What else can I help you with?
Even after changing the start relay and the capacitor what would keep a Frigidaire refrigerator compressor from starting and just buzz?
Very possible that the start winding of the compressor motor is partially shorted. A grounded winding would cause a breaker to trip, however, a shorted start winding would not produce enough torque to turn the compressor and the run winding would not kick in resulting in the buzzing to stop in about 5 - 10 seconds (start winding timing out). Change the compressor motor or get a new refrigerator, depending on cost factors. Call a professional for compressor replacement unless you want a huge headache. Gary Yingling - Avon Lake, Ohio
If the compressor in a refrigerator stopped working how would its failure affect the heat transfer cycle?
If the compressor in a refrigerator stopped working, the heat transfer cycle would be disrupted because the compressor is responsible for circulating refrigerant and compressing it to remove heat from the interior of the refrigerator. Without the compressor, the refrigerant cannot absorb heat from the interior and release it to the surroundings, resulting in a lack of cooling inside the refrigerator.
My refrigerator sounds like it is trying to kick on over and over and then eventually it does kick on what could be wrong?
There is a small relay on the compressor of every refrigerator. This relay only closes when the compressor is starting, and opens as soon as the motor comes up to speed. As an experienced refrigeration technician, I would say that the problem definitely lies in that relay.
What would cause a refrigerator to overload the circuit breaker?
An overloaded circuit breaker for a refrigerator can be caused by multiple factors, such as a malfunctioning compressor drawing more current than normal, a damaged power cord or outlet, or a short circuit within the refrigerator's electrical components. It is important to have a qualified technician inspect the refrigerator to identify and address the specific cause of the overloading.
Why would my refrigerator shake when the compressor stops?
The shaking could be caused by the refrigerant flowing through the system, which creates vibrations when the compressor shuts off. It could also be due to unbalanced internal components or the evaporator fan motor. If the shaking is excessive or accompanied by unusual noises, it's best to have a technician inspect the refrigerator.
What happens if your refrigerator gets flipped upside down?
If a refrigerator gets flipped upside down, the oil from the compressor can flow into the refrigeration lines and block them, causing potential damage to the compressor. It is recommended to wait for 24 hours before turning on the refrigerator after it has been flipped back upright to allow the oil to drain back to the compressor.
A refrigerator with a freon restriction would have what symptoms?
High head pressure; low suction pressure; overheated compressor
What kind of single phase motor would most likely be used to drive a refrigeration compressor?
I would use a totally enclosed motor.
Would opening the refrigerator cool a room in a house?
If you opened the refrigerator door a person can cool themselves off. It would not be energy efficient though to try to cool an entire room or house through use of a refrigerator. A refrigerator would not be capable of cooling that large of an area.
How do you replace A REFRIGERATORS COMPRESSOR?
The only way I found to do it was to take the refrigerator outside so I would have room, then put a new refrigerator where the broke one used to be...hope this helps...
What size electric motor do you need to run an air compressor I have a furnace blower motor. Would that be suitable or do I need a heavier duty one?
It would all depend on the size of the compressor. If it's a small one(like for an airbrush gun) it might just work, but if it's a compressor to power impact wrenches or similar it'd probably not work.
Why would a refrigerator become hot?
A refrigerator that's working normally becomes cold on the inside and hot on at least part of the outside, usually somewhere in the back. The refrigerator's job is to remove heat from the inside, where the food is stored. When it does that, it must do something with the heat. It's usually built to dissipate that heat from a series of tubes mounted on the back. If it is hot inside the compartment, it is likely that the gas has leaked away and the compressor running hot as a result.
