Hmm. I'll give that a try. Thanks. I've heard of people replacing their own compressor and they say it's not that hard a job. ----- Original Message ----- From: NLG To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2008 5:36 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] fixing a freezer compressor
Replacing a compressor is costly, since you would have to hire it done (more than likely) because of rechartging the system. Is this freezer a self defrosting type? If so, your problem could be with the timer and not actually the compressor. If it is a self defrosting model, locate the timer, could be behind the removable grill at the bottom of the unit near the floor in the front. Insert a screwdriver into the slot on the timer and slowly turn it clockwise. If the compressor starts, most likely replacing the timer will solve your problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Riddle To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2008 14:22 Subject: [BlindHandyMan] fixing a freezer compressor Ok, there's not much to a freezer, a pump compressor and thermostat, correct? Our freezer, the one I wrote here about earlier, is broken, and I think it's the compressor because the light stays on but the motor doesn't, and of course everything thawed out. So, this being a Kenmore freezer, how much would a compressor cost and what's generally needed to instal it?
