On Wedensday the Maytag Repairman showed up for my refrigerator recall. I had built a platform almost 6" high so that the refrigerator could easliy roll out. He pulled up to my house and I told him to drive to my "other garage". He did , and as I opened the door I said - by the way it's in a bus. He said "cool". He was more than willing to do whatever to help me remove the refrigerator. Country Coach figured if the refrigerator was 36" wide than the opening should be 36" wide (so much for tolerances) so the refrigerator came out very slowly - about 1/4" at a time. I had the slide out so there was plenty of room and I had made the platform large enough so that when he got it out we could rotate the refrigerator for him to get to the back of the refrigerator. It took him about 5 minutes to replace the relay. He asked if I wanted him to help me put it back. I told him I would do it myself because for the first time I discovered all the stuff behind the refrigerator and wanted to make notes and takes pictures. The best surprise was finally finding the 12 channel Crestron Amplifier attached to the wall behind the refrigerator as well as a number of electrical junction boxes. I am not sure how this guy was paid but he drove 1 1/2 hours to get to my house and was happy to participate in the removal and re-installation of the unit. No complaints here.

relay
The relay pictured by RoadRunner is very common in many refrigerators. We have a Amana side by side in the garage and keep an extra relay on the parts self. My local appliance shop sells them to me for $20. There is a new combination of parts that has replaced this multi unit and it cost around $56 dollars, according to the local shop. The heat of the confined spaces is the biggest factor in the short life of this relay assembly.
