Refrigerator Not Cooling in Lomita
Lomita, CA
A refrigerator in Lomita stopped cooling because a failed start relay kept the compressor from starting. A new relay restored cooling.
What was going wrong
At a home in Lomita, this refrigerator had stopped cooling.
What we found
We opened up the back and traced the compressor circuit. The start relay had failed: without it the compressor never starts, so the whole unit runs warm. Testing the relay confirmed the failure.
How we fixed it
We installed the correct replacement start relay.
Before leaving, we used a thermometer to confirm that the refrigerator was pulling back down to a safe temperature.
