Refrigerator would not get cold although condensor fan worked. The compressor did not come on.
I replaced the capacitor first but the compressor still did not come on. After trying the new capacitor I removed the old board( marked the connectors just in case) then installed the new board. The major difference on the new board was the grounding wire which was simple to connect. The old board didn't have one. Once installed everythin

My fridge and freezer are not getting cold. What part do I need?
Hi Jeanette,
Thank you for your inquiry. I would suggest testing both your temperature control and your defrost timer to see which of those parts are malfunctioning for you. You can test those parts with a multimeter. Good luck with your repair.
Freezer too warm (38f). Cleaned the condenser. Good air flow. Fans working, condenser working. Took apart defrost timer to diagnose & clean contacts. That seems ok. Where is the main logic board? I have looked everywhere. This is a built-in so I hope it's not in the back, where I have to disassemble the cabinets to get to it. This is supposed to be front-serviceable. Also, how do you get to the defrost thermostat on this model? Thanks.

Hello Ken, Thank you for the question. The Control Board, PartSelect Number PS304236 is located in the dispenser. The Defrost Thermostat, PartSelect Number PS303514 clips onto the Defrost Heater. You can remove the shelving in the Freezer to access the back panel. Once removed it will expose the Heater and Thermostat. We hope this helps!
Compressor motor not running, even with temperature set to coldest. Evaporator fan (in freezer) runs like it expects it to be cooling. I can rotate the defrost timer through a cycle and the evap fan kicks off, then on again as I rotate the timer. Capacitor most likely for compressor not turning on?

Hello Paul, thank you for asking. According to our research, we would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: start relay, part number PS287824, capacitor, part number PS10065391, and compressor, part number PS3499809. If you need help placing an order for it, please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
GE chest freezer. Will not start. Pulled out the WR55X24065 capacitor. There is no continuity between the 2 terminals on the capacitor. Should there be and is this the likely culprit? Freezer is almost 20 years old.
Thanks!

Hello Mike, thank you for reaching out. According to our understanding, if the capacitor has no continuity, then the issue is most probably with the run capacitor, part number PS10065391. It helps keep the motor running. You may need to replace it to solve the problems. We hope this helps!

Just recently replaced the defrost timer and also checked the condenser fan, evaporator fan, all seem to be working fine. Freezer reads 40 degrees, and fridge compartment reads 50 degrees. Should i be looking at replacing the capacitor or maybe mother board?

The refrigerator compressor does not start
For model number Hts17gbserww
Hello Edwin, thank you for your question. If the compressor is not starting we would recommend replacing the Capacitor Part Number: WR55X24065 and Overload/ptc - 5 speed Part Number: WR09X10106. I hope this helps!
