Robert N Bonita Springs , FL May 01, 2015 Appliance: Kenmore Refrigerator 59658642891 Freezer and refrigerator boxes not holding temperature After running some tests I determined that the problem was a bad defrost timer. The timer would occasionally fail to trigger the compressor to restart at the end of the defrost cycle. Since I had the unit taken apart, I replaced the termination t-stat and the compressor start relay at the same time. Parts came quick 1.5 days, job completed and the unit is up and running.

Dennis F Lexington , KY May 07, 2017 Appliance: Model MAYTAG REFRIGERATOR OVER 20 YRS OLD Refrigerator running to warm with a clicking noise emitting from compressor area Went to a competitor's site to troubleshoot problem and purchased the part recommended - run capicitor. Part arrived 6 days later. Part did not resemble original and did not fix problem. Went back to site and ordered a different part that was recommended when first option did not solve problem - run capicitor with compressor rela Part arrived 4 days later after paying for faster delivery. Part was completely different from original and also completely unlike part shown in video. Sent everything back to competitor and went to AppliancePartsPros.com. Found exact part matching original - compressor relay. Ordered on Wednesday evening, part arrived Friday AM. Took less than 10 minutes to replace - refrigerator and freezer began cooling immediately. Spent less than $65 - $15 of which was shipping costs returning competitors parts that didn't work. AppliancePartsPro.com is now my go to.
