Condenser fan at compressor working?

The electronic timer will need to be replaced. Some companies call it the Defrost Temperature Control, it's part # 241508001. You can order from Repair Clinic, or Sears, or Appliance Parts Pros, or Marcone, or Reliable Parts, etc. The cost varies, but plan on about $68.

the touchpad goes to a relay which may be out..

You have to isolate this problem. It could be one of three things. The compressor, the condenser fan motor or the water valve that feeds the ice maker and wtaer dispenser. Also if the high pitch sound is compared to that of a bird then it is definitely the condenser motor. To isolate the problem take the back cover off. LISTEN FOR THE HIGH PITCHED/HUMMING NOISE! Use a flash light and see if you can tell where it is coming from while it is doing the noise. Dont try this unless you know what your doing. Stop the condenser fan blade with the end of a hard object, but stop it gradually. Dont try this cause you might brake/bend the blade. But if you did and the noise stop then you figured out your problem. If not ythen disconnect the water valve. It has to doulble harness wires attached to it. if problem still exisit then it has to come from the compressor. Unless you have a warranty then theres nothing no one can do except change it. $300-400 job easily.

Hi i have a hotpoint fridge freezer both my lights are on at the top,1 red 1 green,my freezer does not seem to be cold enough,there is also little drops thats can be set to 1 or 2 what are they for? Think my food in freezer will need to be binned but my fridge is very cold.

Hello Valarie Nonos - The issue sounds like it might be related to the temperature in the freezer. What is it set to? Make sure that the temperature is approximately around 8 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. If the freezer is too warm, the ice maker won't cycle properly. If it is properly set, then consult a professional to accurately pinpoint any potentially more serious issues like a faulty ice maker or ice maker valve.

Ye, try to first replace the Relay, if that does not help then go to the run capacitor. Those are going to be your only 2 problems that you will have as long as the compressor is still doing its job by atleast running

Change your water filter, purge water for about 3 minutes, let the unit cool back down for 12 hours and then let me know what it does.

Sounds like you have a cracked, faulty filter that needs to be changed, or a loose water valve connection.

Unplug the machine first of all, then find where the water is coming from. Its either going to be from the drain line or one of the water lines located near there. Patch it and after letting the components dry out, reconnect them, hook it up and turn it back on and see if it works.

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.

Sounds like the cold control has stuck . Unplug the two wires from the cold control and plug them together. Turn one wire over and plug it into the other. away from the cold control.
The cold control is the knob in the ref that turns it on and off and has numbers on it. (Thermostat)
If it runs then that cold control (Thernostat) is the problem.
If that doesn't work DO THIS:
The relay on the compressor may need replaced
A relay starts the compressor with a higher voltage and then quickly kicks out
Thats what is happening with yours
Its best for a tech to replace The relay but you can do it
Take your model number to your Local Appliance parts store they will have a diagram
showing you how to install the relay. Its called a hard start relay
also try hooking the two wires together on the cold control to route around the cold control.

Hi!
A relay starts the compressor with a higher voltage and then quickly kicks out

the water coming in from the house pluming is very low pressure thier is no way for me to tell what you have as far as the connection to the house plumbing ,you would need to find where is it and see why its restricted . I do suspect though that it has a peircing type valve that clamps onto a cold water pipe if that is the case what needs to be done it get one just like that peircing valve and install it next to the exsisting one and attach the 1/4 line to the ref. to it
if you dont feel your capable of it call a plumber and not a appliance tech since i am 100% confident its the supply to ref. and not a ref. problem

Press and hold the filter reset button on the front of despensor 10-15 seconds until the green red and orange lights come on.

Here is a parts diagram for the parts on the units compressor

Part numbers 30 and 55 are plugged into the side of your compressor.Which is located on the outter lower back side of the unit.
99% of the time it will be part number 30.

I hear a clicking noise or freezer and refrigerator are warm This is the most common repair for this issue.Start Relay The clicking could be the start relay.If the start relay is bad, the compressor will not start and you will hear a clicking noise in 2-5 minute intervals. The clicking noise is the overload cutting the compressor off when it overheats from trying to start with a bad start relay. To find out if this is bad first unplug the refrigerator. Remove the lower rear cover from your refrigerator. Then take the cover off that is on the side of the compressor,you will see wires going to this (Photo below). Now you should be able to see the start relay plugged on to the side of the compressor and unplug it. Now the best way to tell if it's bad is to shake it. If it rattles, it's bad and needs to be replaced. Inspect it carefully for any burn marks, if it has any replace it. If not, most of the time it's ok.. A quick check on the compressor is to remove the start relay. You will see 3 pins connect a multi meter set for continuity. You should have continuity between any of the 3 pins. If you do not the compressor is bad. Also check from each pin to a good ground on the cabinet. There should be no continuity if there is the compressor is bad. A 3 in 1 start relay can also be used as a substitution. Just make sure it is rated for the horsepower of the compressor. If you replace it and it doesn't work then the compressor is bad and you
