Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Whirlpool refrigerator was not cooling and was making clicking noise   William K. • Silver Spring , MD • November 04, 2014

Looked on the web, where many sites indicated it was probably the starter relay. The hardest part was taking off the plastic cover so I could get to the relay! Once the cover was off, the relay was easy to take off. I shook and it made a noise -- another indication, according to the web, that the relay was bad. I looked up the part, found it online, and was happy when its pictures matched the starter relay I had. Ordered the part. When it arrived, it only took a few minutes to install it... Read more

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running.   Kenneth B. • Crossville , TN • April 03, 2021

My barely three year old Frigidaire upright freezer quit running and we discovered it when most of the contents were just starting to thaw. Luckily we have nearby neighbors that my wife walks with most days and two or three of them came to our rescue with available freezer space to save the more valuable things like meat and seafood. The compressor would not come on, no fan, no noises of any kind but the light came on when the door was opened so obviously it had power. I unplugged it for a... Read more

Compressor Start Relay
Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WR07X10057

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It plays an important role in allowing the refrigerator's compressor to power on. The start relay controls the initial energizing of the compressor until the control circuit signals it to remain powered.

Causes of a bad start relay can include failure over many power cycling events or damage to its internal electrical components. Without a properly functioning start relay, the compressor will not receive the signal needed to turn on.

Symptoms of a bad start relay include:

  • The refrigerator fails to cool and the compressor remains inactive  
  • Abnormally long cool-down times after door openings
  • Fluctuating interior temperatures

This replacement relay is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Parts was supposed to come in 3-5 days but came next day instead. I am very very impressed and grateful.... Read more

Capacitor
Genuine Lg part
By: Lg
Part Number: 0CZZJB2014G

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to support the appliance's circuit during startup and operation. Replacing a weakened capacitor can restore reliable performance and reduce humming, hard starting, or stalling in the affected component.

  • Provides a power boost at startup and helps stabilize voltage during operation
  • Helps the connected component start promptly and operate smoothly under load
  • Common failure signs include humming, slow or no start, or intermittent operation
  • Contribute to overheating or a tripped breaker/fuse when the component tries to start
What's included: One capacitor. Install notes:
  • Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance. Before handling, safely discharge the old capacitor using a proper resistor-rated tool.
  • Photograph or note wire positions; move each lead to the same-labeled terminal on the new capacitor and ensure snug connections.
  • Mount the capacitor securely in its bracket; keep terminals covered and clear of metal surfaces.

Results were, clicking gone, seems to be quieter operation because of cleaning, more efficient cooling and nerves calmed. Read more
