Can you hear the compressor running? Is the fan in the freezer running?

[kellonnie]

fan is running but dont hear compressor kick

1. Check to see if you have power to the compressor with a volt meter.

2. If you have power to the compressor then check the start and run winding with a ohm meter to make sure the windings are not open or shorted to ground.

3. If you have power to the compressor and the windings ohm out ok then replace the start relay.

I tried to look up a start relay for your model but could not find any info on the model number you listed.

Are you sure that is the correct model number?

r522aqkkq00, compressor is hot help any?

Still not a correct model number.

Have you done any of the things AJ said?

If your compressor is hot I would guess it's one of two things.

A bad compressor or a bad start relay.

Are you able to check the compressor winding with a ohm meter as AJ suggested?

If not then your best bet is to replace the start relay with a new one. The start relay mounts to the side of the compressor.

If your compressor is real hot then it could still be a bad relay keeping all windings powered up and causing internal overload shutdown. Seen it.

kellonnie I was under the impression from reading your old post that you were a appliance service technician.

Are you?

Then you should understand how to use a volt/ohm meter.

Check the compressor as I suggested with a meter. If the compressor checks ok then replace the start relay.

I looked up your model number and the start relay is part # 8201786.

You are part of the AJ Team.

Are you currently going to school someplace?

Refrigerators are not any hard to repair then any other appliance.
The most difficult part of repairing refrigerators would be sealed system work, but most of the time there is nothing wrong with the sealed system

Most of the time you will be replacing start relays, fans, defrost timers, control boards and cold controls or thermostats.

Easy money...
