James S San Jose , CA September 08, 2014 Appliance: KitchenAid Side By Side Refrigerator KSRS25FGBT01 Lights on not cooling Took the screws off the back plate at the bottom and watched the YouTube video on how to remove the cover plate for the starter and overload on the back of the compressor. Ended up snapping the old cover plate (brittle plastic) so I was glad the "kit" came with a new one. I used a small flat-head screwdriver and carefully pried off the starter and overload, then, with the new ones in hand, took the wires off the old ones and immediately put them on the new ones so I didn't lose track (there is an extra pin). I pushed the overload on first, then the starter and replaced the cover. I plugged in the fridge and could hear that the compressor was now starting up correctly. I used the shop vac and cleaned out the lint and dirt under the fridge and put the back panel back on. All in all it took about 20 minutes and was very easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWDAucjnUXQ Read More... 7 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers

Ryan O Mckinney , TX March 20, 2015 Refrigerator/freezer wasn't cooling compressor was making a "clicking" noise periodically turning on and off randomly I replaced the compressor relay and the overload relay. Both items plugged directly into the side of the compressor (which was accessible from the back panel of the refrigerator) and each had one wire connected to them. The fix was simple once I did some research and determined that it was likely the relays causing the problem. This web site was critical to my correct diagnosis: http://www.familyhandyman.com/appliance-repair/refrigerator-repair/refrigerator-maintenance-refrigerator-compressor-repair/view-all Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
