Refrigerator and Freezer not cooling. Both fans are working. Lights on. When i plug in the wire i hear click after few seconds. Compressor is very hot and not running. There is a Relay that plugs in to the compressor. I pulled it out and found contacts burnt and Relay rattling inside. I ordered a relay. I am concerned about the compressor why it is hot and possibly defective? Won't know until 1 week when i get my relay.

The compressor was hot because of bad start relay or it can be a problem with the mechanical parts inside the compressor. You would not know it until you will give it a try with the new start relay. You also can check the compressor motor windings while you are waiting for the relay. You can find the instructions in one of our previous threads: http://forum.appliancepartspros...not-cool.html#post281680I found that there are two different relays used for this model. The correct part number depends on the serial number of the refrigerator. If you would like to verify it, post the serial number of the refrigerator. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG MSD2754GRW REF - SXS/I&W | AppliancePartsPros.comGene. P.S. Appliance Parts Pros has both relays in stock and you can have it in 2-3 days. You also can return the part later if it would not fix the problem even if it was installed.
