Eric A Canton , MA December 16, 2017 Appliance: Whirlpool Refrigerator ET8CHMXKT03 Compressor not running. My freezer and fridge were blowing warm and all my food in there was garbage... Lights and fans all working. Looked up some YouTube videos on what it could be. Bad compressor least likely culprit even though it wasn't running. It wasn't doing that "click whirr" thing if it were trying to start. It just flat out wasn't running. So, check the overload and relay that attach right on the side of the compressor. I did, and I shook them. They jingled like loose change=BAD. Ordered new ones and installed them. 30 minutes later, I HAD COLD AIR! $60 in parts and 15 minutes of my time vs. $550 for a new fridge (or just as bad for a repairman)? SOLD!

Roger B Holland , MI November 20, 2016 Appliance: Whirlpool Refrigerator ET8CHMXKQ03 Refrigerator freezer fan and lights were working but the freezer and refrigerator were room temp. I used the internet to get an idea of what could be wrong and then picked the most likely part that would be causing the issue. I order a new start relay and surge protector. I received the part in less than 24 hours and installed then in about 10 minutes. Everything works great!
