Customer Question

My side by side is off this weekend waiting for Monday repair. How can I eliminate the odor while Im waiting. Also, the unit is a Maytag subject to recall for the compressor start relay. If they find that the compressor is bad, can it be blamed on the relay, and would they replace that under the recall. Im an industrial electronics tech and I checked the amps when the compressor starts at 15 amps. Hums 5 seconds then cuts off. What do you think. Thanks, Jack

Sounds like just the relay, 15 amps is normal for the start windngs. Leave the doors open with some baking soda to air it out. Maybe spray the interior with bleach solution or Tilex and then wipe and rinse.
