If you found that your refrigerator doesn’t work as it should, the first thing that you’ll need to check is the compressor run capacitor. The run capacitor continuously sends electrical current to keep the compressor running. If the house circuit breaker for your refrigerator trips as soon as the compressor tries to start, the run capacitor could have shorted out. Replace a shorted run capacitor with a manufacturer-approved refrigerator part. Process of replacement doesn’t need much experience, you can do it alone, just follow carefully all our instructions step by step. Let’s start!
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall. Remove the screws from the rear compartment cover and then remove the cover. Pry off the wire retainer holding the start relay on the compressor. Pull the run capacitor off the compressor start relay. Plug the new run capacitor into the compressor start relay. Reinstall the wire retainer to hold the start relay on the compressor. Position the rear compartment cover on the back of the refrigerator and reinstall the mounting screws. Plug in the refrigerator and push the refrigerator back into place.
Problem is solved. Make some tests. If this doesn't work, there could be a defective part that requires a replacement, and you may need to consult a professional.
