We received a service call from Massillon for an Admiral refrigerator that worked fine at the old house but stopped getting cold after the move. The customer reported placing water in the freezer and it would not freeze.
The Problem
The refrigerator worked fine at the old house, then the customer moved and now it doesn’t get cold. Water placed in the freezer does not freeze.
Diagnosis
The start relay had failed. This component is responsible for helping the compressor motor start up properly.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 5304491941 — starter kit
- Work performed: Replaced the failed start relay
- Result: After replacing it, the refrigerator was operating correctly
The refrigerator still wasn’t working several days later. I refunded the price of the repair and part.
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral refrigerators are generally budget-friendly units. If this model is over 10-12 years old, you may want to consider replacement rather than investing in major repairs. However, for newer units or simple component failures, refrigerator repair can still be cost-effective.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean to prevent compressor overwork and relay failure
- Check door seals regularly — poor seals force the compressor to work harder
- Avoid overloading the refrigerator, which can strain the cooling system
