So, I got a wine cooler with a broken starter relay - it clicks when turned on, and when I removed the relay, something inside was lose.
So, I got a new relay - with nothing lose inside. I just installed it, turned the cooler on, and it started clicking again. I removed the new relay, and lo and behold, there is something lose inside of it.
So, I guess something is frying my relays. Appliance guys want $75 to just show up at my door. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Here are the schematics
This is the relay in question
EDIT: below is the one I bought - the one I had in my cooler was QP2-4.7G. Was I an idiot that just bought the wrong part? They look identical on the outisde.
I guess I might have to pay someone to do this, but I know this will be a simple part replacement.

Aside from a fault in the compressor itself, the only thing I can think would be the M and S lines swapped. The fan portion runs continuously, correct? If not, the starter relay isn’t your problem.

It sounds like it’s a power issue that’s frying the relay. I’d check the amps and Voltage coming from the power supply.

This thing worked until it stopped. From what I can tell, nothing works other than the LCD display on the front when it is turned on.
I ordered another relay, this time with exact markings. I hope that’s it.

I don’t think it’s the starter relay, otherwise the fan would still be working. Check the relay on the control board.

No idea who that is
