Jimmy May 05, 2023 for Model Number 25344723100 Refrigerator stopped running. No fans are running and the compressor will not start. There is a barely audible chatter noise coming from near the compressor when standing in front of the refrigerator when I turn the thermostat on. Sound goes away when I turn the thermostat off. Possible bad start relay and/or run capacitor? Any suggestions?
Denise April 15, 2023 for Model Number WSF26C2EXW01 Freezer does not freeze, stays cool with temp @50. Technician replaced Compressor start device but still did not work. He didn't know the exact problem and wanted to replace other parts at a charge with no guarentee would work. I declined not wanted to put more money into his trail and error
1 Answer Denise, It sounds like you may have a leak somewhere in the sealed system and would require a technician to determine where the leak is to repair the product. Read More...

Greg January 17, 2016 for Model Number RT18DKXKQ00 How to hook up new overload 4387938? Old relay had 2 wires from capacitor. Replacement only has one terminal. Thanks for the help
1 Answer Greg, The capacitor can be eliminated from the relay on the unit. Just plug up the lead wire that goes to the capacitor into the relay and the other wire to the overload. Read More...
Joyce May 19, 2014 for Model Number 106720120 This 40+ year old freezer keeps warming up. When I turn it off for an hour or so then back on, the compressor kicks in and it freezes just fine - when it gets down to temperature and turns off, it will NEVER COME ON AGAIN until I go through the process (turn off, wait) again. It makes clicking sounds, but the compressor will not come on. I was told it was the thermostat, which is no longer available, but it sounds like it might be the relay - which IS available. Any thoughts? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Joyce. Based on the information you provided, it is neither. The clicking is due to a bad compressor. The reason it will work when you turn it off for about an hour is the pressure equalizes and the compressor can start. Read More...
Brian February 14, 2013 for Model Number 1067657140 Hello. I have an older GE Coldspot refrigerator that needs the start relay replaced. I ordered part #4318083 but I'm not sure how to connect the wires. I have 1 white wire going to the common terminal on the compressor and 1 small red wire that connects to what I think is the overload. A larger red wire comes out of the overload and connects to the start relay. How do I hook up the new start relay? Thanks, Brian.
1 Answer Hello Brian. The model number you provided is for a whirlpool built Kenmore unit. We can not get the wiring diagrams for Kenmore models to help with this. You will need to look on the unit for the wiring diagram. Read More...
Jimmy January 26, 2013 for Model Number 106.720124 I just purchased part no 4318083 relay starter for a older model. I have a red and white wire from the plug but the new relay has 3 prongs for hookup. 1 on the left and 2 on the right. The instructions are worthless and do not say which wire goes where. Any assistance would be appreciated
1 Answer Hello Jimmy, The red wire will go to the white overload and the white wire will go to the right hand side of the relay. Read More...
