I have a Frigidaire upright frostless (rated heavy duty) 7 to 10 yrs
old. Everytime I plug it in it makes a hissing noise like the
compressor is going to start but it does not kick in. After a few
seconds the noise goes away and nothing happens. I have replaced a
capacitor but it did not help. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Model#?

Low voltage, bad start relay, bad compressor can cause the compressor
to try to start but shut off on the built in safety overload.
