Take two...

 

 

New Supco 3n'1 installed. Started up fine. Amp draw is a steady 4.7. We'll see in a few hours.

Currently temperature in refrigerator section is 31F @ the #7 setting. Ice in the freezer is rock solid. It is cycling normally. So far so good.

I have to ask

How its grounded on a 2 core flex?

Is it on a separate wire or just not grounded?

The 3-in-1 relay is in a plastic housing and does not require grounding, the compressor is grounded along with the rest of the refs cabinet.

 

Hi Louie, I am concerned about the amp draw, is 4.7 for the entire ref or just the compressor ?, 4.7 is pretty high for even this old compressor.

Hi John. It's for the entire refrigerator when the compressor is on. According to the tag, the refrigerator is rated for 5.8 amp draw.

Glad that the new start device solved the problem. I have a feeling the original could have been a knock-off.

I read somewhere that Amazon was having issues with vendors selling knockoffs. Nevertheless I sent a complaint about the failed starter-relay and gave it a bad review.

Still working flawlessly...

 

 

So I decided to give the interior a deep clean. However, I am having trouble removing the glass shelf over the vegetable bins. I see no screws or tabs. Any suggestions?

Removing crisper cover etc

 

It just pulls out, lifts up etc, they often get stuck with years of sticky spills etc, poor lots of really warm water all around the cover and this should loosen it up.

Right as usual John. Thanks!
