Whirlpool Side by Side Refrigerator Compressor Testing - No Cool Repair

[@danielcamry2155]

This video was VERY helpfull..My fridge go dead last friday, after the home power go down. After the power came up..the fridge start to have the problem and only after 6~8 hours we notice that the ice cubes start melt..water on the floor and frozen stuff get melt. So I called the tech..he say "take the power out keep the fridge off till i come.. after 3 hours he arrived...then he looked at the back and in the freezer.. (I did open/take off the back cover and the freezer in-cover.) He plug the power..the compressor start working ..Ice was bild in the freezer unit.. all looks SO good for 5-10 min..then we hear the "click-noise" and in compressor was VERY hot and die..!!! He said: need to replace the compressor..and since it's R12 it need to be replaced to R134.. COST OF REPLACING PARTS (replace my FGV-130A compressor) will be about $400$.!!! he said ..better get new fridge. on Friday and Saterday Here in ISRAEL ALL CLOSED I put about 20 frozen water bottels in the fridge and in the frezzer to get over the weekend,open the fridge Only 2 times in 26 hours ..was hopping that food will stay OK over the weekend W/O working compressor ...so on Sunday I was staying all night looking true youtube ..and got this SO GOOD EXPLAINED VIDEO.....all got SO CLEAR. In the morning I got my Multimeter checked all the point you show in the video....BOOM = the PTC RELAY the Start leg =OK the RUN leg=disconect=OL "no contact. 1 hour to run and get the part...install and it all 100% BACK TO NORMAL WORK...with pay off $10 and ONE EXCELENT GREAT VIDEO WITH good explanation Up To Point what need to check and see. YOU help me so muce..Can't stop to thank you ....evry time I pass this fridge...MAKE OUR HOME HAPPY. P.S. On my fridge the PTC-RELAY have 2 Blue wires connected...That was The CAPACITOR...Please add this up

[@astromaxx7771]

Thanks Bill, your video was a life saver! The only vid about older Whirlpools like mine. I followed step by step your instructions and it looks like the overload piece reads OL, so needs replacement. Thanks a lot!

[@astromaxx7771]

And , after installing the new overl9ad protector, compressor and fridge working! Thanks again Bill, you rock!!!

[@lannygilliam1390]

Thanks for your posting. I have the same refrigerator that had stopped cooling. Using your guidance, I replaced the thermostat and the compressor relay. Works great now. Thanks again

[@jpp9876]

Thanks Bill, with your help i troubleshot n fixed a fridge with a bad starter relay. I recently bought an LG stainless fridge 4 yrs old French door bottom drawer for 25 bucks. Found they have problems and will replace compressor plus 2 evaporators, parts only. I was hoping i could install new myself but can't find a good video with detailed teaching on how to do this. I have a lot of experiance soldering copper plumbing but know this is much different. Some joints also go from copper to aluminum.

[@usahoangsatruongsa]

Hi Bill I'm a HVAC Pro . Never have a chance to take a close look at those devices.Thanks for sharing

[@michaelanderson4395]

A few days ago, my Whirlpool over/under was making a repeated clicking noise. I thought it might be the defrost cycle having trouble kicking in but the coils look normal in the freezer. I ran a diagnostic force on the defrost cycle and all appeared fine. The freezer won't go below about 19 deg. F at max cool setting. I think the compressor runs rather hot and a bit noisey and I haven't heard the clicking again. Do you think I may have a leak and possibly low n freon?

[@erikreally2241]

Thanks that was more helpful then other vid but I still can’t find what’s wrong with mine

[@michaelmorton8514]

Also check from each pin to ground. I just checked a no cool condition and on a whirlpool fridge and resistance from compressor pins to ground was 2 ohms. Owner had installed a Supco capacitor kit and condenser fan was also not working. Too bad! I think it's better to stick with original PTC relay and overload components because a hot compressor will trip the PTC device when hot. It's one thing to change out a compressor but quite another to replace a burned out one with all the contamination issues in the sealed system. Keep your condenser fans and evap fans healthy!

