Don May 20, 2022 for Model Number 10659092990 I had what they call a brown out and my fridge quit working. I replaced the relay and overload and it has been working fine for about 3 months and all of a sudden stopped again. Doesn't like we had a power outage or a brown out again. I ordered another start kit (AP3873993) for it and am going to try that once again. Do you think I should wire in a capacitor (WP4387764)? Would this help in my situation? We are planning on getting all new appliance in the future because of an upcoming kitchen remodel and trying to buy some time. Thanks,
1 Answer Don, Thanks for the question!!! It is likely that the compressor is the issue and even with a capacitor added it will likely fail again in a short time period. Read More...
Eob February 17, 2022 for Model Number 106.58582890 Don't see the rating for the run capacitor on your web page that you are selling for $51.39. What is the rating data of the capacitor wp4387764, i.e., uF, VAC, Temp range etc?
1 Answer EOB, Unfortunately, we do not have the rating information on this run capacitor but it is unlikely that the run capacitor has failed if the compressor is not starting. Thie most likely cause would be a faulty start device. Read More...
Curt September 04, 2018 for Model Number KSRB25FGSS00 I have this Kitchen Aid refrigerator that has stopped cooling. all the fans run. compressor comes on for about 5 seconds makes a click and stops. It does this over and over until compressor gets really hot. Could this be a capacitor, start device or compressor problem? Thanks for all your help
1 Answer Curt, I would replace the start relay, take the old one off and see if it rattles when you shake it, indicating that it is defective. Part number is W10920279 Read More...
Rick July 17, 2016 for Model Number GD5NHGXLQ00 A few months back an appliance technician fixed my refrigerator with a Supco (3n' 1 start relay overload start capacitor combination). That Supco went bad and don't know what original parts were there before. In addition, I don't know if it had a capacitor or not. Do you think this Whirlpool refrigerator model # GD5NHGXLQ00 needs a capacitor? and what kit do you recommend? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Rick. If the compressor stopped with the 3 in 1, then it sounds like the compressor is bad and needs to be replaced. Usually the 3 in 1 will not fail that quick. Read More...
Patty May 30, 2014 for Model Number Ed5thaxms00 My fridge and freezer have not been getting cold since a power outage . We replaced the relay overload , I cannot find a capcitor or see where one might be hooked up . Is there not one on my model ?
1 Answer Patty, The white and blue wires that come off the relay go to the capacitor. The capacitor is part number WP4387764. Read More...
George December 07, 2013 for Model Number GD25DIXHB00 Will try and include all relevant info: The problem is the start relay keeps burning out, have gone thru 3 including the original one. The first one I put in lasted about 6 months. The last one I put in only lasted 1 month. The first start relay (the original) I pulled off the disk was in several small pieces. The second disk one was in about 3 or 4 pieces and then this last one was in two pieces. Both of the start relays I bought were the cheaper replacement part but looked identical to the original. This unit does have the Capacitor have not tested can't find a test procedure. The compressor windings have the following reading 5, 2.8, and 8 Note that the reading on my multimeter did fluxuate a bit. The windings to ground were open not shorted reading infinity so my understanding is the compressor is good. what is the probability of the compressor being bad. Question: Could the capacitor be causing the start relay to blow or is the start relay I am buying is substandard and poor quality. Could the overload relay be bad and blowing the Start relay. Would it be best to order the complete kit with all three parts and replace all at once.
Douglas August 19, 2013 for Model Number ED22PQXFW01 Just need to know where capacitor is located. It's not in cap covering Overload and Start Relay as suggested in another answer.
1 Answer Hello Douglas, If your unit has a capacitor, you should be able to follow the two wires from terminals 2 and 3 or 1 and 3. The capacitor jumps between these two terminals and connects to nothing else but the capacitor. Read More...
Ben February 17, 2012 for Model Number KSBP25FJSS00 The parts diagram for my Kitchen Aid refrigerator calls out this capacitor, but I just pulled the Start Device out (it's failed) and there is no capacitor wired to it. In fact the only available terminals on the start device assembly are the contact for the Red (to overload device) and White (to PTR device) power wires. No other terminal/lug connctions exist to connect a capacitor to. Inparticular, no terminal lug exists to the start pin on the compressor. It appears to only be connected through the PTR resistor. Is this normal for some Kitchenaid models?
1 Answer Hello Ben. The part you use will depend on whether your compressor has been replaced before or not. If the compressor has never been replaced, you will need to order the start device 8201802 and it doesn't take a capacitor. If the compressor has been changed you will need to order the start relay and overload W11239930, and the capacitor WP4387764. Sure hope this helps you out! Read More...
Gary S. June 12, 2011 for Model Number ED5FHGXKQ03 Is the capacitor physcally located inside the cover box (item 12)? Do new compressor start device kits eleminate the need for the capacitor?
1 Answer Hello Gary. The capacitor will likely be attached to the side of the compressor, but will not be in the cover box. Start devices are used to trigger the compressor and turn it on and do not replace the need for the capacitor. You will need both parts in working order for your unit to run. I hope this information helps! Read More...
