Refrigerator stopped cooling. Everything else worked
Ordered the start kit and replaced bad part. Cooled like new. Kit comes with parts to fix multiple refrigerator compressors. Had to look at online resources to identify which kit parts fit my particular installation. Easy fix after that. One bit of advice. In door ice dispenser stopped working after refrigerator cooled back down. Wat er from ice bucket had run down into ice dispenser motor and froze when freezer got cold again. Removed and thawed water out of ice dispenser motor per parts select video and ice dispenser worked great again. This site saved me $1400.

Refrigerator would not freeze or cool
Discovered that I had a bad overload relay and fridge would not cool. Verified that I did have power to the compressor. After removing the assembly from the compressor. I found a rattle sound in the relay and disassembled the part , finding my deduction was correct. I went on line and found a compressor start kit and capicitor which was correct for my fridge. These parts came to $75.00 delivered. I thought that this is cheaper than a new compressor of $600.00 plus installation or a new fridge. So I ordered the kit and installed it in under 30 minutes. My fridge is up and running saving me a lot of money for costly repairs or a new fridge. Worked out fantastic allowing me to used the saved money elsewhere . Great site will continue to use this site in future repairs. Thanks

Refrig quit cooling entirely
Opened up the rear and removed start kit. It had smoked. Ohmed out the compressor and it was ok. Bought kit from partselect. Warned me it wasn't identical and would need additional work but the part fit fine and refrigerator works well again.

Kenmore redesigned my model. I removed the compressor starter module but had to replace with three different components and a cover. I extended the length of 2 wires by splicing to enable to fit under the new cover. Instructions advised taking this repair to an appliance tech. It took several hours for me to repair and it is fixed. Am ret urning the capacitor which I bought "just in case".
