Hi,

I have a msd2758drw Maytag side by side refrigerator that I bought used. It quit defrosting so I bought a new adaptive control board from you. When I went to replace it I noticed that someone replaced the board and wired in an older 66128-1 timer (which had been working fine). Anyway, I replaced it with the adaptive control board and now it appears to be defrosting fine, it also cools fine and seems to be working well except for 1 issue.

Every once in a while I'll hear the compressor relay click several times, then it will stop doing it for a while and then start up again. As I said it cools fine so the compressor relay must be working. I heard about an issue where the adaptive control board doesn't send full power to the compressor. Could that be what is happening? Should I just go back to an older style timer? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

Most probably you have a hard starting compressor. Never heard of any adaptive defrost board sending low voltage to the compressor.

Thanks for the help. The only thing is that it didn't do this when the old style timer was in there and started immediately after installation of the adaptive defrost board. I might just buy one of the old style timers from you and see if that resolves it (that might be why the older style timer was in there). Maybe I should replace the start relay while I'm at it. Thoughts?

You might want to use a meter to verify the voltage to the compressor. Also any intermittent voltage to the compressor will cause the compressor to drop out till pressures equalize. Sometimes cold controls will act up like this.
