I told you wrong on the amp draw while running is 3 amps defrost amps is 4 When it tries to start after defrost mode it jumps to 20 amps and kicks out, does this serveral times before the compressor starts. I haven't recorded amps on normal start. Thanks, Wayne I have since recorded start amps it's 3 amps.

8 or 9 amps running? That's way too much. I don't know why I can't get anything to come up with that number. Are you in the USA? Try replacing the start device. It's either that or the compressor.

Here is the model from the label in side the box. Model BC20JL Amana Mgf # P7680812WL sn. # 8701025320 I looked at watts and anps, didn't pull much trying to start not as much as running normal, which is about 8/9 amps Thank's Wayne

Hi Wayne, it's not watts you want to check but amps. It sounds like the relay/overload/start device may be faulty. I can't get anything to come up with that number. Read it off the tag in the fresh food section and not off any stickers on the door.

When my refrig. comes off defrost it makes a clicking noise at least 3-4 times before the compreesor starts. Does not do this on normal starts. I put a watt meter on it and when it clicks and does not pull hardly any more watts. like it wound if the compressor was trying to start. I changed out the defrost unit ,no help. What's next the overload relay ? Thank's Wayne
