Product review (1 stars): like measuring continuity between the 3 proms
This is so frustrating. There are many post on line regarding how to diagnose a broken start relay, they all say "if it rattles when you shake it, it is most likely bad". So my KitchenAid stops working, and I found its the compressor would not start, the start relay clicks and clicks. When I took the start relay out, it does rattle when I shake it. I though I found the problem. I bought a new one, but it also rattles, I installed on the compressor, the problem is still there. I checked the compressor, like measuring continuity between the 3 proms, and measure short between each prom and the paint-scratched compressor body, the compressor is good. I called a few other appliance parts store, they all say their brnd new part of the same part number also rattles. So this "rattling sound" is really a big issue now, can all these people on line be wrong altogether? Or the new parts of the same part number circulating on the market are mostly defective?
