Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair - Not Cooling - Hard Start Relay Overload Kit - Diagnostics 

Thanks for helping a broke homeowner ✌️

It worked for my GE refrigerator, thanks for the help. The wiring is different from the Frigidaire in this video but we got it to work. Once again Thank You !

Thank you!!! Best video yet! Keep 'em coming!!! This is just what I needed! Cross your fingers! :)

thanks for the video.... i just happened to have the same frig.... fixed it myself and got the part at Grainger for $25.

This video was right on the money when it came to diagnosing the problem. I just changed the capacitor/starter in my Kenmore. The stock part was special order and cost 65 bucks. The Supco 3 IN 1 was 20 and I have a working frig.

Worked like a charm. Thank you.

This is what i like to see Someone who explains there diagnosing

That was a quality video! I need help figuring out what is wrong with my refrigerator not cooling.

Just fixed my fridge. Thanks!!!!!!

Thanks! I learned a lot. I will still need a repairman as I do not have the fancy tools you have, but at least I can tell my boss why we need a repairman!

Well done! You could always teach at a tech college if you get tired of service work.

Finally found a good video , thx brotha

Great video very informative but i would have loved to see just where you were put the multimeter . Can you please do another video just for that ?

One of my customers in the Pittsburgh area mentioned Ace. Now I know who they were talking about.

Supco 3 in 1 saved the day!

It would really help to see how you are testing the OMs readings with the multimeter.

Fantastic video , it fixed my problem. Thanks

same tutorial content. thanks, the video is very useful for those who are just learning

Thank you very Helpful

Well done, thank you for posting this video!

Very Good!

REALLY USEFUL.. don't know if the technician i called is going to scam me or diagnose n repair like u did ! fingers crossed !

Thank you

My Whirlpool top freezer fridge. came with 2 white triangle squares that were over the 2 square holes in the freezer. Are they suppose to be there or, were they supposed to be removed before operation? The fridge is 12 years old. Awesome video. Thanks so much.

good video if you already know what you're doing

we have the same samsung fridge but what we did was simply switch off the power for 30 sec or more for the mother board to reset it self and then switch back on and the fridge was cooling again. and also while you waiting for the computer to reset clean the back where the compessor and the coils are that would help as well, try that before calling some one and spending money on a new fridge. thank u

What business software are you using to track inventory and all the rest? I am needing something more robust then what I am using.

pretty sharp!!! thank you for the info!!!! what's that saying ??teach a man to fish teach him to eat fish something like that anyway dude eats fish forever and now keeps it cold too LMFAO

Hi good video I wanna know what to do if my refrigerator is just only showing the lite so and it's a Kelvinator model D110C21RAX5

Good video for does that need it because it my job

Thanks for the information You are awesome

Could this be done one a unit that has an inverter board on the compressor?

Yes The Supco 3IN1 is a relay, overload and capacitor. Its less expensive for all three of them verses one relay from the manufacture.

Hi. Awesome video. How do I know which 3in1 to use on any compressor?

good

Great Video! Okay, I have a cooling problem. No cooling at all and the fans are working. The bottom fan in the back and the fan in the freezer next to the coils. The compressor is running and warm. The overload and replay capacitor connected to the compressor are good. There is no ice build-up on coils. The timer, thermostat, and heater are all working efficiently. What could be keeping my fridge from working? Freon? Something else?

thanks for this video, but where can i get one of those relays?

My freezer door was left open for 12hrs! Got rid of 85% of items in both compartments, unplugged and cleaned up. To be safe I used blow dryer on freezer vents so air can flow from freezer to fridge. Cleaned up and plugged back in, seems to be getting cold nicely. Did I do any permanent damage to the compressor or anything else?

have some cooling problem, i notice there are some condensate in the freezer, and the compressor run much longer than before before shutting off.. also this past couple of months i notice the compressor a little bit louder when its on. i have an electrolux etb3200pe its already 3 years old...

hello sir,i have the same model mine has lots of frost build up on the freezer part and the fridge part is warm not cooling properly.i checked my defrost thermostat is good and I also checked my heat element for defrosting that is fine too,what can be the problem? I think that would be the cold control if it is cold control how to test it or check it if it is not working,and by the way the fun on the freezer part is running too,thankx in advance.

