IT IS WORKING FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THEN PLACE IN THE GARAGE FOR STORAGE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. NOW I NEED IT, IT DOES NOT WORK. THE REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER IS NOT COOLING, THE COMPRESSOR WILL NOT TURN ON BUT THE FAN IS WORKING, THE WATER IS AVAILABLE FROM THE DISPENSER. WHAT COULD BE WRONG? HELP, WHATEVER IDEAS OR SOLUTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE GIVE IT TO ME.
THANKS,
FRED :confused:

Hi Fred,
In what position the fridge was while it was in the storage? Did you transport it and if you did, in what position it was?

Hi Gene,
It was at a Normal Standing Up position. During the transport it is on it side for about 15 min, less than 1/2 a mile. Then I have it In a Normal Standing Up position about 2 Days before I plug it in. The fan is running but the compressor is not.

Hi Fred,
Does the compressor make a clicking noise once in a few minutes or it's absolutely silent?
Gene.

Better check the compressor relay. One quick sign is if it sounds like a marraca when you shake it. Check the overload as well but its probably fine.

Hi Gene,
Where is the location of start relay and the overload? I'm really exited, I can't wait to get home to check the relay and reset the overload.

Fred pull off the back panel and on the left side of the compressor you might have to pull off a cover or a small metal clip. unplug refrigerator and pry off the relay. ohm out the relay and overload. if bad replace, overload is usually fine. -Drew

Hi Fred, Unplug the temperature control harness. Does the refrigerator start once the harness is unplugged? If it did then replace the temperature control board. If it did not then replace the main control board (on the back of the fridge). I would recommend to replace both refrigerator and freezer temperature sensors together with the main control board. - The part number for the temperature control board is AP3183989 - The part number for the main control board is AP3950129 - The part number for the temperature sensor (they are identical) is AP3185407 Gene.
