Hello, I have a 9 yr old fridge (Kenmore Elite model #50599000) it stopped working, the compressor kicks on for a couple seconds then shuts off, any help is appreciated.

For $16US, you will need to replace the start relay and capacitor. How handy are you?

I tried your # but it didn't work here:
Sears PartsDirect | SearsPartsDirect.com (http://foxyurl.com/7BX)

Look at following areas for the model number:

* Beneath Or Inside Food Compartment On Cabinet Frame
* On Plate Lower Front Or Rear Of Cabinet
* Beside Compressor Door On Right End
* Near Rear Of Cabinet
* Inside Liner At Top

All of Sears products have A sequence as this ~ 505.99000 three numbers ~ a dot ~ then the rest... example 596.73504201, yours is three digits short. but this will only give you the fridge.

You will also need the #'s off the parts to make sure.

p.s... don't run the fridge.