[@WinnerVictorious]

A true hero you sir are an engineer's engineer

[@BustersCorner]

I am new to refer repair, this video was top shelf, just what i needed.

[@BillNewberry]

Thanks!

[@rondail5675]

My Kenmore\Whirlpool start-relay doesn't have a capacitor. Refrigerator is keeping everything cold but I hear the overload click often. I am replacing the start-relay again after 1 year. Would a RCO410 3 in 1 Compressor Hard Start Capacitor Kit be better/stronger? Maybe the compressor is just hotter now during the summer?

[@resandor]

Good video Bill. im a refrigeration technician and this was awesome

[@williamrodriguez9224]

Gracias Bill, I love your videos, excellent explanation, no one does it better. 👍

[@elusiv4146]

Hi Bill Hope All is well with you and your family. I really Hope you can help me I've had a Whirlpool refrigerator outside in my garage for 5yrs now working fine. Now today I so happened to go outside and yes I'm in Detroit Michigan. it has been outside in my garage through the winter and it has just stop working no sound or any thing it's plug up the light is on I'm totally clueless HELP....... AND PLEASE STAY SAFE 🙏 😷 THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC 🙏

[@jimbola77]

thanks bill I look forward to all your video's!!!

[@rhegedus789]

Recently replaced the start relay with one not graded for my compressor. Overload failed, relay burnt out, and the red wire was damaged. How can I tell how damaged the wire is, or is replacing the wire and connectors a decent low experience job? Thanks!

[@ladybird8422]

Hi Bill, I love watching your videos because you are so direct with problem solving. My Whirlpool side by side refrig/freezer stop getting cold but still running. I had a tech come out and tested one wire and told me my compressor is bad and i need a new refrig. Wtf, he didn't pull anything apart to test any other wire, he packed up I paid him and he left. What can I do next?

[@Your-Self]

What wire did he check, amp draw on the compressor? While the compressor is running for at least 10 minutes, check the temperature of the condenser coil. In a healthy Sealed System, the temperature of the condenser should be about 30 F above your room temperature. If the condenser temperature is the same as your room temperature, there is a leak of the refrigerant, inefficient compressor, or some other Sealed System problem. Any of these issues are very expensive to repair (up to $1000), maybe that's why the tech said you need a new fridge.

[@Brad1237202]

Great video Bill!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@vikramgunpal4252]

Your work is good

[@MarquisVonLion]

Hello there ! I just tried to replace the relay and when I plugged the refrigerator I saw a spark between the relay and the compressor and a strong smell of something getting really hot, what does this means ? Thanks .

[@powers6963]

Great video! What if the PTC relay, overload and compressor all pass those tests, but the compressor still overheats after 5-6 seconds and trips the overload?

[@saga2760]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I replaced the relay star device because of the clicking and did works and cools but clicking still there and stops cooling. After being unplugged and plugged again it runs and cools but clicking still there,compressor works very quietly. Refrigerant lines are almost same temp and notice the clicks more often after placing cover back on and pushing it back closed to wall. Any thoughts on what May be? Thanks a lot.

[@CarlAnthonyTV]

Thanks, very clear. My fridge Kenmore Coldspot 10658785890 has a blue wire running to the side of the start relay that has only one prong. The other side of my relay has two prongs with 2 white wires going together into one of the prongs. Does it matter if these white wires go to the top or bottom prong? You show it going on the bottom prong but I THINK mine went to the top one. I forgot to get a clear picture of these connections before trying to replace these parts and now I can't remember.

[@joyceduchette978]

Excellent video

[@jordanas3750]

Question if the compressor is running I'm assuming it's working am I correct? I have replaced the capacitor as well as the start relay because it was not turning over once I did it turned on compressor is on But I'm not getting Any cooling on the Evaporated coils good air is flowing up in the into the tower is working as well originally the motor next to the compressor. Any idea what else is wrong with it I'm thinking thermostat somebody else said ADC I'm not sure what part next to replace or do I just go ahead and hire someone and then be told that I was stupid.. Please help thank you.

