Hello, Wondering if I could get some opinions before i go crazy ordering parts. The fridge is a side by side with icemaker.
Problem: One day we noticed that everything defrosted and the fridge section was cold.
Diagnosis: By playing with the freezer temp control, we got the fridge to cycle on, the compartment got cold as normal but later on it would not kick back on. Sometimes we need to slide the temp control to zero and back and sometimes just touching it would get it to cycle on. I am almost 100% sure the refrigeration system is working fine. (with my experience = 0 )
I have changed the defrost timer thinking it was causing an issue but this is not the problem...
I have cleaned the condenser coils.
From further research it is boiling down to:
Thermostat - unlikely since it does not over cool...
Run Capacitor - Not sure how it works in the system.
Compressor start relay - again, no sure if this would be the cause with the symptoms i am getting.
Am i missing anything? anything else to check or any ideas on how to confirm if the various parts above are faulty?
Looking forward to any help. Thank you in advance.
