Michael B Concord , NC March 29, 2021 Appliance: Whirlpool Refrigerator GSF26C4EXW02 Compressor tried to start after defrost & stops quickly freezer temp too warm. I don’t think I needed the capacitor and relay, but while I was at it I figured I would. Originally we found we had an issue when water cane out of the ice maker. The freezer was hovering around freezing and the refrigerator was about 33 deg. I unplugged the refrigerator and it came back on and ran about a day. The next night, same thing. This time cycling power did not seem to help. Removing the rear cover where the control board was and moving it around allowed it to turn on next time I plugged it in. That didn’t last long. Once these parts came in I swapped and all seems well after several days now. I assume a relay was bad on the control board. At first I thought it was defrost related, but I found the compressor tried to start and the condenser fan came on but quickly went out too. It was as if the run command was interrupted. I do have a noisy damper that seemed to start a few days before this issue. It may be unrelated, but I am goi g to swap that as well. You can’t find refrigerators in stock and $100 is worth it to save $100’s more in food.

Sara N Albuquerque , NM January 09, 2023 It stopped cooling and freezing the ice machine stopped working. Ordered two parts. The Control Board and Start Device. Both needed to be replaced. I watched a video on how to take it out and install the new one. I did this on my own without the help of my husband. Very easy to install.