[@neelsivaloganathan5405]

Great Video! My refrigerator is making a clicking sound every second or so. The fan is trying to start but only makes quarter turn on every clicking sound. I checked the resistance on the leads of the compressor, seems to be fine electrically but no sound and not working. Changed the capacitor and overload relay, problem still the same. Thinking main control board so i checked all 4 capacitors on the board for uFs, all good there. Now i am thinking the fan motor or some other issue with the main board. Still need to check power draw on the compressor. Any suggestions Bill?

[@rich2376]

When my refrigerator is plugged into the electrical outlet behind the fridge, the fridge starts up, runs a few minutes and then the compressor shuts down. I change plugs on the same outlet, same thing. I take an extension cord and plug the fridge into an outlet in another room in the house, and the refrigerator works fine. I tried going to the electrical box and resetting the power and the outlet behind the fridge worked about 15 minutes and then the condenser shut down. Why would the fridge work fine using another electrical outlet in the house? Thank you.

[@williamdiaz-ij1uh]

Nice job in explaining on how to test a compressor if it works. My 2014 lg compressor vibrates and there’s 0.48 amps that runs through it but still my fridge does not get cold , and when I disconnect the power And do a ohms reading on the coil terminals from common to the upper left terminal which I think it’s the run it reads about 7.8 and from common to the upper right that could be start does not give me a reading and from run to start no reading. When you have some time could you please let me know what that means, thank you.

[@Your-Self]

If you have an LG fridge, your compressor is probably "Linear Compressor". That's why you get ohms reading only between 2 terminals and nothing between other terminals. Linear compressors typically fail within the first 5 years and it happened to me. They can run (vibrate), but not work, and you can tell just by listening if the compressor is not doing its job. I'll be posting a video in a couple of days comparing the sound of a good Linear Compressor and a bad Linear Compressor so you can hear the difference.

[@unklbuk1]

Great video. My issue is my fridgidare side by side, is cooling, but not as cold as it is normally. some stuff in freezer is half frozen. I cleaned the coils which were really clogged, both fans work and I believe the compressor is on to, so I hope that was the issue, if not... what else could it be?

[@carmelcharlton4382]

So today we had 110 degree weather. Now my fridge is acting up. Cooling fine but I have frost inside freezer. Also the condenser condenser is so hot I was worried my wood floor was going to catch on fire. I suspect the overload might not be working but haven't checked it yet. My question is...if I put a temperature gun on the condenser what temp is consider above normal specification. I don't see a high and low temp rating on the name plate.

[@danbessent246]

Bill, thanks for making this video. It's very clear and helpful. I have a question about the ohms readings on the relay and the overload. I got .2 on the relay and .4 on the overload. Should my readings be that different from your's? Does this indicate a problem with either part? I think I just got the fridge working again by turning the gear on the timer. After I adjusted the timer the fan started running (hasn't for the past 2 days) and after a few minutes the air blowing into the freezer feels pretty cold. Do you have a video related to the timer? Your response will be greatly appreciated.

[@MrWebb-qw8gy]

Hey Bill I have a question for you, my overload protection and starter is all one unit I have a Frigidaire the name on the part is KLIXON, I'm trying to look it up and find it, but I'm having a hard time finding it do you have any recommendations

[@rohanboswell5408]

Nice vid man , I got a free whirlpool refrigerator,and they told me it needs a compressor,I did all the test you did except for the amp draw test .it feels like the compressor is running smooth, quite not noisy ,I feel it runs but quite smooth ,all the pins read continuity,,I'm thinking the cercuit board but not sure?? Any advise

[@roycochran5268]

Bill I have a whirlpool side by side energy star. My mother in law passed a year ago and we cleaned it and unplugged it. We just plugged it back in and it won't cool. I'm lost please help! Thanks so much.

[@johnnymalicoat754]

Thanks for the help brother

[@williamlo3249]

I have the WRS571CIHZ00, IT IS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD AND EVERY 30 MINUTES OR SO, IT HAS A 1 or 2 SECOND LOUD SOUND, IT IS SO LOUD i can hear it on the second floor. iS IT THE COMPRESSOR SOUND? The fridge is cooling normal.

