    The part number on that link is different. The only in stock relay with the same part number is a used item from the US

    Re: LG Fridge / Freezer works intermittently

    Morning! We had someone look at the fridge. (They happened to be fixing the washing machine under warranty) Apparently the relay on the PCB needs replacing and there was nothing wrong with the PTC relay afterall. Which is confusing as we thought we were testing correctly by looking for continuity in any pair of pins. What did we do wrong? We need to know the old PTC relay works to send the new one back (paid €50 for it, we live in France). The next problem is we can’t find the PCB relay, JW1aFHN DC12V. Is there an equivalent that would work? Thank you

    How does the compressor kill the relay? Thanks.

    Doh!!! Is there a way of testing whether the compressor is faulty?

    Hi, the compressor’s not running at all now so cannot tell if it was overheating. There is no continuity in the new relay on any pair of pins (very low reading, no beep on the multimeter). So presumably the new relay is faulty? Could there be something else wrong with our fridge that kills the relay?
    Thanks
