Before testing the compressor relay,
unplug the refrigerator to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
Also, if the compressor uses a capacitor, it must be discharged
into a 20-ohm wire wound resistor. To avoid the risk of electrical
shock, touch the leads of the resistor to the leads of the
capacitor.
The compressor relay starts the compressor.
A fault relay can result in the compressor failing to cycle
on. The relay is accessed from the lower rear of the refrigerator.
The compressor is labeled "A", the relay is located
in the terminal box which is located at the position labeled
"B".
The compressor relay can be accessed by
removing the terminal cover box. The cover is held on by tension
or with a retaining clip.
