Repair & Advice
Refrigerator was cycling temperature up and down for several days and then completely failed cooling. I investigated this model on YouTube and found several good videos to debug the situation. I could hear the relay clicking but the condenser was not turning on. I removed the startup relay and measured the impedance which was was in the megaohms. The overload measured correctly. I ordered the part online which came in two days. Once installed the refrigerator started working perfectly and has for several weeks now.
