The fridge is staying cold and the cooling fan remains on continuously. The compressor kicks on for about 10 seconds then off for about 1 minute and 40 seconds then back on again for about 10 seconds, this cycle just keeps going.
I removed the back cover and cleaned the dust out and plugged the unit back in and it goes back to the 10 second routine. The compressor is warm but not hot. Any idea as to what is causing this?
Sounds like the problem is a bad compressor start relay. You also have to order the wire connector for this relay.

The start relay AP3790738

The wire harness connector AP4303619

Except my model number is: FRT21LR7D S/KGene, I was pleased to see you had the solution for Greeneye, hoping you’ll have one for me!
If the problem is exactly the same, then the solution should be very similar. If you need the correct part number, post the complete model number of the refrigerator.
