Question about Kenmore 73262 / 73264 / 73269 Top Freezer Refrigerator
My 2004 kenmore refrig model # 795.73266302 stopped cooling both refrig and freezer. Fan still blows air and i hear a clicking noise from back of refrig. Recent power outage at house and refrig quite working after that. Is there a reset button on this refrig???

If you hear an occasional humm then click your most likely cause for your problem is the compressor start relay is bad. Don't be surprised to find your compressor is Very Hot. Don't worry about that but unplug the frig till you replaced the relay assm. Use the oem part not the aftermarket 3in1 replacement.

If your fridge has a power button inside next to the climate control. Hold it in for a few seconds before releasing. This resets the system

You need to Reload Gas on compressor or you be replaced.

Unplug it four a few hours,It sounds like the compressor is in thermal overload,Allow it to cool down and plug it back in.

The problem is the compressor starter relay on the main board,(Approx.$425 installed)for the entire main board.

If compressor is hot that means comp- is trying to start but the relay /overload is bad allow comp to cool down unplug from wall and replace with exact type 1/2hp 1/4hp 1/3hp etc make sure all wireing is correct and unplug before starting that model may or may not have a run or start capacitor replace it also..

The Clicking Indicates Replacing The Compressor.
There May Be A Compressor Relay But They Are Very Rare.
Unplug The Unit And Plug It In Over And Over In hopes You'll Hear The Compressor Kick On. In The Case That The Fridge Does Cut On You May Not Need To Replace The Compressor.

It could be the circuit board, but it would need to be tested..any qualified repairman can do this!
