Embraco refrigerator compressor

have you put the info in search on computer? should be able to find online.you didnt say were you live?

Sounds like a faulty compressor!

yes if the clicking is coming from the compressor,change the start switch and the relay it comes in a kit,,,that should fix it....these parts are located on the left side of compressor,,please unplug unit before doing any repair..

The replacement compressor kit is #12002633 from Amana (Now Whirlpool).
In this kit are the following New model compressor, relay/capacitor, jumper and instructions.
Kenmore does not make appliances rather all of the other manufacturers produce for them.
That part number is for Whirlpool Start Relay/Capacitor and as long as the compressor is the right horsepower for the relay it makes no difference who made it. (Techumseh or Embraco)

CALL ELECTROLUX SO THEY CAN MAIL YOU A COMPRESS BEFORE THE TECHNICIAN COMES OUT TO FIX. NEED MORE HELP JUST ASK.

The recall was for units that had embraco compressors. the relay would burn up and not start the comperssor. (hum and click) some amanas had tecumseh compressors. They would just scize up and not run (hum and click)No recall. remove the back cover and see what name is on your compressor. If its hot and trying to start, Embraco needs new relay, Tecumseh needs to be replaced with a embraco compressor.
