Aprroximately a yr ago we had the relay replaced in this freezer. The freezer has quit running again. We would like to replace the relay ourselves. Could you please provide instructions on how to do this. The part # for the relay is A02112343. Thanks Cindy

Your part number will not work. From the Sears site I found what I think is a direct replacement part
216008900 OR AP2112343 at a very low price of $2.85 seems like a cover price rather than the relay. If this part is identical, just stick it in and wire per the old relay. Best to put a 1000joule surge protector on the wall outlet, available at Wall Mart

You also can take the conponents off, and put a hard start kit on. If the conponents have burn't out again, your compressor could have a start issue, and need an extra kick. The hard start kit part # is RCO410. The instructions are on the bag of the part. Real Simple!!! Tom ApplianceEducator.com

This is not a R12 refrigerator. The new compressors using the R12 replacement R134A are high efficient ones that will burn out using a 3 n 1 hard start device, definitely NOT recommended.

Check my article "replacing compressor start devices". I will look for the other report. Basically, the new efficient compressors are designed for high efficiency and use a sharp permeability iron stator to increase efficiency. This stator reactance under transient conditions will essentially go to zero, current only limited by the copper resistance.

I totally understand what you are saying!! I agree with you totally!!!! But, and you knew there would be!! LOL!!!! Let me explain my reasoning!! I have experienced the following conditions on numerous occasions. Where I have replaced the overload, relay, and start cap, only for them to go out again in a 4 to 6 month period. Voltage checks were fine, and most of my customers are recommended by me, to put surge protectors on the majority of there appliances, or to have installed a surge protector on the breaker panel. So everything can be protected. Of Course, nothing, can stop a direct lightening strike. We live in Tornado Alley in SW MIssouri. So basicallly, I am saying here that outside conditions are favorable. So now that you have the picture, here is my question to you, if a compressor is continually blowing relays, what do you do? I have customers who don't want to see me every 4 to 6 months, to take their money. By the way, Merry Christmas, to you and your family!!!!! Tom www.applianceeducator.com

You replace the unreliable start device with the GE one, WR07X10051, or if less than 1.5 amp, the WR07X10055. I have never seen one of these fail! They have a superior thermal conductivity to prevent burnout.

I will take your advise, and buy those relays, and put my RCO-410s on the back burner, and give them a try. I just have been tired of the crummy relays, that they put on these units. But totally worth the try!!! Thanks for the info, and have a Merry Christmas!!! Tom

Very good. I have used these devices for about 5 months, never had a recall. I learned about these from a Sears repairman, he knew what he was doing.