Hey bro, when 2 of the 3 leads on the compressor pins are open then its bad ehh? The thermal overload only opens one correct?

is there a retail store (like lowes, best buy, radio shack etc) that would carry the capacitors so I don't have to order the part online?

I have a WHIRLPOOL fridge with top freezer. The freezer is real cold but, not freezing food and water in ice tray not freezing. The fridge part is barely cold. The compressor is running and kicks on and off as supposed to be. The compressor is not hot to touch and fans are working. The refrigerator is 12 years old.The freezer and fridge was almost empty so, I filled the freezer and fridge with food. Almost full. Not blocking any vents. Could leaving the fridge and freezer almost empty for about a week affect this? Awesome video. Thanks so much.

Hello. I have a upright freezer. I did all you suggedt measures the 3 prungs and add thr 2 numbers and it total the 3rd prung. All connect the 3 n 1 and the Compressor running super hot and does not go into freeze temperature. I order and replace the start device.. Nothing compressor just click on and off... Would a leak in the system cause tge compressor to click on and off? Low refrigerate??

I have followed all the steps with my plhs67eesb4 as it is behaving EXACTLY the same way, fan running, display has power, compressor returns equating ohms resistance, purchased the URC0410 and the only difference is that the pins were not 1 on top, two on bottom, but the opposite, since they were not labeled on the compressor, I tried all three positions with power, and only one started the comp, after about an hour, the compressor is literally hot enough to sizzle a hot rag, I've disconnected power but need direction

I have a 3 year old electrolux EI28BS65KS french door with bottom freezer and i'm having issues with the fridge temp. the freezer is at zero degrees and the fridge is 58. i've done numerous things. took all freezer stuff out. took the plastic shield off covering the vents and the vents were all iced up. and the back panel covering the coils had built up ice. so i did full defrost. plugged it back in and it was fine for 4-5 days. keeping temp. then my water lines froze. so i had the door open taking out drawers and getting to the coiled up water line and put a hair dryer on it for a couple minutes. got the ice line thawed out and working again. once i put everything back together, the fridge temp problem came back. now i'm zero again in the freezer and 58 in the fridge. i've ran through the diagnostic tests and i'm not getting any errors. i feel like its a defrosting issue but not sure. so i'm open to any and all thoughts. ready to dig in and pull everything out that i can in the freezer including all panels and get a better look at the coils. i assume they are freezing up again. thanks.

Hello, I have a Frigidaire PLHS69EESS2 and both my fridge and freezer are both staying warm around 50+ degress. I checked the back panel in the freezer and saw a large amount of ice buildup on the copper line that the thermostat rests on but the fan was running. Sometimes the temps would fluctuate, so only the freezer would rise in temp and then fall back down to regular over a few hours or vice versa. I just replaced the thermostat in the freezer today and now they both seem to be running hot. Any suggestions?

Hi Troy, thanks for the video. I have a Kelvinator Impression Series 500 Twin Air No Frost 1998 model. For the past 3 days the fridge department temperature oscillates between 13 and 15 degrees and the freezer temperature is 0 degrees (and not freezing ice-blocks). The freezer evaporator fan is working, the compressor is starting and working, the evaporator is not over-frosting, the air ducts between freezer and fridge departments are free of blockage, cool air is circulating into the fridge compartment, I couldn’t find the defrost thermostat behind the freezer panel, the defrost timer is not stuck in defrost, I tested the heater element using the defrost timer manually and the heater element is heating, I don't know if the defrost timer could be damaged and cycling too often, but I haven't noticed the evaporator fan switch off once, so I don't think that's the problem. The seals were all changed 12 months ago and all sealing well. The problem happened from one day to the next. What can it be, do you have any suggestions? Can the fridge be low on gas? Or can it be something else? Please help.

