Frige compressor cuts out after 60seconds after it is turned on

It\'s called a short cycle. Most of the time, it means your compressor is about to fail cause your head pressure is to high and cuts out on the high pressure sensor, or your thermostat has issues or if your lucky, your low on freon and it cuts out on the low pressure switch. The unit when the compressor is not running, the pressure equalizes and runs around 30-70 psi, give or take a few. When the thermostat says it\'s too hot in the box, it turns the compressor on. When it does that the freon is pumped and as it gets the coil colder, the pressure drops and if there isn\'t enough freon in the system, then the pressure falls below the set point and the pressure switch shuts the compressor off. I wouldn\'t let it run like that as it\'s hard on the compressor and left running, will shorten the life of the compressor.

Sometimes ice will build up because of hummity. dont know where your at but best thing would be to get everything out and turn off . and defrost manually we used to do this on old friges with a hairdryer. it takes a while. when you start it back up make sure the seal seals good and if ice builds up again the your going to get to call repair man. Hvac and all compressors go through defrost mode. You may have so much ice it wont defrost, also a full freezer works more effecient than empty.

your compressor is busted due to low chARGE OF OIL in the compressor or meybe the internal overload of the compressor collaps you must replace your compressor with the same s/n num..and size...

dirty condencer coils bad fan motor or compressor start relay on the side of compressor or turned off then back on without waiting 5 min.

. Cut everything off for a few minutes then turn it back on and listen for a click from the compressor relay as the compressor tries to start.
Is the compressor motor running.If no check starter/overload relay.

If the relay is ok the problem is the compressor which normally has a five year warranty.

The fans are controlled with a clixon that has a cut in at 5 degrees, and cut out at 20 degrees. If the unit is running and the fans are not comng on then I would have to say you are out of freon. But your condensor fan could be running and the compressor NOT be running which could be a problem with your compressor. Find out if your compressor is running by taking an amp draw. If compressor IS running then you are low on freon. If the compressor is running and your evaporator coil is cold and your fans AREN'T coming on then your clixon is bad.

Dont know this model but it may have two compressors and only one working.

If the fan motor is running at the compressor you should first replace the compressor start relay.
If the fan motor at the compressor is not running replace the defrost control.

i dont think so i would look at the compressor kicking out on thermal overload or a faulty thermostat thermostats have two settings cut in cut out your cut in could be bad and not turning the compressor on till the temp reaches melting temps now if your hearing a click buzz then you need to look at the compressor and make sure the compressor fan is running but its not a defrost promblem
