Fix Refrigerator & Freezer not getting cold, but clicks on and off.

7 Dollar PTC Relay or a 350 dollar Compressor?
Here's how to repair Kenmore or any refrigerator and freezer when compressor clicks on and off but not getting cold and not freezing. Just a $9.00 PTC relay will fix it. It's not the compressor.
Relay I purchased for my model of fridge. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...

I work as a repairman and I never lied to my customers. This problem would have been solved on the first visit. If I misdiagnosed a problem, I would apologize and not charge for the extra visit. It is good of you to share your knowledge to others but you dont need to vilify all repairman who are actually honest and are true to their job

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment

[@spook6668]

Allanb1743: Unfortunately, honest repair Tech. such as yourself are a dwindling number. Thanks to Extended Warranties many less scrupulous companies have seen this as a way to maximize profit, by fitting unnecessary parts, and regrettably this has also become the norm for the regular paying customer, not covered by a warranty. Equally, the level of diagnosis skills of many Techs. is questionable, to say the least; many have become nothing more than fitters, whose idea of troubleshooting is to simply swap parts over and see if it works. Now I don't know if that's due to the pressure of completing a set number of calls per day, or simply a lower level of knowledge, but either way, the poor unsuspecting customer is the one holding the over-inflated bill! I really don't believe "Another" was intentionally branding all repairmen the same, but simply relaying (excuse the pun!) his own true experience, and that of people he knows!

[@alakbar7870]

But most of you repairmen are scammers though, especially if you can tell that the customer has very little knowledge about the appliance or device that they are trying to fix. And not just you guys, but auto mechanics, auto dealers for sure (lol), and a whole host of other "professions." It's a very dog eat dog kind of world. 😌😎

[@IcecyOutdoors]

It's best not to be left in the hands of a service company. If you can do it yourself, do it. That's my motto in life. It is very rare that i call a repair technician.

[@xtina12307]

[@preacherman9018]

My old Sears chest freezer was not cooling and I replaced that relay with an extra I had a month ago. It cooled fine after that. Now it quit cooling again. The replacement is now almost $200 instead of under $20. The solenoid I'm told, is no longer available. I just disconnected it in case it was activating when it shouldn't. The repairman said it's only purpose is to activate a heating element. Perhaps that was the case because it manually flash thaws with a switch. Anyhow it's good to see that you didn't get ripped off. It's hard to find an honest repairman when it comes to anything, auto mechanic, plumber, doctors and lawyers.....most are crooks in my experiences, especially doctors and liers. Good job sir. ☕🙂👍

[@davidhodgson19]

Thank you so much for your video! You nailed our problem exactly. I could hear the clicking sound, and was able to trace it after hearing your description, to the relay. Our 15 year old Kenmore (Amana) has a different, and expensive relay, but same basic setup. The relay was broken into a dozen pieces inside. Works great now! Thanks again!

[@cslloyd1]

I concur on the integrity of many appliance repair men. We had an ice maker which cost $500/year in repairs for a few years. Finally bought a new one for just a little more than that. Same repair guy charged $1200 to get our subzero fridge going again. I am hoping your video will lead me to a $10 solution as my symptoms are similar.

[@wyattspop]

I LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE. I had a tech come out for a failed ice chute drop and in 5 minutes he said "your main panel is bad" , I paid for his service call and dismissed him. It was an $8 part and 10 minutes work, he was going to charge $500 plus whatever else he found. PEOPLE. The panel is the last thing to check on a list of 20 other items, the panel rarely gives out unless something else shorts out and fries a capacitor.

[@station7thedoor]

We found the breaker thrown on our fridges circuit when we got home yesterday. When we reset, it immediately threw it again. We ran a drop cord to another room and plugged it in in place of the washing machine, it came on and appeared to be working again. Around 2:30 am my daughter reported it was out again. When I reset the breaker, I heard a pronounced clicking noise, sounded like it was coming from fairly high up on the back of the fridge, about one click per second. With each click, the lights would dim momentarily, After about 20 seconds, it threw the breaker again. I pulled the fridge out from the wall to see if i could see anything, reset the breaker again, and it came on and appears to be staying on, no more clicking. It seems to be cooling, but not cooling quite as well as it should be, freezer at 34 degrees. no sign of trouble before then. What are the other things I can chevk that may have messed up the board?

