Hi to all forum members,

Yesterday i received the new relay from our local online store and installed on the fridge pcb at RY2.
The fridge has been working normal again since last night. The freezer compartment has ice cube solid frozen this morning and the fruit compartment is cooling too.
Hope this fridge will work for many years to come.
Cheers to everyone who had contributed their kind assistance and patience to help me revive this old fridge to working condition....

Hi lotas,
Thank you for your kind assistance and guidance. I will order the needed relay. Fyi, i did installed a jumper for testing and the compressor starts and running. Running it for an hour, the half glass water become semi solid ice. After that i shut it off.

Will update this forum soon after installing the new relay.
Once again, thank you to those forum members who had contributed with helpful comments....

I applied dc12v(300ma),negative to terminal with diode image and positive to terminal near D5 marking. Immediately i can hear the relay one click sound.
But you mentioned about checking the continuity of the closing contacts, is it the opposite two separate terminals(near RY2 marking)? I didn't get any continuity from the two contacts as per your picture....

The starting capacitor is 4uF 400vac, it is reading about 3.79uF from a capacitor meter.
Sorry i do not know how to check whether the contacts on the compressor relay close when 12v is supplied to the relay. Is it possible to test it using external 12vdc? Kindly guide on how to check.

Hi all forum members,

Few days ago, i might have forgotten to close my home fridge freezer door completely. The next day, the ice cubes and frozen meat almost melted halfway and the freezer doesn't feel cool. I shut it off, wipe dry and let it air dry for one whole day. The next day i switched on the fridge, the compressor run for a second and it shuts off(no vibration and no sound at all) only the internal freezer compartment fan is running but is not cooling even i switched on a full day.
After shut off, i dismantle the rear water pan holder and reached to the compressor wiring....
