After defrosting, will not run when turned on. Green light is flashing.
Hello Bill, thank you for writing. A flickering power light could indicate a problem with the power supply to the unit. You may need to check the outlet for proper voltage. Try plugging a lamp or other small appliance into the outlet to see if it is working properly. The Run Capacitor is Part 11764031 . The Compressor Start Relay is PartSelect Number PS11766700. We hope this helps.
When the compressor stops i have to unplug from electrical outlet and wait for a period of time then plug back into electrical outlet. Is this going be problems with the thermostat or the compressor relay?

First I removed the rear cover, located at the bottom of the refrigerator. Then I cleaned out the dirt & dust on and around the compressor. The relay has a cover, that is secured with a spring loaded clip. To release the clip, push in with your fingers, while disengaging the end clip with a screwdriver. Once one side is off the ot

(Don't be surprised if it breaks into pieces, as they are sometimes brittle. ) Slide the new relay onto the 2 posts, replace the wire onto the right terminal, and replace the relay cover & clip. Replace the rear cover. Plug in and test.

I took the advice off of your website about the only thing that will fix the problem is change the run capacitor.