[@TreeHouse-xs2hq]

Hi, I have the same compressor (Embraco) for Whirlpool refrigerator and wondering which copper line to pierce to add refrigerant (r134a). Would mind telling me about it?

[@appliancerepairshorts]

Probably too late, but Bill has passed away a few years now. The line you should pierce is the service line. It is usually on the left side of the compressor about 3-5” long

[@DigitalCircus777]

I get basically the same thing. Overload circuit reports anywhere from 5 to 1.2 ohms. And other pins also reports resistance all over the place 11, 8 and 4. Compressor reports higher then 2.0 amps and bumps to around 12.7 amps ( from the start and run whine-dings when running and kicking in every 5 mins when the compressor clicks on. Compressor clicks on, but not sure if it should stay on all the time or shut-off and on when it needs to cool? Questions: Does the Compressors usually run all the time? Also noticed the compressor getting hot and seems like the Fan to the right is pulling air away from the compressor and it would seem more efficient if it blows cool air toward the compressor and not sure if this is wired backward (used unit)? Thinking about replacing the shutoff sensor and seeing if that helps. Update: Pulled my shutoff and PTC relay. Another video suggestion referenced shaking it and seeing if it was making noise. Mine was rattling bunches...took it apart and almost everything in the PTC feel out. PTC was Burnt and Crispy! Ordered a replacement online and looking forward to it making improvements in a couple of days.

[@doggonewild945]

Did it fix it mine same thing

[@johnpriesterjr7884]

Hello all. Looking for help with a 24 year old Whirlpool side-by-side (Model GD25DQXFB01) and it suddenly died on me. While plugged up, I can hear a clicking...as if it's trying to turn itself on or start cooling. But it never does. It clicks off again. While clicking the lights inside dim momentarily. Any ideas of how I can fix it myself?

[@flagstaffarizona5927]

Bill, Im trying to use a Mulitimeter (Klien mm100) to follow your steps to test the resistance. Can I use this type of meter ? and if so, where exactly do I place the dial to measure? I have 5 different options (2m,200k,20k,2k ect...) What I did is.... I purchased this older fridge for storage of extra food. I brought it home and hosed it down. Didnt wait enough time and plugged it in. All worked for a while, then I noticed it getting warm in the center of the doors. I then noticed the condensor fan was out. I placed a huge fan in the rear thinking that would keep it kool until I ordered a new one. Then it just stopped working all together... Thanks for your help

[@rayl5074]

hi Bill, my freezer is not getting icy enough (around 30 degrees) when I open the panel in the freezer (Fridgedaire Side-by-Side) I see frost on the top part of the coils (none in the middle or at bottom). The evaporator fan is working (but stays around 42 degrees) and I can feel slight air from the dampers going into the refrigerator (not alot). What do you think could be the problem? Compressor? Defrost Thermostat, etc...? Thanks for your videos

[@esp4837]

I have a run capacitor separate from the two connectors you show here. What should it be reading? I can get fridge to start again sometimes by turning the temperature setting to off and then turning it back on, is that a problem with the thermostat?

[@dhuston521]

Hey Bill, my Whirlpool side by side refrigerator and freezer are not getting cold. While troubleshooting, the water works, the ice dispenser works "we have dry ice keeping things cold", the compressor is good. However, the fan isn't working and the compressor isn't starting. So, I ordered the component parts in your video and they should arrive this Friday. Fingers cross... Do you think the fan is bad as well, since it isn't starting?

[@PandaFPV]

I have a multimeter but not a clamp tool. How else can I check for the 2amps?

[@hatteraslabuf]

I have a 2007 Frigidaire Freezer FFU11FK0FW0 that stopped running and all of the food spoiled. The timer stopped in the defrost mode. After replacing the thermostat and timer, I saw this video and also checked out the compressor. There is no Condenser fan. I checked everything in your video and and everything checks out; however when plugging the unit in, the interior does frost up but only slightly after an hour. What do I check next? The compressor seems to get very hot so I don’t want to keep running it.

