For model number GTS22JBPCRWW
Hello Lubo, thank you for contacting us. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the compressor. If it is faulty, then you may need to replace the compressor kit part number PS8768493, to solve the problem. Maybe the compressor is drawing more current than rated and the relay is trying to shut it off. Glad to be of assistance!