Bless you sir. You are providing a service to your fellow man worth its weight in gold by way of the the satisfaction of saving a ton of money and having accomplished this yourself. I am through with service contracts and having techs come out. We had a service contract with Sears and they were late on one or two occasions and on two other occasions, they were no-shows. Sadly, this seems to be the new normal with some services. Gone are the days of reliable and affordable service. Now it's gouge the customer if and when you even decide to show up. Peace and blessings to you my friend.

Thanks so much for this video cause I'm sure it's helped/helping tons of people who think they need to replace their entire appliance.

I have a French door refrigerator with the bottom freezer. Most of the time the refrigerator thermostat is correct but the freezer fluctuates up and down. On the thermostat setting the recommended setting for the freezer is zero and the recommended setting for the refrigerator thermostat is set to 37. When you need to adjust your temperature settings, it shows you the actual temperature of the freezer side and the refrigerator side first. Then if you want to change temperature you press it again and that lets you set a new temperature. I probably should’ve let you know this refrigerator was manufactured in 2008 so it is old and has lasted a long time but has begun having problems over the past six months. However, for the last couple of months, it has been clicking very frequently maybe twice every 5 to 10 minutes. So today I pulled it away from the nook in our kitchen, took off the back cardboard panel and vacuumed out the dust. The coils were covered with dust. The canister was clean, and the copper lines did not have dust buildup on them. it was mostly on the coils. The fan that blows hot air away from the coils is working, fine. so I sucked out with the shop vac & got what I could "my hands are kind of big, and it’s very tight area to work with ”tomorrow I’m gonna bring in an air compressor and really blow it all out and get much more of the dust off of the coils. It has a computer board that sits a little higher up behind a removable panel. I’m not sure if the reley is on the computer board or down below where yours was located!!! I don’t know if it’s on the computer board or if it’s somewhere around the canister that holds the Freon but I noticed that it was blowing very very warm air coming out the front of the fridge down where your feet are there’s a little vent. However, since I’ve taken it off and cleaned everything it is running cooler but it’s still clicking, so hopefully I’ll be able to find the relay. Maybe if I can find the model number you’ll know exactly where it’s at. But I really appreciate your video!!!!! Mine is clicking very very often and it’s the freezer side that is having the most fluctuation in temperature from 0° to 19 or 20 which is thawing food. If you’re able to get back to me or this video is still active I’ll definitely try to give you a model number and maybe you’ll know exactly where it’s but either way I really appreciate your video. We honestly started checking refrigerator prices at Home Depot and Lowe’s and we really didn’t want to spend over $900 because we can’t afford a $2500 refrigerator. It would make me so proud. If I could fix this for my mother for under 20 bucks. I don’t know really how to use multimeters on all these electrical connections and know the set readings and voltage they should be kicking out so worst case scenario if I have to call a technician, I’ll save some time for his labor since I’ve already removed the covering so he should he can’t charge me an hour for taking off the coverings to get to the problem lol!!! I’ll just ask him. Where is the solenoid switch that’s causing the clicking and then I’ll send them on his way. Unless it is something much more expensive, I’m a little worried because the copper Freon lines aren’t very cold at the moment and they never were dusty to begin with it, all the dust was on the coils. However since cleaning it’s definitely not blowing out hot air anymore. bBut the clicking is still permanent and kinda loud to honest. But regardless Thank you again, sir!!! I’m thinking that our problems were identical, so I’m thinking your video it’s going to get me in the right direction. Get back to me if you can but I understand it’s probably been many many years since you’ve made this video. Very helpful video!!! I just wish you would’ve had the same model as mine. She’s been a good refrigerator almost 20 years old.😊

I WILL ALSO POST NEW VIDEOS. If you could, share this info. Bryan

thank you so much for this video. I'm a lady on a mission now. nobody to help me but all be darned if I let sears nail me. 👍

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

Sandi, I hope that you're able to fix the refrigerator. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and hire Sears. However it pays to have a man with you when the repair guy comes over. I don't mean to demean women, but repair men tend to take advantage of women. Just have a guy there to stand around and the repairman will be a little more cautious about stealing your money is all I am saying. Good luck

Thanks! Appreciate you posting the video. My fridge was doing the exact same thing.

Replaced this an hour ago, still have the short cycling problem. So now I spent $22 on a new relay and I have two good relays and food going bad in the freezer.

