Re: Samsung RSA1WTMH -fail- compressor not running – help pl

Hi KBCFC,

I have exactly the same problem as you described it with exactly that fridge. Because of the clicking noise, I thought it was the PTC Relay (although it didn’t rattle). Like you described it, it doesn’t work with the new one. A new overload protector did not do the job either (the new one rattles as much as the old one).

Although not starting, the compressor draws a high current and gets hot after a while, so I assume (and hope) it is not the compressor itself that is broken. As you stated, I find it more likely that it does not get enough voltage to start.

As it is now more than a year later, did you get your problem solved?

I’d be grateful to learn how.

Kind regards,

Linus
