The compressor won’t kick in unless i let it sit for a couple of hours. Then it will cool down to the correct temp. Then when it warms and it’s time to cool back down, all the fans come on but the compressor won’t kick on. I’ve already replaced the run capacitor. What am i missing?
For model number ARS2661BW
Hello Frank, thank you for your question. It sounds like the temperature control thermostat is bad. The thermostat regulates the temperature in the unit and when it gets below what the fridge is set for, the thermostat tells the compressor to kick in and start up again. We would recommend replacing this part number PS11738492. I hope this helps!

compressor not cycling on/compressor not pumping refrigerant
Using a nut driver I removed the lower back panel to gain access to the compressor.Removed a clip that held Run Capacitor and Overload Relay in place on the compressor.I removed the capacitor first then pulled the relay off from the compressor.Then I unplugged the wire harness from the relay.This job is very simple if you have original replacement parts in hand to re-install.PartSelect provided me with the exact replacement parts... Update: My refrigerator has been running 6 weeks now.Soon after I sent the note above I had a Technician check for refrigerant in the system.There was none!The Technician,who replaced my evaporator-heater in November failed to plug properly the port on the compressor.So,this thing is now running better than before.It now makes ice in the same container at the same setting,in 6 hours instead of 8 hours.
