[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]    I've been trying to repair Side-by-Side 26 cu. ft. Frigidaire refrigeratormodel number FRS266ZDSB4 and yesterday I installed a 3 in 1 Start (SupcoRCO210 for 1/2 HP compressor) and this is what I did:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]     I placed the ammeter on the white wire (Start compressor terminal) and thenI plugged the unit in, the amperage on the white wire read 8.10A and thecompressor worked for about 2 seconds and shut off leaving only at .10 A withthe fan on. After a few minutes I tried again the same procedure and this timethe compressor did not run at all and the ammeter showed .12 A and only the fancame on. What could be happening? I checked the compressor terminals and thewindings appear to be in good shape: Common 9.6ohm, Start 5.9ohm, and Run 4.1ohm so Ibelieve the compressor could not be the problem, but I think that there might be an electricissue that is hindering the compressor from working normally? Please advise.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

	You should NEVER use a 3 n 1 hard start device, they will eventually blow out the compressor. Also, I have never seen a modern R134A compressor with a 1/2 hp rating, so you installed the wrong start device. If your windings are now open, you blew them out. If they show resistance, like 3 to 5 ohms, unfortunately, the only way you can verify the compressor is good is to install the proper start device, AP3837323