I own an appliance repair business and depending on the problem with the refrigerator, they are the single hardest machine to diagnose as far as appliances go. They have so many components and there’s so many different styles. Also I don’t know why but most techs will NOT replace that part and will just install a hard start.

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

thank you for sharing the info.

[@mranonymous2082]

Dont tell this schmuck about anything involving repairs he is taking food out of your mouth if you own a repair company. Morons like this that figure out how to solve the simplest problem a refrigerator can have and then bad mouth technicians like they know what they are talking about piss me off

[@jeffwang2012]

Thanks so much! you saved me at least 200 dollars today..

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

Glad I could help!

[@cucobecerra2095]

My fridge and freezer stopped cooling. U can hear it turn on then it clocks and turns off. I'm hoping it's the relay switch. I will try this soon. Praying it works. Thanks for the info. Stay blessed

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

Fingers crossed!

[@joycecarlucci7857]

TY. I used to be a rental property owner and had a rental tenant use a fire extinguisher in the laundry room. According to the tech, he could have fixed both the water heater and furnace that were affected by the ABC fire extinguisher dust for "just" $1608 USD. I used a spare piece of plastic tubing which fixed the furnace and vacuumed the vent on the water tank and fixed both for $0.00. Tenants, no more, thank you very much.

It’s not always easy but your job is actually one of the easiest there is

[@MrCcarter7]

Great job! I have a Kenmore Elite that developed a freezer issue that caused the freezer coils to be completely frozen after only 4 years and it stopped the fan from cycling air. A very cool tech told me how to fix that but now the fridge goes into a shutdown mode every 8-10hrs. I just reset the circuit breaker and it keeps recycling the main board and or the defrost timing board for another 8-10hrs. Also resets the lcd display. Have you run into a problem like this or heard of problem like it? I'm sure it's something very simple. It's just the labor of taking the freezer apart that takes time. Anyway thanks again. God bless.

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

freezing coils sounds like low or high freeon.

[@duanesappliancetechsol.1338]

I do agree with you on the difficulty in finding an honest appliance repair technician, however, we honest tech are out here. I would also agree with going with a smaller business but, you must also be careful traveling that road too. Duane's Appliance Tech Solutions, LLC out of Greensboro , NC can be trusted to correctly diagnose the issue, as well as be totally honest. It's the way we roll out here!

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

I never meant to imply that every technician out there was a thief. I guess what you were hearing was my frustration at the situation. However I do know that there are honest people out there who run honest businesses.

[@duanesappliancetechsol.1338]

It’s all good! I too have been there so I know how you feel. You have a right to voice your view, and we appreciate that fact you took the time to share. Folk like you help some of us technicians to become better at what we do when you provide feedback. We love happy customers and that’s what motivates us to perfect our skills. Thank you for making the video we need your feedback.

[@davidzabielski875]

Thank you for the video. It was exactly what was wrong with mine. I actually took the relay apart and glued the broken pieces (looks like a porcelain coin) back together, plugged it all back in and it started right up. Cheers

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

Glad to have helped

[@s126695]

Thank you! That was exactly what was wrong with my refrigerator. I hope you filed a complaint against that crook! These guys also work on commission so it pays to be dishonest.

I have a kitchen aid side by side frig/freezer and it’s still coming on and blowing air just not very cool so wish me luck I’m going to try this . I really am glad I found this video hoping it will work . How will I know the name of the relay ! Do I just look up by my serial number or ?

[@obiwankenobe3962]

Great video. One suggestion: you might want to add make and model of this fridge into the title, so people will find it quick by googling. Judging by people's comments, I'm guessing it's a common problem for this fridge.

[@Nclght]

You are very perceptive... this is an older Kenmore Elite as many of the newer Elites are made by LG and use linear/inverter compressors. They don't use relays.

[@rickeykeeton4770]

This is a somewhat common problem with many different makes.

[@Nclght]

@@rickeykeeton4770 it was a problem but single speed compressors are rarely manufactured today in other than the most basic refrigerators. Most current and upscale models use inverters with variable speed compressors due to their efficiency.

Westinghouse Roper fridge. Freezer was revving on and off. It quit at first after half hour. Noise has gone away and fridge part not keeping things cool. Wondering if this is the same problem.
