This issue concerns a GE Monogram Side by Side. The machine was running but not cooling. A GE service tech came out and stated that the inverter was bad, and therefore the compressor was not running. He gave me the inverter part number, and a few days later I installed same. The machine began to immediately work. It took about 15 hours to reach proper cooling temp levels. Two questions. First, I noticed the compressor is very hot. IS that normal? IF so, what would prevent the compressor from igniting any flammable material in the upper compartment (wires, wire connectors, upper insulation panels etc) ? It seems very hot. You can't leave your hand on it as you will get burned. Secondly, I went to fasten the loose wires from the inverter to their connections via a plastic wire holder/clip, and when bending the wires, it seemed that the compressor stopped working. I loosened the clip and straightened out the wires and it worked. A day later I went to fasten the wires down again, and the compressor seemed to stop working again. Finally, I again loosened everything and the compressor started up. Here is my question: are these wires that sensitive that they have to be clamped a certain way? Will bending stop the current in these wires. Is this normal? The wires I am referring to are the two sets of wires and the ground wires from the inverter to their matching connections. Thank you
