Common Symptoms
- Refrigerator and freezer temperatures rise or remain warm.
- Compressor does not start, repeatedly clicks or hums, or shuts down shortly after starting.
- Compressor runs but the appliance fails to achieve normal cooling; other sealed-system causes remain possible.
Check Before Replacing
- Verify the refrigerator has power and that the controls are calling for cooling.
- Listen for compressor operation and observe whether it starts, continues running, or repeatedly cycles off; do not conclude that the compressor is defective from sound alone.
- Check refrigerator and freezer temperatures with an appliance thermometer and compare them with the appliance’s specified operating temperatures.
- Inspect the compressor area for loose wiring, damaged components, or visible oil residue without touching energized parts.
- Use the appliance’s model-specific service diagnostics, if available, to activate the compressor/condenser-fan circuit; sealed-system electrical and refrigerant testing should be performed by a qualified technician.
