Magic Chef Refrigerator CTL1511GEW Fridge too warm

Adaptive defrost control board.

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This defrost thermostat is the temperature limit switch for the evaporator. It lets the defrost heater run when coils are icy and opens as they warm to end the cycle, helping stop frost buildup and restore steady cooling.

• Monitors evaporator temperature; closed when cold to allow the defrost heater to energize
• Opens as the coil warms to terminate defrost and protect components from overheating
• Failure may cause heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator and weak airflow or a warm refrigerator section
• Can also lead to long run times or cooling that returns only briefly after a manual defrost

• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before servicing
• Located behind the freezer's rear panel on the evaporator; remove shelves/ice bin and panel to access
• Reinstall in the same position/clip for firm contact with the coil or tubing
• Make secure, insulated wire connections and route wiring away from sharp edges and moving parts
