What's a ptc device?? Socket to socket = 27 ohms. The run cap., I can't measure, as my meter keeps "ranging" on me.

Looks like you have a bad start device. A ptc start device is a rather small, black plastic device.

Measure across the two,round, side by side output female pins on the start device, should be like 5- 10 ohms.

I ordered and received the new part using the part number you provided. The new part looks different than the existing one, the new part shows "OL" across the sockets that are side/side. The new start device shows "OL" across the same two pins. The existing run cap. shows "OL" across the blades when I ohm it out. What next??

Just install the new start device and plug into it the run capacitor and fridg connector.

I did that, and it sounded the same. Should I let it run for awhile?? Do the measurements I provided for both devices sound OK??

It's run for about 3 hrs. now, and it doesn't appear to be cooling. It sounds alittle quieter, as I found two copper lines vibrating against each other and spread them apart. There doesn't appear to be much air flow inside the freezer either. Is there a fan behind the rear inside panel??

Pull off the freezer back panel and check the frost pattern, if total, heavy frost, you have a defrost problem, if little frost, that confirms a bad compressor/refrigerant leak.
