00:00:03.550 [Music] 00:00:12.10000:00:12.110 hi this is Troy from a suppliants in 00:00:15.04900:00:15.059 Salado Ohio welcome back to another 00:00:17.30000:00:17.310 in-home diagnostic video brought to you 00:00:19.79000:00:19.800 by appliance video comm for the repair 00:00:23.45000:00:23.460 today what you're gonna need is a 00:00:24.98000:00:24.990 quarter inch extension for your drill or 00:00:27.83000:00:27.840 a quarter-inch nut driver a multimeter 00:00:30.05000:00:30.060 wire strips flashlight and electrical 00:00:33.29000:00:33.300 tape okay today what we're looking at is 00:00:35.90000:00:35.910 a Frigidaire refrigerator and as you can 00:00:39.59000:00:39.600 probably see from the displays up here 00:00:41.24000:00:41.250 that the freezers at 71 your fresh food 00:00:43.31000:00:43.320 is at 75 they're both set to be at 0 and 00:00:47.20900:00:47.219 at 37 respectively for the temperatures 00:00:49.40000:00:49.410 so it is not cooling at all and when I 00:00:53.06000:00:53.070 can show you or at least inform you ups 00:00:55.16000:00:55.170 that you'll know to look for is that 00:00:56.86900:00:56.879 this refrigerator if I open the freezer 00:00:58.81900:00:58.829 up I can hear the fan running the fan in 00:01:01.93900:01:01.949 there is your evaporator fan that's the 00:01:03.79900:01:03.809 fan that moves all the cold air from 00:01:05.66000:01:05.670 across R evaporator into the fresh food 00:01:08.35900:01:08.369 section and recirculates back around so 00:01:11.63000:01:11.640 with that with lights on and fans on 00:01:14.35900:01:14.369 that's telling me that we have a 00:01:16.03900:01:16.049 compressor issue in the back in the back 00:01:18.28900:01:18.299 it's either a compressor is not working 00:01:21.62000:01:21.630 right the starting components are not 00:01:23.17900:01:23.189 working right or we're stuck with 00:01:26.30000:01:26.310 something completely burned out I would 00:01:28.67000:01:28.680 say it could potentially be a defrost 00:01:30.10900:01:30.119 issue but since the fan is on it is not 00:01:33.80000:01:33.810 stuck in defrost in this unit itself if 00:01:37.10000:01:37.110 you have this type of control setting up 00:01:39.23000:01:39.240 here inside here is your defrost Control 00:01:42.53000:01:42.540 Board and if it was stuck in defrost we 00:01:45.26000:01:45.270 would have no faint on either so we had 00:01:48.10900:01:48.119 to do now is wait to pull the unit out 00:01:49.63900:01:49.649 get to the compressor in the back I'm 00:01:51.53000:01:51.540 add that compressor in the back off the 00:01:53.51000:01:53.520 compressor there's going to be three 00:01:54.85900:01:54.869 pins coming off of it once I remove the 00:01:56.60000:01:56.610 starting components I'm going to use my 00:01:58.49000:01:58.500 meter to check for the actual ohms 00:02:01.81900:02:01.829 resistance across to every to every 00:02:05.89900:02:05.909 combination of the three and you're 00:02:07.73000:02:07.740 going to have three separate readings 00:02:08.96000:02:08.970 two of the readings will add up to the 00:02:11.60000:02:11.610 total of the other reading that will 00:02:14.24000:02:14.250 tell you what your windings are and 00:02:16.06900:02:16.079 they're okay or not 00:02:17.30000:02:17.310 and I check from each pin to ground to 00:02:20.24000:02:20.250 make sure it's not shorted out to ground 00:02:21.98000:02:21.990 if all that checks out okay 00:02:24.92000:02:24.930 chances are you have bad starting 00:02:26.69000:02:26.700 components you could have potential 00:02:28.73000:02:28.740 damage to the inside and compressor but 00:02:30.17000:02:30.180 that's not something you could test for 