Learn how to test a refrigerator start relay with Fridge Mentor’s clear DIY diagnostic guide. A failed relay can cause repeated clicking, brief buzzing, rising temperatures, or a compressor that will not start. The guide explains how to unplug the refrigerator, access the compressor compartment, identify the relay assembly, and remove it safely. You will learn two proven testing methods: listening for loose internal pieces with the shake test and checking continuity or resistance with a multimeter. Fridge Mentor also covers replacement steps and additional faults to investigate, including the run capacitor, locked compressor, overload protector, and control board issues.
