Fridge won't cool.

HI,

you try this suggestion.

if the compressor is running your ref. should be getting cold. Their is a defrost timer but when it is in defrost the compressor shuts off. I think you do have a leak.

thanks,

Subzero Model 550, freezer not working properly

Blow out the condenser with an air compressor. Make sure the evaporator coil is not frosted up, if so, the drawer may naot have been closed properly, or you may have a defrost problem, (timer, terminator, etc). Possible freon leak in the high side drain loop. Compressor may not be pumping efficiently, could have a bad condenser fan motor.

You have either a bad compressor relay or a bad compressor. disconect the power and pull the cap off the problem compressor and there will be 2 components that wires are hooked to. leave the wires on them but pull them off. the one with the most wires is the one that you wanna check. shake it in your hand and if it rattles like it has gravel in it then replace it with a new one. that part is your compressor relay. If it doesn't rattle then you have a bad compressor. The other one with one wire is the overload. It is probably white depending on how old it is. Let me know your modle # and I can get you a part #.