00:02:31.57000:02:31.580 there is a universal starting opponent 00:02:34.37000:02:34.380 which I will essentially use on this 00:02:36.59000:02:36.600 unit if that's the problem to get it 00:02:38.44900:02:38.459 back up and running so I'm gonna pull 00:02:40.10000:02:40.110 the unit out now as we get to the back 00:02:41.39000:02:41.400 okay so what we're gonna do now is we're 00:02:43.22000:02:43.230 gonna remove the screws pull in the back 00:02:45.65000:02:45.660 panel onto the unit I'm trimming with a 00:02:57.19900:02:57.209 panel just slide the back up your 00:02:58.88000:02:58.890 waterline just so you don't go to remove 00:03:00.25900:03:00.269 your waterline and I'm looking at do we 00:03:02.44900:03:02.459 have a to come see compressor you can 00:03:07.19000:03:07.200 still use the starting components on the 00:03:08.96000:03:08.970 compressor being it's a Frigidaire from 00:03:14.63000:03:14.640 my experience and just our experience 00:03:17.21000:03:17.220 that you'd have a potentially a higher 00:03:19.85000:03:19.860 fail rate with the starting opponents I 00:03:23.96000:03:23.970 would put on the unit I just need to 00:03:27.74000:03:27.750 double check and make sure it's not the 00:03:28.67000:03:28.680 actual compressors damaged and that it 00:03:31.85000:03:31.860 is the actual starting opponents and it 00:03:33.77000:03:33.780 go from there so what we have to do is 00:03:36.08000:03:36.090 we have to remove the starting opponents 00:03:39.19900:03:39.209 which the starting opponents are right 00:03:41.21000:03:41.220 inside here you have your overload in 00:03:43.94000:03:43.950 your relay for your starting components 00:03:46.25000:03:46.260 right in here what we're going to do is 00:03:47.44900:03:47.459 they have a little plat a little metal 00:03:48.94900:03:48.959 clip pulling them on to take that metal 00:03:51.92000:03:51.930 clip off it hooks on the bottom and 00:03:54.59000:03:54.600 wraps around and then hooks on the top 00:03:56.62000:03:56.630 so I'm gonna go ahead just check it to 00:03:58.67000:03:58.680 see if I have any problems with the 00:03:59.72000:03:59.730 compressor so the bottom two pins are 00:04:02.39000:04:02.400 showing me but not about 10 00:04:04.84000:04:04.850 what are they still fluctuating the top 00:04:09.56000:04:09.570 and the pin closest to me with a better 00:04:13.34000:04:13.350 look it's right it 00:04:16.97900:04:16.989 it's fluctuating quite a bit settling 00:04:22.11000:04:22.120 right around five and five and a half so 00:04:26.82000:04:26.830 we're pretty close as far as a whining 00:04:30.51000:04:30.520 go then the double check them again 00:04:32.62900:04:32.639 there's this one down here 00:04:40.61000:04:40.620 he's right at 10 so it is pretty close 00:04:46.19000:04:46.200 I can't definitely say if it's a bad 00:04:48.56000:04:48.570 compressor at this point or not because 00:04:50.09000:04:50.100 the the windings are showing fairly 00:04:52.94000:04:52.950 close well they should be registering 00:04:54.37900:04:54.389 I'm going to now check for continuity on 00:04:57.50000:04:57.510 the check for it being shorted to ground 00:05:06.10000:05:06.110 all right so no short to ground so what 00:05:10.49000:05:10.500 we're going to do now is discuss with 00:05:12.83000:05:12.840 the customer options and make a decision 00:05:16.33000:05:16.340 on the repair from here all right so 00:05:19.85000:05:19.860 what we're going to do first is we're 00:05:22.19000:05:22.200 going to get the starting opponents 00:05:23.39000:05:23.400 pulled back out of the inside of the 00:05:24.80000:05:24.810 unit we're hoping that we get them out 00:05:27.23000:05:27.240 