The unit purchased used and it worked fine for 1 week. I adjusted temprature warmer to #7 was set at #9, Now fridge anf freezer both 60F, Fridge was at 34F and freezer 0F. The machine is running but the compressor is no longer cycling on. I set the both fridge and freezer to #9 again, same thing not cooling. Any help would be appreciated.
Sounds like a bad compressor relay on the main control board . To verify , pull the refrig out and unplug . Remove the 8X10 small cover , to expose the control board . Look for the blue plug with 3 larger wires going to it and disconnect from the board . Looking at the plug , you will see : wire1 , wire2 , space , wire 3 . Use a jumper from wire1 to wire3 and plug the refrig back in . This will send power directly to the compressor , indicating the board is bad if the compressor starts . If it starts , remove the control board and look on the solder side just opposite the " black boxes " and look for a bulls eye ( pin in the middle where the solder has melted away from it . Resolder this pin . If no bulls eye , replace the main board as the relay is shorted internally . If replaceing the board , your model NUMBER is important to get the correct board . Only 2 boards but model number necessary .
