Jenn Aire side by side, both sides warm, PTC replaced.

Jenn Aire side by side, freezer and refridgerator stopped working. Both side warm. Fan is blowing. Replaced PTC Overload/Relay. Still not cooling. Guessing it's the compressor. I hear clicking but the compressor does not seam to start. I am considering try to change the compressor myself. Part is expensive and would hate to take that on if it's not the compressor.
Any suggestion?

I hear the "tink" noise. Any tips on replacing the compressor. I have the service manual for the unit.

It turned out that this was the second compressor that had failed to start in this model refrigerator. The original was replaced two years prior. The answer was to install an after market "Hard Start Capacitor." The fridge has been working without fail for more than seven years now. Here is a sample video I found that discusses the procedure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-47kVjzu...

If you hear it trying to come on, (the lights may even dim more than normal) followed by a "tink" noise, it's the compressor.

Unless you have access to (and experience) of all of the pressure / setup gauges, etc, and refrigerant, it's best to have a service guy come in and do it.

I know this isn't the answer you wanted :)

I have a ge refridgerator gss25k side by side. thefridge/freezer are not cooling. the bottom of the fridge freezes and the top is warm.

There is an air duct that connects the fridge to the freezer. A fan circulates air to cool the refrigerator.
The inside fan has stopped working or is blocked by ice.
Defrost the freezer. If the fridge starts to work properly then you have an auto defrost problem. If the fridge still does not work then there is a faulty fan.
A technician can help you there

Hi!!

Check to see if the evaporator fan behind the freezer wall (remove wall) is running. If it isnt the air will not flow properly in the unit. Replace the fan motor and it will fix it.

Good Luck!!

Jenn Air JCD2389GTB side-by-side refrigerator freezing & cooling

Cut everything off for a few minutes then turn it back on and listen for a click from the compressor relay as the compressor tries to start.
Is the compressor motor running.If no check starter/overload relay. Check to see if the condenser fan at the back underneath near the compressor is running. If no check fan.

Are the condenser coils near there warm or room temp. should be warm

Is the evaporator fan in the freezer running. It blows cold air into the fridge side through a damper in the wall between the freezer and fridge. Make sure the damper is open.

Below the evaporator fan is the evaporator coils. Remove the back cover in the freezer to observe the frost pattern. Light frost everywhere(NORMAL) or a partial pattern of ice(LOW ON FREON) or nothing(LOW FREON OR COMPRESSOR PROBLEM).

Side by side refridgerator part too warm

Make sure the small door between the freezer and fridge is open. It should be at the top towards the rear on the wall between the fridge and freezer. Thermostat controls its open/closing. And make sure freezer is in fact freezing and you don't just have residual cold in it. Freezer should be about 0 dertees.

Refridgerator was never that cool now its warm

put a thermometer in the refrigerator and one in the freezer to see what it reads each day when you had the freezer open it it coses it to work harder like having an air conditioner on with the window open it has to work harder to keep it cold so by recording them temp to see if its dropping or it stays the same you might have to get it looked at but for just getting it a week ago it should not have hurt anything just leaving it open a little bit might just be normal for it to be hot i have a side by side and the side is hot but not to hot just warm. let me know hope that helps

Jenn Aire side by side - freezer and fridge not working

Yes the compressor could be stuck but it's also possible the PTC could have failed - each will show the same symptoms. If you're a tech you can check the compressor or you can just replace the PTC also known as "relay". Part # 12002784 should run somewhere around $60.
