laats: I am considering that. As I stated, the salesman that I have been working with has been extremely helpful. I also realize that they work on commission, and this is one of the main reasons that I would like to buy from Lowe's if possible. The KA that was delivered was the "last one in stock." I actually have had great luck with KA. We purchased the SS Double Wall Ovens (blue interior) about 3 months ago, and I LOVE THEM. I know that some people on this board have had problems, but so far, I have not. Have run the "self cleaming" feature already too with no problems. Anyway, wish me luck. Going shopping, again..

I think there is a refrigerant leak somewhere in your AC system. When the refrigerant pressure falls below a certain value, the expansion valve/control will not energize the compressor clutch. This leak could be anywhere. Often, its a seal leak on the compressor, but since this was changed out twice, the leak must be somewhere else (assuming good connections were made for the changed parts).

Thanks Bob and Fairyprincess! I needed to get the refrigerator tonight so I came to the conclusion that the Whirlpool would work. I went on partselect.com and it looked like both the Whirlpool and my old Roper had the same parts and set-up based on the diagrams. I could be wrong but it was the only thing I really had to go on. And I know that Whirlpool also makes Roper. So I plunged and picked-up the refrigerator right before the store closed. It's set-up and plugged in so come tomorrown I'm hoping to see that it's well on it's way to being nice and cold! Thanks for your quick responses and I hope this solves my refrigerator problems!

Extremely unlikely because as the guy said... eventually the unit starts and runs fine. Voltage drop = no run. "If voltage drop occurred while unit was running... it would not stay running." No where does OP say anything about unit cutting out while after starting and running. You have to know what you are talking about to come to such conclusions. LOL. Does a car keep running if there is no gas? Can a car be hard to start, but then run fine once started? Yeah ok, common sense. While a car is a poor comparison more people understand the operation of a car than anything else I could use as an example. voltage drops tend to stay, not magically disappear and reappear. But thanks for playing.... In over 22 years of diagnosing only 1 voltage drop problem... if you have a voltage drop you will know it quite easily. (More complex problems in regards to start up? Uh no. Guess again and again and again.) More common to drop a leg from the pole... while also rare that's happened about half dozen times in 22 years of running service. Central AC Unit won't start with only 120v available, that confuses people because some things inside the house will still operate normally as long as it doesn't require the full 240v to operate. In Vegas, they give you odds... in a forum board that's also what I give. Magic 8 ball --- out.