Hello dear, There is some problem with my fridge which is not cooling at all, it happened just after a month of no use while it was plugged in and turned off from the thermostat switch (although before that one month break, it was working totally fine). When turned on, the compressor starts its normal sound, and water dripping sound through the radiator can be heard from the interior of the fridge and freezer (as in normal refrigerator start up). I searched online for several testing techniques, almost all are the same. There are three probes in the compressor: C, M and S (where C is the top one and M,S are side ways). The resistance check between C-M=40.56, C-S=44.34, and M-S=84.9 ohms. So theoretically, it looks alright, as M-S = (C-S) + (C-M). But the ohm reading examples on the internet are 4, 6 and 10 ohms. May be different types of compressors have different resistant readings. However, the continuity check is a bit ambiguous. The continuity between C-M and C-S is alright, but between M-S is no buzzer sound, however the multimeter displays some ohms reading for it. So i am confused about this test. The relay is a SSR type so cannot be checked. And I am doubtful about that relay because both on it probe and the connecting wire, there is some electrical burning indent. But the continuity between two probes of this relay is ok, so it’s pretty confusing. The thermostat is a large advanced type, so I am not sure how to check that. Please reply me ASAP because m in a heck. or PM at mowaisshahid@gmail.com. Thanks

I want to ask something. I am repairing refrigerators for some time now, but I didn't solve this problem I encounter sometimes. After I recoil the evaporator of the refrigerator, I test the unit and it works fine, the pressure on both sides are normal. after 5-15 minutes the pressure in the low side begins to drop to negative and also in the high side lower to about 120 psi. I turn it off and the pressures take some time to normalize. Sometime, I just change the filter drier to solve the problem, but sometimes the problem continues even I change the filter drier. what causes the pressure to drop?

I have a Defy F640 side by side fridge/freezer unit. This fridge has 2 comprssors. Am I correct in saying that the fridge and the freezer are 2 total separate units? So if the compressor for the freezer needs to be replaced it will not interfer with the fridge side. So l won't need to regas the fridge side?

Where can I buy the relay? Or even a substitute because I can’t find these parts anywhere!

The compressor winding ohms aren't fluctuating your meter leads are.

clear as mud

Great vidoe, thank you!!!

Great info besides the part you used to fix it. A hard start device will kill the compressor eventually and definitely shorten the life of it.

I've replaced the 3 in 1 hard start but I've never used the old capacitor on the 3 in 1. Would this make a difference? I've never had a recall either. Just wondering.

I seen a domestic 115 v kenmore refrigerator/ freezer with a 175v compressor but not converter anywhere. How does that work?

Hello, we have the LG LSXS26386S Linear model. Only about 2.5yrs old. Both fans and compressor are running, although the compressor is not getting warm to the touch which seems odd to me. Also, the fan in the freezer area seems to turn on when i open that door, then shut off shortly after door is closed. I feel around the vents in the fridge and don't feel any air movement. I vacuumed and blew out the dirty coils already. Thanks for any tips..

what is the multi-meter set to when you're testing the compressor?

My freezer is cold but fridge is warm defrost is working so is evap fan drain line is also clear any suggestions I also can feel a little cool air blowing into fridge

Aren't you supposed to fill the outside parts of the compressor with water and let the starting components salitify while the cord is plugged in the wall? Oh wait.... I think that's what you're supposed to NOT do in which my heart reading was off when running at the treadmill at the gym. Thanks for the video. :)

I have a Frigidaire fridge & top freezer, that seems to be warm. I cannot put items in top freezer because it is not freezing cold enough. What could be causing the fridge to not get cold anymore?

I have a ge profile that will only cool to 14* in the freezer..could that be a switch or compressor ?..

What did you put the multimeter on to tech the pins ? and what should the number be ? 10?

Hi Did you disconnect the solid state capacitor or you left it in there? What's the price for that solid state capacitor?

What is your ohm meter set on to check the compressor pins and what should the readings be for the three pins?? Thanks...

If this is my problem' and I suspect it is, would the water/ice dispenser on the freezer door also be inoperative? Note: freezer fan and interior light are working but no cooling.

Hard starts are NOT a fix. It is only temporary. The overload relay @ 9:22 sure looks like a capacitor to me. Also, how did you check the amperage. Maybe just the solid state relay went bad from arcing (turning on and off). Sometimes, the 3 n 1 does not always work in these situations. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR AMPERAGE! Before adding a 3 n 1. An amperage check can be done with an amprobe. Before and after repair.

hi, I have a question about that universal kit. without knowing the hHP of my compressor, will it still work? My refrigerator is GE.......for in house use....... Thanks.

