Lol…it’s fairly simple and takes about 20 min’s (that includes getting the freezer/fridge away from the wall so you can get behind it to do the operation), but if someone is fearful of a capacitor to begin with, they prob oughta just hire someone to do it…or make that high dolla trip to Lowe’s/HD.Very good information there Bub.
You are sharp tonight, seriously that's good info.
Do you want to talk about discharging the capacitor before F'ng with or just see the new fro hair styles??
Kinda sucks that they dont make the old bimetallic Klixons that they used to. You could reset those.@Mastermind and others…
For you up and coming appliance salvage guru’s when it comes to putting new life into a fridge or freezer that *s-wordt the bed on ya, here’s your best buddy…a relay overload start capacitor, as well as on top of replacing the klixon overloads. And I’d write down this mfg and part number, some are gonna need it one day, trust me. If not, Lowes or HD will always have your $1-3K new, replacement appliance waiting for you.
Now what’s pictured in the bag is the old *s-wordt (cover, couple of wires with spade terminals, and overload) that came out of my side-by-side fridge/freezer out in the shop.

Yep…rarely see the good bimetallic any more. Nowadays they’re all a heavy ceramic/graphite-base mix with an alloy, the heat eventually makes ‘em brittle over the years and poof…yer *s-wordt don’t run anymore. I’ve seen ‘em go out in less than a year on some of this newfangled bullshitt they’re producing now…I’m talking $3K Samsungs and *s-wordt.Kinda sucks that they dont make the old bimetallic Klixons that they used to. You could reset those.
The new ones just have thos little tablet-looking insert thats held between spring loaded fingers. Sometimes you can turn them around and get another go out of them.
Had our old one do that when I was out of town. Bosslady got a new one. I fixed the old one and kept it out in the lean-to for a beer fridge for another 7 or 8 years before the compressor locked up.
He did that on porpoise. Thanks for draggin me back in Timmy.Nice boots. In before @Redfin
Is there a shortage somewhere?…Lowes and HD here got plenty and then some of all flavors and sizes.
In case anyone has a use for one, GFY.
Yerwelcome.

If you like those you definitely need to try these!!These *f-worders are gooderView attachment 316286
