Re: Refrigerator induction motor: peak current draw

Thanks. The fridge I have now is a Whirlpool and it is in its 14 year now. It's having trouble starting and I have again replaced the start relay with a 3in 1. It's located in Phoenix and has spent months at a time running in an un-air conditioned house during the summer when I'm away. All in all I have no complaints. I'll shop for another Whirlpool.

Re: Refrigerator induction motor: peak current draw

It seems people here have strong opinions on refrigerators here. There is a general agreement that GE fridges are crap and the local appliance parts shop encouraged me to buy either a Samsung or LG because their parts business on those brands was so strong they were putting his kids through college. I visited a consumer web site and not a single manufacturer ranked higher than a single star.

Soooooo, I need a new fridge and don't want to buy a POS. Which manufacturer is making a good product these days?
