Matt July 11, 2014 for Model Number GSH25JFTA BB My refrigerator keeps tripping the breaker and won't start. It sparks every time you plug it into the wall all of a sudden. Just had it fixed. The defrost and the temperature sensor were replaced. Worked great for 4 days and now this.
1 Answer Hello Matt, This is impossible to diagnose without more details. I would start by looking at and around the last repair since this is the most logical place to start. Use your test meter at the plug, (with the unit unplugged and the meter set to the lowest resistance scale), since the short will read a very low resistance and when you unplug the responsible component, the short will disappear on the meter.

Leo March 02, 2014 for Model Number GSL25JFXB LB Refrigerator quit working with no warning-can you help diagnose and fix? In trying to eliminate an unpleasant odor near the unit I vacuumed the backside 'sealed unit' compartment using a shop vac with a crevice tool. The next day both the freezer and refrigerator compartments were not cooling. There is no frost in the unit. The condenser fan seems to work ok. The compressor seems to click on for an instant when the unit is plugged in then it immediately clicks off apparently, IE, does not start and run. My Refrigerator has a part mounted to the left side of the compressor (viewed from the rear) that has the date of May 2009 on it, where an overload relay with start capacitor might be found. Is it likely that you can help me diagnose and fix this problem?
1 Answer Leo, With the compressor making the clicking sound but not starting then the most likely cause will be the start relay on the compressor. Read More...
Erin January 26, 2014 for Model Number GE GSH22JFRE BB side by side My refrigerator / freezer is making a "click click click" sound prior to the compressor coming on. I am assuming it is the relay. Should the relay and overload both be replaced at the same time?
1 Answer Hello Erin, They do not have to be replaced at the same time but it is recommended by the manufacturer to replace the overload at the same time as the relay because of electrical and thermal stress on the components. Read More...
Ron December 12, 2013 for Model Number GSH25JFXBWW Refrigerator model# GSH25JFXBWW compressor start relay switch that I have took off doesn't match the one coming up on the website? It's definitely not WR07X10084. Help!

Scott July 23, 2013 for Model Number pss26mswa Hello. I am just asking a question to make sure. My refrigerator stays cool for 5 to 6 days. Then seems to start warming up a few degrees at a time. I unplug the refrigerator. Wait an hour plug it back in and it is fine. I am thinking compressor relay. Please advise if I am incorrect.
1 Answer Hello Scott. It sounds like the main control board WR55X10942C on the back of the unit is bad and needs to be replaced. You are resetting the board by doing that. 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...
Paul April 27, 2013 for Model Number gsl25igre bs The freezer will not defrost correctly, resulting in ice build up on the coils. someone told me about a possible problem with a timer? Please let me know, if possible, the best route to take. thanks.
1 Answer Paul, If the unit is not defrosting then you will want to check the continuity of the defrost heater and bimetal. If they have continuity then the most likely cause of failure would be the defrost thermistor. This unit does not incorporate a defrost timer but uses the main control board to go into the defrost. It has 4 components of the defrost, the control board, defrost thermistor, defrost heater and limit thermostat/bimetal. The most likely cause of failure will be either the heater or the thermistor.

Rolando September 18, 2011 for Model Number pss26nswass I had moved the fridge to clean up 4 year old work. Perfect after move fridge, it stop working all electrical on front of nor motor turn on. Could the Relay Start be the problem and how could I can test it?
1 Answer Hi Rolando. Did you remove the back and see if the electrical connector has simply unhooked itself? If not, you may need the compressor relay assy. part # is WR07X10084. Have you removed a door hinge cover also? There are elect. connections there that will disconnect and stop supply of the fountian controls. Have you tried to test the cord or the outlet for 120vac? The cord is part # WR23X10300. Read More...