[@BruceYochim]

My Whirlpool side by side was not working properly. I put a fan behind the fridge to move air better and it seems to have worked. It seems that the compressor fan is sucking air instead of blowing air over compressor. Can a compressor fan be defective and run in reverse, if so what needs replaced?

[@gw3436]

Help !! My compressor is getting hot won't start ,I have changed start run capacitor the overload protector and start relay all to no avail it has a faint humm gets hot and the overload keeps tripping any help.would be appreciated,PS done the 3pin test all seems OK no short and words compressor to start direct to power and its not locked ,

At 1:19 then @ 1:23 Very good to see and understand how to open up the connections. Hard to know otherwise. This is exactly my Whirlpool refrigerator that has model number "whirlpool ED22RFXRW01" and is not cooling anymore. I believe its bad overload / starter. Would I be fine if I replace the current one with a 3 in 1 (Starter, overload, capacitor) that are available for very cheap and are said to be universal? Thanks,

[@OngLe-jc8el]

Hi Bill Love your video. I have a problem with my top mount fridge i wonder if you could help me. My fridge the freezer part is running fine everything is frozen but the cool compartment is warm. When I first turn on the fridge the fan that blowing air from the freezer down to the cool side runs for about 1 hour then stop. should i replace the fan or is there a sensor that needs to be look at. thank you

[@mgpvii]

Thanks for video. My compressor is running at .7 amps. Is that a bad compressor or could it be low Freon?

[@mgpvii]

It uses 134a and yes, by low Freon it would mean a leak caused it to get low. Refrigerator is 9 years old and is a Kenmore Elite. Not dusty. Everything appears to be working fine. Condenser and Evaporator fan working along with compressor running but zero cooling. Condenser coils not getting warm and evaporator coils not getting cool.

[@chiffondarling5204]

Hi Bill what’s the model no# of that refrigerator and where do the black wirer go

[@Alphamales4Trump]

Question? Can a bad start up relay cause breaker to trip when compressor kick on?

[@nazsenaldi4828]

very helpful video, thank you! after replacing the relay, after couples clicks compressor finally kicked in again. the fridge has been working but was not freezing ice cream. replaced the defrost thermostat before and noticed that the coils were not freezing all the way. Only top and bottom were freezing. Any recommendations?

[@stevehawkins9953]

Good videos Bill. But I have a question re: a compressor that is running... but system is nor cooling correctly. On startup the amps go up to normal levels... the high side line gets hot... low side cold... MOMENTARILY....As it runs longer the high side line cools down. The low side line stays cold... but the amps drop to .88 amps. Bad high side valve or restriction ???

[@BillNewberry]

+Steve HI I would say restriction in the system, replace the filter drier, check for leaks and recharge.

[@edgararcega3046]

I recently changed the white part on my fridge and shortly after I plugged the power cord in i saw a small spark go off on the white part and heard a click. Is that normal or did I just blowout that small white part? Also, my compressor is pretty damn hot.

Why would a compressor kick on for 4 straight hours? What should I do?

[@adams9580]

Bill, LOVE the videos. I am at my wits end with my little 4.4cft. I plug it in interior light goes on, compressor only hums, and after two hrs gets really hot. I replaced the starter QP2-4.7G relay, I ohm'd out the 3 pins to 7,6, 13 all continuity, I ohm'd compressor for ground with scratch test, I ohm'd overload (B77-120) continuity is fine (but something loose inside when shaken). what the heck am I missing. the fridge was in storage for nearly two yrs. Any further tests or should I 3in1 like your video to 'jumpstart' this thing. appreciate your professional opinion and thank you!!! (I do hear a hissing sound as if something is in copper tubing)

[@BillNewberry]

+Adam Szopinski Sounds as if the freon is escaping. Shouldn't hear a hissing sound.

[@nursekja1]

I watched your videos and am confused about where to start. I can hear my refrigerator running, it is warm in both refrigerator and freezer. It feels a little cool at the back panel inside the freezer. I;m afraid to turn the defrost dial because you said in one video that it would never defrost again after being turned. What would you suggest?

