This should help Appliance Repair Guide: How To Fix a Refrigerator - ACME HOW TO.comNote: That if the compressor checks out OK it does not totally remove it as the cause. But if it fails then you know it is toast. Windings shorted to each other or the case are the most probable cause of tripping the breaker. The capacitor test is also like the compressor test you can use it to see if the capacitor is toast but it does not rule it out if it passes. The reason is that you are testing it using the low voltage from the meter and they can fail when operating voltages are applied to them. |
