Replacement part
Over the years models change so it’s difficult to keep stock of parts for older models. We were able to retrofit this piece to our older model fridge thanks to the ingenuity of my partner. My concern is that when we are told it’s the right part and it doesn’t look anything like the old part.

Refridgerator/Freezer Not Cooling
First of all, let me say that I'm a 50 year old single woman. If I can do this repair, anyone can! After unscrewing the back of the unit that houses the compressor, I found the relay overload switch which is attached to the compressor. I pulled the part off and discovered that it comes in one piece. The replacement part came in 3 pieces. I intially thought they sent the wrong part. After a little thinking outside of the box, I figured out that the replacement part was indeed the correct part and that it comes in 3 pieces instead of one. It would have taken 5 minutes to repair if I had realized this early on. Once replaced, the refrigerator/freezer was cooling within 10 min. I sent the Run Capacitor back after telephoning a customer service rep. She was so courteous and helpful! What a fabulous company. I highly recommend. I saved myself approx. $250.00 doing it myself.

Refigerator not cooling
Through experience I determined the problem was with the compressor trip switch. It's the small white piece that looks like a flat fuse.
The parts arrived in 3 working days. Instructions were included - very easy to understand. From start to finish I replaced the switch in about 15 minutes. Frig is now working perfectly.
3 pieces come along in the kit - however, all I needed was the switch, but for the price I changed out all three to assure compatibilty.
I also ordered the cover which was not needed.
A Happy Customer! {:-)
