Jenn Aire frig is 6 years old and compressor is bad. Should I replace it or buy a new one?

Call for service. You likely need a new display module. If you fancy trying to fix it, you try and get in behind it and check the connections to it. Remove, clean and replace.

try national parts depot

or look for new knobs that matches the fit and change the broken one or all of them.

go ahead no problem

Make sure it's not your start relay thats attached to the compressor.

Well if you are extremely handy you can purchase a new compressor and install it yourself.

you can have the compressor replaced for around 500usd on the norm. that would be the most inexpensive way to go compared to a new unit , it will come with a 90 day-1 year warranty.

sounds as if the control board has gone bad unless you have an extended warranty that you purchased extra this will probably not be covered, but check with jenn-aire to be sure. I dont think I would worry about a 3rd compressor being bad but I would unplug the unit to prevent any further damage to it. good luck peyton

get a 3 and 1 relay that will help boost the start windings on the compresor and help it start-up. get the one for 1/2 hp and you shoiuld be good to go.

We own a Jenn-Aire model W27400W oven. The display module has gradually gone dim over a period of several months prior to the end of the warranty, and the display is no longer visible. It is apparent that several Jenn-Aire oven models use the same display. Does Anyone else have the same problem, and If so, are they willing to join a class-action suit against Jenn-Aire with us?
