Maytag compressor gt2428PEFW PART #W10309997
SOURCE: can't find compressor
The compressor is LG part number 2521C-A7256 which they have in stock. I believe this unit has a 7 year warranty on the parts of the sealed system (which includes the compressor) but this is most definitely not a do it yourself repair. Only someone certified to handle refrigerants, has the proper refrigerant recovery equipment, and charging equipment (and knows how to use them) should ever attempt to replace a compressor. Compressor failures are rare, and the unit should be diagnosed by a professional service technician, as most often your problem will not be the compressor, but some other issue. Please do not rate this solution as anything but a FixYa lowers my score.
SOURCE: on the unit model/serial# tag there is three
Compressor LRA ( locked rotor amps)meaning that if you hold that rotor and do not allow it to turn, it would draw that many amps.
Compressor RLA (rated load amps) meaning the amps the compressor will draw at a certain outdoor temperature usssually 95°.
Fan FLA (Full load amps) meaning that's the maximum amps the motor will run at continuosly.
SOURCE: what is LRA in compressor. whether LRA is used to
LRA is Lock rotor amps.
It is according to compressor capacity.
SOURCE: Fridge not getting cold...but freezer is working
the fridge gets its cold air from the freezer fan blowing it through small air passages between the freezer and fridge. when you adjust the temperature in the fridge you are increasing/decreasing the amount of air being let into the fridge. Two common problems that could cause the freezer to freeze but not the fridge getting cool is the freezer coil is frooze like a ice cube blocking the air going to the fridge or freezer fan is not working could be bad or froze up due to too much ice. If fan works after manually defrosting problem could be in the auto defrost mechanism. If fan don't work after manual defrost replace fan. Manual defrost by putting a pot of very hot water in freezer with door closed change water foten until defrosted.