fairly easily and the Lions can flex 00:05:33.32000:05:33.330 some you just don't want to bend them to 00:05:36.19000:05:36.200 significantly so you get two-part 00:05:38.87000:05:38.880 components back out you got the 00:05:44.33000:05:44.340 components back out you're going to 00:05:46.10000:05:46.110 separate them there's actually two 00:05:49.70000:05:49.710 separate pieces 00:05:53.23900:05:53.249 you're gonna reuse this piece right here 00:05:55.73900:05:55.749 this is just basically your overload 00:05:59.60000:05:59.610 start relay on this thing you do that 00:06:03.92900:06:03.939 the rattle I told her this this relay is 00:06:07.88900:06:07.899 bad so I set that aside I'm gonna plug 00:06:13.76900:06:13.779 anything back in yet we're gonna 00:06:15.71900:06:15.729 eliminate the plug off of this plug that 00:06:20.21900:06:20.229 was on to the starting opponents I'm 00:06:27.83900:06:27.849 gonna peel back these wires a little bit 00:06:34.42900:06:34.439 I'm gonna use is I am using a universal 00:06:38.18900:06:38.199 starting point cap it basically works on 00:06:42.14900:06:42.159 all compressors for a refrigerator you 00:06:45.14900:06:45.159 decide to follow your directions 00:06:46.01900:06:46.029 properly to hook it up and I'll explain 00:06:50.27900:06:50.289 to how I'm hooking this one up as we go 00:06:52.37900:06:52.389 through the kit comes with two wire nuts 00:06:57.91900:06:57.929 and it comes with the starting opponent 00:07:00.38900:07:00.399 it has two black wires that are by 00:07:03.83900:07:03.849 themselves which are for the actual 00:07:06.77900:07:06.789 power leads that we had stripped back on 00:07:09.17900:07:09.189 the unit it has a red white and black 00:07:11.90900:07:11.919 wire that according to the package the 00:07:14.06900:07:14.079 diagram shows exactly which ones to hook 00:07:16.07900:07:16.089 it up to it has your compressor which 00:07:18.47900:07:18.489 says common start run and tells you what 00:07:21.17900:07:21.189 color wire goes to those plugs or pins 00:07:25.49900:07:25.509 off of your compressor so I like to lay 00:07:27.92900:07:27.939 it on the floor and since this one has 00:07:29.79000:07:29.800 one pin on top and two pins on bottom I 00:07:31.85900:07:31.869 lay down the ground just like the way 00:07:33.32900:07:33.339 that the picture looks as it is on there 00:07:35.99900:07:36.009 so I can look and say that the back one 00:07:38.33900:07:38.349 which is the farthest one from me is the 00:07:40.25900:07:40.269 white wire so I'm gonna take my white 00:07:42.05900:07:42.069 wire 00:07:43.99000:07:44.000 I'm gonna push it back on to that tent I 00:07:47.77000:07:47.780 have a push on my parent the other 00:07:50.51000:07:50.520 bottom warrior is the red so I'm gonna 00:07:52.46000:07:52.470 push my red wire onto the bottom pin and 00:07:58.37000:07:58.380 then that leaves me my black wire which 00:08:00.65000:08:00.660 goes to the top and pin this by itself 00:08:04.10000:08:04.110 which is the common once I have them 00:08:07.13000:08:07.140 secured into place I'm going to refined 00:08:11.06000:08:11.070 the two wires that I had snipped free 00:08:13.40000:08:13.410 because I matter which black wire goes 00:08:15.35000:08:15.360 to which wire coming from your unit you 00:08:19.70000:08:19.710 find them you put two of them together 00:08:21.82000:08:21.830 and then I wire tie them after I do wire 00:08:27.44000:08:27.450 tie I make sure I don't have any wire 00:08:29.42000:08:29.430 sticking out the bottom make sure my 00:08:34.61000:08:34.620 wire tie is on there securely okay my 00:08:37.34000:08:37.350 other black wire to the remaining wire 