Rooster October 03, 2012 for Model Number GS5SHGXLS01 8201786 put this part on. Compressor not running. Ohm meter pegs out when leads touch the 2 side by side pins on compressor. I think compressor is gone. Can I return 8201786? What is your thought on compressor?
1 Answer Hello Rooster. Yes, you can return the part. Based on the information you provided. If there is power to the compressor, and it does not run with new start device, you have a bad compressor and it needs to be replaced.

Snailsurfer July 09, 2012 for Model Number ED5JHAXML00 The model number mentioned is a Whirlpool side by side fridge. I have noticed a clicking sound coming from under the unit. The condenser fan (underneath fridge) is running, but the air is not warm, more like room temperature. The freezer side is noticed first, getting warm. Sometimes the compressor runs, and when does, it cools well. Am I having a problem with the compressor, or do I need a capacitor to start the motor?
1 Answer Hello Snailsurfer. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the compressor is bad on the unit. It sounds like the compressor is building pressure and kicking on the overload until it finally equalizes and starts to run again. You will need to replace the compressor kit W10309994. Read More...
David July 05, 2012 for Model Number ED5RHEXNL03 I have a Whirlpool side by side refrigerator. Neither the freezer or refrigerator get cold. I have replaced the compressor start relay, part number 8201786, but that did not help. The compressor run continuously, and gets hot to the touch. The fan is operating correctly, and I can feel air being blowed into the freezer compartment, just warm air. Could the compressor be bad, or is there something else I can check? Thanks in advance!!
1 Answer David, Have you removed the rear wall of the freezer compartment and checked for frost/ice on the evaporator coil, Did you check the thermostat wiring or the heater element for voltge, when the compressor is running ? You may have a faulty defrost timer or circuit 4388932 , causing the defrost heater to energize and the fridge would be trying to cool and defrost at the same time. Read More...
