Hi, I have a LXW18JEZRW-1 model regridgerator and the relay got burned. I called the technician and told me that the relay and the protector needs to be replaced. He took the damaged parts off and left. He never came back. I went out and purchase the parts needed but I do not know which wire connects to the protector and what other wire connects to the compressor. The wire that needed connected are Red that comes from the freezer and white and black. can you help me with this problem?

I'm guessing a power surge from the returning power burned something up. You should have all your electronics plugged into surge protectors at a minimum. The best protection is a UPS (uninterruptable power supply).

take the parts to a service agent spares and get them
call a technician as he will most likely have the parts on board
as capacitors ( condensers) fail on a regular basis it probably allowed the motor to draw full amps and so burn out the relay
to be absolutely sure that it is properly diagnosed get the technician and a quote

Guess your refrigeratos suffered an electric surge. Might have any kind of trouble, strating form some burn's out cable to whole electric system damaged.. If you don't have the electric knowledge, for sure you should call a repair service.
For future, you should use a surge protector fpr refrigerators

More than likely one of your external coil cooling fans is not operating. OR Access for the fan to blow cooling air is blocked, or the cooling coil is so dirty the fan air is not effective in cooling the coil. Refrigerators are a sealed system. If the compressor has gotten so hot that the motor has burned you might as well find a lightly used replacement. It will probably be less than a repair by a qualified technician. Even if I told you how to replace the refrigerant the stores would not sell it to you. This is not a car Air conditioner! If you lost refrigerant it has probably burned the compressor motor. The refrigerant "acts" like a cooling system for the compressor motor.

Sounds more like a Tcon issue more than anything

Start relay and overload. This is a pretty easy fix. Unplug fridge remove back access panel by compressor. Disconnect the start relay and overload attached to compressor. Pay attention to how they come off so you can put new ones on. Disconnect wires going to RCO (start relay overload) all you should see on the compressor now is 3 pegs in a triangle sometimes upside down triangle. This is important when putting new ones on or you can mess up the compressor. Put RCO together exactly how the old ones are and put on compressor exactly how old ones came off. Reconnect your wires and plug compressor in. The compressor should start right away some models it can take up to 30 seconds unless the fridge is in defrost than wait until defrost cycle ends. The start relay is called the PTC relay and the overload is the protector/ protect relay. You need to buy both parts. Any questions please reply.

First, to answer your last question, not all power outages and subsequent surges are created equally nor are all surge protectors. Also, after a power outage where the subsequent surge is so strong that it got past your surge protector and knocks out your TV and it's never done that before... REPLACE YOUR SURGE PROTECTOR.
However, that being said, in my experience it is unlikely that the TV is going to require a technician. Understand that the person that you spoke with in tech Support is not a technician and is reading off of a list of troubleshooting pages that are more extensive then what's in the manual. What the technician is probably not aware of is that your TV, like most home electronics, has a safety failsafe that requires the device to be separated from power completely before doing a system reset
First, after pressing the button it's supposed to flash for about a minute anyway but I'm assuming that after it's done pressing that the TV is still not firing up.
Unplug the TV, let it sit for an hour, plug it back in (to the wall, not the suspect surge protector). If the light is still flashing, press the reset button again and wait for it to stop flashing and attempt to turn it on again. If it doesn't work, unplug the TV, follow the same steps however, let it sit for 24 hours before plugging it back in. That length of time is not common but some sets do require it.
If none of this works, then I would say that it's time to call a technician.

Hi, these are the possible cause of the problem, you have to check one after the other to proffer the solution.

• Vents between fridge and freezer sections are clogged with ice. Warranty guy told me to unplug 24 hours, replug and everything should work out.
• Fautly thermostat.
• Clogged/dirty evaporator coils (underneath in newer models, on back in older models).
• Bad "Adaptive Defrost Control Board", Google it, it's an easy fix, about $35 on ebay, just make sure you

When there's not continuity across the overload is because the compresor overheated , it could be the relay or the compressor that is burned out or stuck .I would let the compresor coold down for a few hours (unplugging the unit) and replace the relay (no more than $20) and if still having problems the compressor needs to be replaced.

STOP! DO NOT RUN UNTIL YOU GET PROPER PART!
I hope you have not ruined the compressor by now. Your original problem was that your compressor start relay assembly was bad. The click noise you were hearing was the overload protector preventing damage to the compressor. When you bypassed this relay and overload protector you may have burned the windings of your compressor. You would need a compressor tester or you will need to put a good relay overload assembly on to see if the compressor is usable now. If the compressor is destroyed the repair bill could run from about $350.00 to $700.00 depending on model and technicians labor charge.
I hope I have helped, supertechks
