Problem for Amana ABB1921DE Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

Bad capacitor/relay or compressor?




By chatchkyz on Oct 23, 2009

" "
When the compressor goes on it makes a louder than usual buzzing/humming noise for about 10-15 seconds then there is a click and it shuts off. Needless to say, the refrigerator and freezer aren't cold anymore. Is it more likely to be the compressor seized up or a bad capacitor/relay? It's an Amana ABB1921DE bottom freezer.

- No, all the fans are just blowing air that is not hot or cold.

that is most likely a relay. Does the unit get cold while running?

- I would recommend testing relay with an ohmmeter. If the relay is good, then the compressor needs to be replaced.
