Default Compressor not starting
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: MZD2665HEW
Age: 1 - 4 years

Our refirgerator/freezer started making buzzing & clicking sounds over a week ago & yesterday it finally quit cooling. The lights & fans run. The compressor tries to start but never does. What to change to fix - Overloadrelay? Any way to test?

Call the factory, the compressor is still under warranty.

Default Compressor is running now

After leaving everything off, but plugged in, over night, I turned the Freezer & Fridge controls back on this morning & the compressor started first attempt & seems to be cooling now. Would it still be the compressor? Our paperwork doesn't say the compressor is under warranty after the first year, is it?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
