Hi,
I bought this top mount Maytag fridge (PTB1949GRW) back in May of 2002, since then it has been working flawlessly until yesterday. The thing started clicking every 3-5 minutes, I checked both the freezer and the fresh food compartments and as you've guessed it - food was thawing from freezer and fresh food wasn't that cold. Then I opened up the rear bottom and heard the clicking coming from around the compressor (information I gathered from this forum tells me it's either the Relay and/or capacitor)

I ordered the parts from here (Overload Relay Kit & Run Capacitor). Received it next day and installed them with common sense (the worst instructions included), the fan and compressor started operating again........BUT the temperatures inside the compartments were NOT cold enough, it's been six hours and the ice is barely freezing and the fresh food section is just a tad cool but not cold.
I also checked the panel behind the freezer for frosting, but there were none. The thing has been running almost non-stop ever since, I think it only stop once and continued. Also, the compressor feels HOT, is it normal?
