Manny October 22, 2011 for Model Number GS6SHAXMT00 Replaced the capacitor and start & overload relay but still compressor wont run. I hear a clicking sound seems to be coming from the relay and circuit board area?
1 Answer Hi Manny. If the clicking is coming out of the adaptive defrost board from the inside fresh food area/damper area, then you will replace the ADC control part # 4388932. The relay starts the compressor for operation. The relay WR07X26749 has a coil in it that is connected in series with the "run" winding in the compressor. When the power is applied, the compressor draws a high current as it is in a "stalled" state. This current is high enough to "pull" the relay in, which connects the "start" winding. This is connected through the capacitor which gives the start winding a "leading" state in electrical terms, which sets the motor rotating. As the motor speeds up, the current drops and is no longer sufficient to hold the relay up, and the motor continues to run without the "start" winding.. The neutral, or cold side of the motor is connected via a small thermal breaker which cuts the motor off if it doesn't start, until the breaker cools down, then it has another go at starting. This is the buzz and "Click" noise you sometimes hear if you turn your fridge off for a short period and then back on. The compressor often wont start if the discharge pressure is too much greater than the suction. Some compressors have a "run" capacitor as well which remains connected to give the motor a higher torque, both for starting and running states. All of this only takes a split second. Compressor kit part # W10309994. Thank You. Read More...
Paul L. August 15, 2011 for Model Number ED2JHGXRB02 Can I convert this refer back to the older conventional defrost control. If I just had a wiring diagram, I know that I could do it. The defrost control either feeds the defrost element of the compressor circuit.
1 Answer Hello Paul. No, the defrost timer 4388932 in the model number you provided, does more than just the defrost cycle. You will need to replace the timer if it is bad. Hope this helps. Read More...
