Refrigerator compressor starting
Hi Everyone,
We have fridge, about 15 years old, GE make. Increasingly it hesitates when starting the compressor. The relay clicks, and then nothing. It tries it a couple of times, then finally the compressor starts. Unfortunately it starts doing this more frequently. I have checked Sam's notes, and it looks that it is either the starting relay or the compressor itself. Any anecdotal comment on which one is more likely to fail? Are starting relays repairable? Thanks, Peter |
