Bruce February 20, 2012 for Model Number Gs5shgxLQ00 My refrigerator is cool running okay, however, I noticed a frequent clicking noise at the rear right near compressor. Could this be the ptc relay? If this is the part I need, I would like to get the correct part that doesnt require cutting any wires, (if available). Thanks
1 Answer Hello Bruce. The click heard about every 3 to 5 minutes is going to be the overload opening from excessive current flow and then closing again. Most of the time replacing the start relay and overload corrects this problem. Be aware though, if the new relay fails soon after replacement,(within a few hours), the unit could have a bad compressor.To replace the start device without any harness modifications, I would order part number 8201786, and use the parts that resemble the ones on your unit now. This kit I provided the part number for includes 2 different start devices and the individual start relay and overload. The additional parts are extra and will not be used. Sure hope this helps!

Chuck September 21, 2011 for Model Number ED5SHEXKQ00 Fridge is 9 years old and quit cooling. I hear the compressor clicking on & off every minute or so. The compressor does get warm. Should I try to repair with start relay and overload switch or is the compressor most likely bad.

Steven July 29, 2011 for Model Number ED5GTQXKT00 Was working fine, suddenly kicked the ground fault. I changed to a different area and still did it as soon as it is turned on. What can it be?

Hvu July 17, 2011 for Model Number gs5shaxnb00 My whirlpool is on but not cold. The fan is on but the compressor was really not early. It make the clicking noise every 5-10 minutes but the compresor do not seem to start. I am looking for the original replacement for the overload/relay for my compressor. Do you know the exact item number?
Terry L. June 08, 2011 for Model Number ED5PHAXMB00 How do you plug the existing wiring socket into the new relay setup?
1 Answer Hello Terry. Some of these require cutting the connector off and crimping terminals onto the wires for installation. Hope this helps. Read More...
Johnny March 08, 2011 Okay then. Are you saying this is an updated part then, and there is no need to use a capacitor, or that this part itself may be different because the capacitor does not connect to it? Thanks alot.
1 Answer Hello Johnny. This is an updated part that replaces the old start device, and it does not require a capacitor. Hope this helps. Read More...
Johnny March 07, 2011 Does the capacitor connect to the back of this relay. My capacitor connects to the back of the relay it has two male plugs on the capacitor and the relay should have two female plugs. Then theres a male plug that plugs into this relay.
