I have a side by side 2006 GE fridge. Saturday morrning I noted a rather noticeable clicking sound coming from the back of the unit. The sound was timed about 1 to 1.5 seconds. The unit was not cooling. I pulled the fridge out and the sound was coming from under the cover for the motherboard. I opened the cover and felt the relays on the board and determined one of them was the source of the sound. I unplugged the unit and tried letting it set for about an hour. When I plugged it back in the unit seemed to want to start (that is I heard the compressor momentarily start and the condensor fan begin to rotate) for about 1 second then the clicking started and all progress ceased.
I have ordered a motherboard but am unsure that this is the problem.
Sounds like the same problem I have with a 2001 Kitchenaid fridge that was diagnosed today by a technician as ‘I need a new compressor.’ Is a compressor something that one could install by oneself if one is mechanically and electrically inclined?
I guess it all depends how much you know about refridgeration. It would require you to be able to hard solder, vacum down the system, add oil and refrigerant to the proper level using a gage set. You would also have to add servicing valves as these are not included on modern home refridgeration units.
I have a simular problem. Someone use wire twists on my 22o line to my oven and also added other recepitacles on one leg and well the twists gave way and had power outages on that line. now that its all repaired correctly my GE Spectra JBP68HD1CC oven doen not work as with the clock . the top burners and oven lite work fine but no clock control or oven… I checked the voltage up to the oven terminals and all work fine. Oven worked fine till power loss from bac connections… So is it the board or can I replace the Caps on the control board and hope for a little life…Any hints will be greatly appreciated.
I can not find the wiring diagram and hoping to repair this puppy myself as i am pretty good at electronics and trouble shootin. But dont want to tear into the stove until i have a game plan the kids have to eat ya know…
I just recieved a heating element today and the plugs are different than my old one. The old one has three wire hook ups new one only has two. And where my top wire goes on the new one is much bigger do I need to change the end or what do I need to do does a wire need to connect to the thermostat help me out.
