I really need help from a pro. My frige will not cool no matter what I paid a pro to diagnose the problem and they said my relay and control board was bad. The board was fried. He also suggested that I change the relay since it was an aftermarket 3-in1. He charged me $80.00. Since I am technical I figured ill do it myself. The last service guy who worked on it was a year ago when they put the after market relay which I didnt know. So I went to ************** bought a new board and left the old relay. Frige compressor still didnt start, so I bought the relay and capacitor..still didnt start. I checked the board, and it was fried again. So, I ordered a new board thinking the old relay must have fried the new board. After installing the new board and relay/cap... It got fried aGAIN!! Did I do something wrong? I mean the relay and its pin is plug-n-Play. The only thing I was not sure of since the last service guy cut my wires was the red and white cable. There were 2 white cables connected together which I kept together and connect to the N on the relay. I connected the red on the LINE connector. Anyone with Kitchen know how the stock wires should be connected? Any pictures? I am out of ideas. Any suggestion would be appreciated. I am in the process of ordering a new board again since I have lifetime warranty. Should I call a pro at this time? the frige does power up and blows, but no cold air and the fan doesnt spin near the compressor. The compressor doesn't warm up which means it stays cold and no power.

Before it went bad, it used to get warm for a day, then cool again for the next week. Until now, it is completely warm and compress does not work. I am trying to trace the path on the board, but dont understand it. I am a noive in this.

Thanks for your reply. Today I spoke to the Tech who originally diagnose the problem from whirlpool and they told me something similar. They said the 3-in-1 the previous tech put in more likely messed up the compressor which is why it is shorting the control board. I called whirlpool and the compressor is still under warranty. They are sending me a new compressor and I will have those techs install the compressor. I can't do it since this would void additional warranty from whirlpool. I also ordered a few frige door bins since they are goners and also under warranty. So I am waiting for it to come.
