Whirpool refrigerator intermittent not restart. once it is going everything going good. (making ice, both freezer and refri area are cold as normal). it ran for about a day and stop. sometime it can't start automatically. when it can not start the condensor fan is running but not the compressor nor the evaporator fan. I unplug for few minutes and plug in then it going again. What went wrong for the fridge? is the probem with run capacitor or restart relay -not enough power? what need to be fix and what would it cost to fix the problem. thanks in advance for your reply. already replace with new the defrost timer.

I would suggest the start device/overload & the capacitor maybe getting weak. Start device/Overload part # 8201799 Capacitor # 4387764.

These are pretty much just unplug the old and plug in the new and most of the time the start device/overload will come with the instructions sheet.

The 8201799 comes with a very good manual in the box, It also comes with 2 overloads for different Models, Very easy to install and is most likely your problem!!! Good Luck!!!:)
