February 24, Refrigerator Repair. The Start Relay In most refrigerators the start relay is found on the side of the compressor. Once you can get behind your refrigerator, unthread the screws securing the access panel to the refrigerator. Then, pull the panel off the back of your appliance and set it down somewhere safe.
While the panel is off, take a moment to clean your refrigerator condenser coils. You can use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of any accumulated dirt.
The start relay, which can be found on the side of the compressor, is covered with a small black box. To remove the box, use a flat head screwdriver and gently push the box up and off the relay. Once the start relay is exposed, use the flat head screwdriver to pry it off the compressor. Before you disconnect the wires running to the relay, take a quick picture of the part, so you know where to place the wires on the new start relay.
With the old start relay removed, you can retrieve your newly purchased relay and begin installing it. First, reference the picture you took to ensure you connect the wires, to the correct relay terminals. Then, push the start relay onto the two terminals found on the side of the compressor. Next, reattach the black cover box. Once the panel is secure, plug-in your appliance and turn on the hot and cold water valves. Finally, push your fridge back against the wall; leaving at least 3 inches of space to allow the refrigerator to breath.
The Main Control Board The main control board, also known as the electronic control board, controls when the compressor turns on. Unthread the screws securing the panel to the refrigerator, and remove the panel from the back of the appliance.
The control board has a number of wires attached to it. To ensure you know where each wire connects, snap a photo of the control board. Then, remove the grounding wire from the frame of the control board. Once all the pins are disengaged, simply pull the faulty main control board off the refrigerator. To install the new control board, line it up with the mounting pins, and carefully push the board onto the pins. Grab your phone and look at the picture you took of the control board, and start reconnecting the control board wires to their proper terminals.
Once all the wires are in the right place, reattach the access panel Now that the repair is finished, plug-in your appliance and turn on the water. The Thermistor Your refrigerator is equipped with a thermistor, which is located inside the freezer behind the rear panel.
After all the shelving is out of your way, remove the light cover from the rear wall, and unscrew the freezer light bulb. Using a screwdriver, unthread the screws securing the rear panel to the back of the freezer and lift the panel up and out of your appliance. Remove the component from the tube, and with a pair of wire cutters, cut the wire near the sensor bulb.
Before you get rid of the defective bulb, take the metal retaining clip off the part. Retrieve the new thermistor, and place the retaining clip from the old part onto the new part. Trim the wire on the thermistor, leaving the bulb and at least 4 inches of the wire intact. Pull the the two wires apart and strip off a small section of insulation. Then, attach a butt connector to each wire end.
