Fridge lights are on but interior temperature is warm — compressor fails to run due to a failed start relay.
Compressor attempts to start then shuts off immediately or never runs; overload trips repeatedly.
Loud clicking or buzzing noise heard from the back bottom of the refrigerator every few minutes as relay repeatedly tries to engage.
Freezer section fails to reach set temperature because the compressor cannot maintain a proper cooling cycle.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failed Compressor Start Relay
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Refrigerator is not cooling but interior lights remain on
⚠️ Loud clicking sound from the compressor area every few minutes
⚠️ Compressor is hot to the touch but never fully runs
⚠️ Compressor attempts to start then shuts off immediately
🛠️ Quick shake test: Remove the relay from the compressor and shake it — a rattling sound indicates a failed relay that needs immediate replacement. Also check that the relay body is not cracked or burned.
