easiest way to tell a bad compressor is to get a clamp meter on the compressor wires (one at a time) and,with the compressor running check the amps. anything over 1.8 amps is a bad compressor. replacing a compressor is a job for a certified technician. it is illlegal for anyone other than an epa certified tech to work on the sealed system.
I hope its the starter,flip. thats a quick and easy repair( the kind technicians love)(grin) in out and on our way.