I have a hot point refrigerator. They had a power problem in my area. The refrigerator lights is on inside of freezer and refrigerator, but I do not here freezer or refrigerator making noise. Not getting cold, freezer or refrigerator. Where is the thermostat located on a double door Hot Point Refrigerator?

good day sir watching here from Philippines thank you for sharing new ideas learning a lot full support kindly at my house too waiting....

which speicific place can i purchase this kit online. i want to make sure it has everything i need. thank you!

If my fridge compressor is warm to the touch does it mean it's definitely bad?

Recharge a Fridge Cooling is Wel but Problem is that When It Stopped Restart very Quickly if u know plz share Thanx

Hi I was having a problem with my fridge not cooking and I looked behind the fridge and the wires connecting the compressor are broke is there a way I can order the wiring ?

Thank you!

My Tecumseh TP111AR003B8 TPD1380YXA compressor does not show the HP rating? How do I find that, in order to buy the correct 3-2-1 start kit?

Samsung model number rf26XAEBP, unplugged for 10 minutes comes back in OF OF (demo mode I guess) I reset it using top left and right button. I resets for 3 seconds then goes back into OF OF. How do I test the front door panel or is it shot or something else? Thanks

I have model FPHN2899LF7, and im trying to understand the inverter. It has 120 going to it, then I just checked the control power to it. It was 20Vs, but the diagram says 12V. The inverter is not putting out any voltage (should be 230V). Nothing runs but the lights are on and high temp alarm. Please help. Is 20v right?

When you change the started relay and cap you must do it with exact parts people can get them the one he use is more money and a quick fix I don't agreed with what he did I've done many compressors and I never installed that type of relay and over load

What was the issue at hand? Was the fresh food compartment not cooling?

I have an issue with an lg refrigerator where I have 2 fans in the freezer and another fan in refrigerator where all the fans are not working, I already replaced the main board and I'm still having the same issue, any suggestions?

I have this exact fridge but the problem is constant beeping no temp display. I need a video to help me replace the temp control panel please.

i have checked all you have said in the video i can hear the compressor i can hear fan i can turn on defroster our problem is that the freezer and fridge wont get cold everything seems to be running as it should took panel off in freezer and it all ices up and have defrosted and put panel back on and gets cool but not cold enough like 45* and wont get any colder took panel off again no ice but iced right up as soon as panel was off?

My freezer work but cooler not, what is that indicated? Thanks!

Sir , help me pls , my refrigerator is not cooling inside of the fridge but it cooling good in deep freezer. How come? What could be that.

My fridge failed slowly. The compressor started rattling loudly when it shut off. It did this for a few years. Then the freezer would not be down to proper temp. This got worse over a few months until the freezer wouldn't freeze any more. What's up?

Wow that is a hard start kit just like in Hvac

Why do you install a hard start kit and not just replace the overload and start sw?

Hi Dear , what is the name of device you add to comproser? And where I can get?

Good video. GBYAY

🙋‍♂️Good morning... I have the exact same Frigidaire Professional Series over 17 years, that is shown in this video and I am having a freezer issue, my freezer can range from - 4 to 20, I'm thinking about changing the starting component, would anybody have that part number Available... thank you

Hello,can you help me ?I bought used viking VCFF036SS fridge for repair. I opened the back panel and I saw the smoke pipe left side of compressor have small hole and the right side of the compressor the tiny pipe it's broken, when I contacted the fridge the fan turn on ,the light turn on and that it. I think the fridge have another problem... What I have to do? Or it's better to sale for parts etc.. What I have to do? Thank you!

i have samsung side by side model : SR-S24NTC the freezer side is perfect for some hours and then stopped working until I unplug AC cable and put it back again but the fridge side not working at all the temp not change and I replaced the temp sensor and thermal sensor but still not working , is the problem in freezer side or relay in the main board or the capacitor I check the diagnose menu but there is no code thank in advance

*Hello, I'm from Vietnam and I do the same job as you, I just set up a RU-vid channel so I hope to receive your support and help, Wish you health and success, it's a pleasure to work with you. I know you, look forward to learning more, Thank you*

I'm a commercial and residential hvac tech..how can I get certified in this? I'm interested

my frigidaire gallerys temps are both at 32 degrees try to reset them especially the freezer to 0 degrees but goes back to 32 degrees can somebody tell me why thanks

Hi I just put a high-voltage board on my fridge and now the buttons on the front panel will not work it’s flashing in Set up mode but none of the buttons work

good prosec