00:08:40.31000:08:40.320 left from my unit now put them together 00:08:47.50000:08:47.510 and twist my wire ties on my wire down 00:08:50.51000:08:50.520 there now they're nice and tight so you 00:08:55.52000:08:55.530 start seeing the wires actually twist 00:08:57.11000:08:57.120 around each other what's that down there 00:08:59.90000:08:59.910 now on this one it has and you if you 00:09:02.90000:09:02.910 the same one as I do to you are see 0 00:09:05.69000:09:05.700 for 10 there's two plugs that are in 00:09:09.08000:09:09.090 line with the red and the white and 00:09:10.94000:09:10.950 there's an overload relay which you want 00:09:14.09000:09:14.100 to plug back into the unit will do that 00:09:20.48000:09:20.490 plug back in you want to find the plugs 00:09:23.15000:09:23.160 that you had disconnected and unplugged 00:09:24.91000:09:24.920 plug them back together and once you get 00:09:29.18000:09:29.190 them plugged back together before 00:09:31.07000:09:31.080 buttoning up and putting the whole unit 00:09:32.72000:09:32.730 back together I like to take my power 00:09:34.34000:09:34.350 cord and plug the unit back in and we 00:09:38.87000:09:38.880 have compressor so that took care of our 00:09:42.35000:09:42.360 problem 00:09:44.37000:09:44.380 it could run for one day one week one 00:09:48.63000:09:48.640 month one year ten years with this 00:09:51.75000:09:51.760 component on there I cannot really say 00:09:53.94000:09:53.950 which way because there is always a 00:09:56.94000:09:56.950 potential for internal damage to the 00:09:58.47000:09:58.480 unit and I can already feel it is 00:10:01.05000:10:01.060 removing heat from the inside of the 00:10:04.05000:10:04.060 refrigerator the wire the hose over here 00:10:06.84000:10:06.850 is very warm and then ones on the other 00:10:08.94000:10:08.950 side are cold I'm going to reassemble 00:10:11.85000:10:11.860 I'm gonna place these units back these 00:10:13.62000:10:13.630 pieces back inside the unit make sure 00:10:15.69000:10:15.700 when you tuck them in there that they're 00:10:16.95000:10:16.960 not touching the rollers so that you 00:10:18.75000:10:18.760 can't have them back in there far enough 00:10:20.25000:10:20.260 and not have them come disconnected for 00:10:22.35000:10:22.360 some reason I'm going to put the bat 00:10:24.24000:10:24.250 back back on its four screws and that 00:10:27.48000:10:27.490 completes our repair for the day so as 00:10:30.90000:10:30.910 I'm putting this back together some of 00:10:32.13000:10:32.140 the nice wood reminds you of and make 00:10:33.87000:10:33.880 sure this bat panel has to go back on 00:10:36.24000:10:36.250 the unit this back panel allows the fan 00:10:39.78000:10:39.790 to move air properly across your 00:10:42.30000:10:42.310 condensing coils so that it will remove 00:10:45.36000:10:45.370 heat properly if it's not back on there 00:10:47.49000:10:47.500 you will have a cooling problem you will 00:10:50.49000:10:50.500 not be able to make your refrigerator or 00:10:52.44000:10:52.450 your freezer cold enough to maintain 00:10:54.63000:10:54.640 your food temperature 00:11:04.37000:11:04.380 and then right here you probably took 00:11:07.68000:11:07.690 one of these off the back if you have a 00:11:08.91000:11:08.920 water line going to your unit you want 00:11:11.06900:11:11.079 to make sure your water line is in here 00:11:12.63000:11:12.640 it is for your own safety and your house 00:11:15.03000:11:15.040 is on safety if this is not on there you 00:11:18.18000:11:18.190 have the potential to hold the water 00:11:20.43000:11:20.440 line out of your water valve or break it 00:11:22.94900:11:22.959 off at your
