Rick December 26, 2013 for Model Number er8ghkxms00 The overload relay keeps kicking off. Is there any way to test it or do you just have to try a new one part # 2214067?

John November 04, 2013 for Model Number EHL151FXRQ00 The compressor seems to run all the time and even with the thermostat turned to coldest setting the food is just frozen and not rock hard frozen. I checked the compressor the run- common- start resistance equals to @ 12.7 ohms . The overload had continuity and the relay measured @ 10.5 ohms. There is nothing accessible to clean as far as coils. What might you think the problem is or what else should I check. Thanks.
1 Answer John, You will want to check the evaporator coils for being impacted with ice or only a partial frost pattern. The partial frost pattern may be a sealed system issue and if the coils are impacted with ice the a defrost issue. You would need to do a continuity test on the defrost heater and thermostat. If they have continuity then the defrost control would be the issue. The overload and relay would not be the problem with the compressor running all the time. Read More...
John G November 03, 2013 for Model Number EHL151FXRQ00 The chest freezer compressor runs constantly and even at the coldest setting the food is barely frozen. The seals are clean and close tightly. I checked compressor resistance between run-common-start it is around 12.7 ohms they added up correctly. Checked compressor relay it was around 10.5 ohms the overload had continuity. What do you think is wrong. Thank you.
1 Answer John, Based on the compressor continuously running and the compressor checking ok then it sounds like the unit may have a leak of the refrigerant. You can do a amp draw and see what the amp draw on the compressor is. If the amp draw is higher than 1.0 amps then it may have a restriction and if lower than .5 amps then it would be a leak.

Art June 15, 2013 for Model Number ET8GTMXKQ00 UNIT RUNS AND WE HAVE ICE..IT SEEMS COLD BUT NOT AS COLD AS IT ONCE WAS..WE CLEANED THE COILS IN BACK AND WE DO THIS ABOUT ONCE A YEAR..IT WASN'T VERY DIRTY..THE REFRIG CYCLES ON AND OFF..OR MAYBE IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO SWITCH ON AND OFF AND THEN QUITS...IT COMES BACK ON IN ABOUT 10 MIN...IT DOES THIS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY...WHAT DO YOU THINK ?
1 Answer Art, If you have the proper power supply (120 VAC) at the outlet, then you may have a weak overload WP2214067 or start relay WP2262181 . There is the possibility that there is a sealed system failure(inefficient compressor or restricted system). and this would require a licensed, certified technician to repair. Read More...
Scott T. April 12, 2013 what should the ohm readings be for the overload and start relay and capacitor . freezer is warming blowing cold not freezing turn temp control to off and it shut off turn a little and on right away compressor warm to touch not sure what terminals to put ohm meter wires on and should they read 0 ?
1 Answer Scott, You should have no 0 (infinite resistance) "open" circuit readings. The overload WP2214067 should have a "closed" circuit (000) across the terminals at all times. The capacitor WPW10662129 when tested, your meter will deflect towards a "closed" circuit, then drop back down to 0 (infinite resistance). You'll need to remove the the start relay W10920279 from the compressor and test from the top pin (c) to the pin on the bottom left(start) and you should read 3 to 11 ohms. and from the top pin to the the bottom right pin (run) should read 1 to 6 ohms resistance. Make sure you label or mark the wires when you remove them from the terminals on the components. Read More...
David July 11, 2012 for Model Number ER6AHKXPQ02 Came home to a warm refrigerator . ice cream melted. I hear a click now an then but no compressor er6ahkxpq02 How do I test or what part do I start replacing?

Frank May 14, 2012 for Model Number IT18SKXRD00 I have relay and overload all in one on my refrigerator. Do I need to purchase the two parts separately to replace this? Also, do they fit together as one? Mine looks like your picture of relay/overload all-in-one.
Jeff March 17, 2012 for Model Number A9RXNMFWSOO Fridge just stoped working. Nothing.Compressor won't even try to start. Could this be Relay&Overload or Overload?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. Test for power to the compressor. If there is no power, the timer WP2314156 or the thermostat WP2204605 may be bad. Try turning the timer and see if the unit comes on. If so, replace the timer. If not, then the thermostat may be the problem. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
