Rick R North Fort Myers , FL June 21, 2017 Appliance: Model WHIRLPOOL GX5SHDXVD01 Refridgerator & freezer completely warm clicking sound from compressor I went to appliancepartspros.com and described the symptoms which led to replacing the capacitor. The part arrived the next day!!! Unfortunately the clicking and warmness remained. I went to the online chat and Mandie recommended the relay which was next in the chain before the dreaded compressor. Once again the part arrived the next morning! I snapped it in and I was back in business, 90 dollars total in the two parts. No service call with the standard "it's the compressor" diagnosis. Also I couldn't have located the parts locally quicker than they were shipped to me! The fridge runs like new. I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of my appliancepartspros.com experience. I'll be back and spread the word. Thx rr Read More... 6 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
Donald F Washington , DC December 04, 2021 Appliance: Whirlpool Refrigerator GB9FHDXWS04 The refrigerator too warm. I was able to easily diagnose the likely causes by searching this website, which was a big help. I narrowed it down to either the Run Capacitor and/or the Start Device. Not wanting to do this twice (or pay twice for shipping) I ordered both and installed them at the same time. Still don't know which part failed, but my Whirlpool GB9FHDXWS04 refrigerator is working correctly now. The companion how-to videos for each part were especially helpful and relieved any apprehension I had about attempting to repair a major appliance. Honestly, I found compatible — but not OEM — replacement parts on Amazon for cheaper sourced from all over China, but I decided to buy them from Appliance Parts Pros because A) I instinctively trust the part quality, and B) I just appreciate this business model. I'm sure I'll bring my business back when the need arises. Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers

Forrest M Wellington , OH March 01, 2024 Appliance: KitchenAid Refrigerator KFCO22EVBL00 Kitchenaid refrigerator not cooling well Cleaned evaporator coils with brush and replaced digital control board........which did not solve the problem. The problem being the freezer was barely cold enough to freeze ice and the fridge was barely cool enough for food on the max settings! My thought was then turned to the start/run capacitor and relay for the compressor motor as the compressor was warm and no sound was heard as of running. I ordered the capacitor and relay and replaced them both and the fridge works like new again.....13 years old! For those not familiar with capacitors and relays.......they definitely do have a life span and will fail over time. The installation was simple.......unplug power, remove the back bottom panel, unplug the old cap/relay pair and replace with the new one. It is taking me longer to type this than it took to do the repair. The same thing applies to your air conditioning unit outside. Caps and relays do go bad over time. They are cheap to replace!.......and simple to install. bud Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers
