the issue before something bad happens. Thanks, Bob
1 Answer Bob, The PTC And Overload WR07X10097 which is the overload and relay assembly and there would not be a additional relay for the unit. Read More...
M Bristol August 30, 2016 for Model Number PFS22SISBSS Hello, just received our relay overload start switch for or PFS22SISBSS GE refrigerator. Unfortunately we didn't have the foresight to label the blue and black wires before disconnecting the original faulty relay overload. Which wire plugs in where?
1 Answer M. Bristol, The black wire will go to the outer most terminal closest to the edge and the blue wire will go to the inner terminal. Read More...
Troy July 20, 2016 for Model Number ge refigerator Water pipe burst and flooded room compressor got wet, once dried out . pluged in , fan runs but compressor dosent come on----suggesttions please
1 Answer Hello Troy. You will need to test and see where your losing power at for the unit. You will use a meter to test and see where the power loss is at. Read More...
David July 20, 2016 for Model Number 253.78882014 comp.has clicking sound and not cooling. can you put a universal 3 in 1 pack on it instead of the relay.
Yorisimo May 25, 2016 for Model Number PFS22SISBSS Fridge had been hot at sides for a while. Finally temperature in freezer and fridge became erratic and then wouldn't cool. Fridge was very dusty around condenser fan and condenser. Condenser fan was very slow. Ptc + olp assembly was cracked. Capacitor measured fine on ohm setting but do not have capacitance setting. Ordered and replaced main control board, ptc+olp and condenser fan and cleaned dust from condensor and fan blades. The new ptc+olp I received rattled when shook and did not read 10-100 ohms across any of the pairs of contacts. Based on a youtube video this was evidence of a faulty relay. Should I see 10-100 ohms between two of the 3 contacts on the ptc+olp assembly ( with/without capacitor)? Despite suspecting a bad new part I replaced along with fan and main control board. Fridge ran fine and got down to correct temperature overnight. Next day fridge is back to higher than normal temperature and compressor is quite hot and not always running despite not reaching set temperature.
1 Answer Hello Yorisimo. It sounds like the compressor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Johnrue July 13, 2015 for Model Number PFS22SISBSS Had clicking and compressor not starting replaced the original relay and overload with wr07x10097. Worked for 3 days freeezer and fridge at correct temps then realized freezer started to ice up (never had happened) and fridge started heating up and compressor was hot to the touch. When I rechecked install of wr07x10097 realized I had not connected the ground wire back to the overload housing. Just reconnected it and am letting everything de-ice. Could this failing to have grounded the capacitor/overload have cause the malfunctions just described?
1 Answer Johnrue, No the ground wire not being attached would not cause the coils for the evaporator to ice up. You will want to check the defrost limiter and defrost thermostat for continuity. If they have continuity then test the defrost sensor for resistance. If they do not have continuity then the part would need replaced. If you need to test the sensor the resistance readings should be as follows, at 77 degrees resistance 5K ohms, 37 degrees resistance 14.4K ohms and at 0 degrees resistance 42.2K ohms. If outside of these readings then the sensor is bad and if this checks ok then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