[@nursekja1]

I figured it out. I bypassed the other checks and went straight to the back. The fan was running and the compressor was clicking every 5 minutes. I did the tests and the relay switch failed. Going to buy the part and hope that does the trick. Do you have a video on changing the relay? And, do you have any recommendation on where to get the part? Thanks!

[@williamcrazylacyfurmage9953]

When I test the 3 prongs with meter set at 200 ohms I get 11.1 - 4.6 and 8.0 is that Ok?? When I check prong to ground, it checks out ok, NO Grounding going on there.

[@DigitalCircus777]

I get basically the same thing. Overload circuit reports anywhere from 5 to 1.2 ohms. And other pins also reports resistance all over the place 11, 8 and 4 (start and run whine-dings). Compressor reports higher then 2.0 amps and bumps to 8 to 10 amps when running, but I can hear a clicking sound when the compressor clicks on.

[@miguelrocks1000]

Most of the time its on a label somewhere on the compressor.

[@steve87ish]

Hi Bill

[@williamcrazylacyfurmage9953]

thanks

[@glendasue70]

What if the compressor starts and runs for 5 seconds then kicks off?

[@marc2797]

That's the purpose of the AMP check . if the compressor draws to many amps on start up the overload will open (as it should) how ever the relay switches from start to run in that 5 sec's so you may have two potential problems 1 bad relay 2 bad run winding in the compressor., the tests performed in the video should point you to the true cause either/or.

[@beachsidepad]

I have that fan running most of the time and yet every few minutes, the compressor kicks on and within 5 seconds, clicks off. This all started after a power outage of 11 hours. If it was one of those parts on the side that was bad, would he compressor even keep kicking on? Meanwhile, everything in the freezer has melted and yet it’s cold with frost and the fridge is staying cold. So frustrated.

[@bushcraftchip]

What model#is that Milwaukee?

[@tinoyeddie1]

All the fans run on mine but it still wont cool the compressor makes a small click but it does not kick on it feel like its heatin

[@brocksnyder6192]

Compressor is clicking but not running, its going to be your starting components. Replace those, and you should be good. That clicking sound is a good thing, it's what most technicians hope they hear when they approach a no-cool refrigerator.

[@abibodlogistics]

I have a MayTag mzd2766gew and there was this clicking sound when it wants to start and I knew that was the relay and overload issue which I changed and everything was fine and it worked so good,I disconnected the unit from power supply just to put it back in it's original position and when I did I left it for some time and when I plugged it back to the power supply it starts and stops at immediately. I don't know what could probably have gone wrong with a unit that worked perfectly well this minute and all of a sudden stopped working the next minute.

[@LightworkerJoe]

Bill. Would the measurements be the same for a top freezer model? Thanks for the repair videos.

[@thomasoconnor1068]

Title said No Cool Repair. I was looking for info on a fridge tat doesnt cool... didnt find it here.

[@davidlaker1013]

Why not check amps first? Putting your hand on the compressor will tell you if it's running by vibration. Tell us how hot it should be to the feel--like too hot to leave your hand on or comfortable or what.

[@davidlaker1013]

If the compressor is running (feel it) and the refer section is cold but freezer not cold enough, then it's probably choked with ice. Simply defrost it. There are two ways, one where you dig into it and use a hair dryer and the other where you simply unplug it and lose a lotta food.

[@dharmakissoon]

[@bradellender7969]

i tested the compressor, it is ok, i hooked up a hard start and compressor runs....fans run....but still no cold air what can the problem be

[@konsheyn]

Wrong. Wire could short to case and it will show normal reading and it will not work. It will trip breaker and there will be perfect reading and no current at all.

Test your relay like in the video. if it doesn't read .4 on each lead, then order a new relay for $50 and replace it.

[@bobjayp]

Shows how to read resistance but gives no clue as to how to interpret the data. The 2 readings are .5 of each other so he's happy. What delta would make him unhappy? So video is kinda worthless.
