Part #WPW10662129
This capacitor (Refrigerator and Freezer Compressor Run Capacitor, Run Capacitor) provides the voltage or energy current required to start the compressor and keep it running. It allows the compressor in your appliance to easily cycle on and off. This capacitor mounts directly onto the compressor starting relay. If the capacitor is faulty the compressor may get unusually hot and draw excessive amperage. It the compressor overheats, it may fail to run until it cools down again. The compressor may also get noisy from overheating. If this part is totally electrically open, it is defective (often due to overheating) and needs to be replaced. The part measures 1 inch by 1-1/2 inches, and is constructed of plastic with two metal wire terminals. This item includes 1 capacitor, sold individually. This part comes in black.

Don - For model number WRT318FZDW05
September 21, 2022
Front of freezer shelf gets very hot two to three times a day. Area is about 4 inches wide and in front center. Wanting to know cause and repair. Thanks.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Don, Thank you for your inquiry. Your freezer's compressor moves refrigerant through the appliance, generating heat as it runs. This heat dissipates to the sides of the freezer, helping prevent moisture from forming on the outside of the appliance. As a result, the exterior walls may sometimes feel hot to the touch. If it is warm on the inside of the freezer, it may be caused by a faulty door gasket. PS11731600 is the white freezer gasket, PS12349640 is the black door gasket, and part# PS16660591 is the gray version. You also want to check the air ducts and evaporator covers for any debris that could be forcing warm air to the front. Also check the evaporator fan to make sure it is running correctly. Good luck with your repair.

Kim - For model number WRT318FZDW05

Hi My refrigerator is at 50* all the time the compressor runs an runs .when the compressor use to start you could see the light dim in the refrigerator but now when the compressor starts no dim of the lights I think I have a seal system problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Thank you I have been buying parts from you for many years
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Kim, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, we would recommend checking the door seals for any damage. If the seals are fine, then the issue is most probably with the defrost thermostat, part number PS11754118. You may need to replace it to solve the problem. Glad to be of assistance!

My refrigerator stopped cooling and the freezer section stopped freezing

I knew the chances of all the freon leaking out was unlikely so I looked at the wiring to the compressor and there was a capacitor and a starter/overload so i figured I would start there. I went on line and found the parts at this site and they were less than the minimum service call charge for a service tech so I figured what the heck le t's give her a shot so I did give it a shot. I ordered the parts and they were there in less time than a service tech could come out and i installed the parts and guess what for 90.00 in parts and 15 minutes in time I repaired my refrigerator. Thanks guys, It took less time to order the parts than it did to make the repair so thanks, your website rocks and is very well designed so my hat is off to you guys!

Evaporator Fan failure
164 of 190 people found this instruction helpful.
  • William from Middletown, NY
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver
The reason I repaired it myself was because the repairman that diagnosed the problem.didn't come back in two weeks. The evaporator fan sits behind a vented wall in the freezer and directs cold air into freezer and refrigerator.I removed the ice make assembly first and then the freezer wall held in place by two sheet metal nuts. Then remov ed wires from fan motor. Removed the fan blade from fan motor,which was press fitted on,then removed fan motor from bracket assembly(make sure and retain the two vibration rubber washers on back and front of motor. Reinstall new motor with vibration washers and press fan blade on new motor. Install in bracket assemble and reassemnble.

I used a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light rocker switch. Then, I unplugged the wires, plugged them into the new light rocker switch, and then popped the new switch into the hole. That's it! Lights began working again.
