Steve,
You did follow the instruction sheet that came with the new ADC control board, didn't you ?
It looks like Rich, could be right, and we'll need to run a voltage check at the condenser fan and the compressor,and maybe the new ADC board.
You're going to need a multi meter, to check for voltage(s).
The wiring diagram, I have for your refrigerator, indicates that the red wire at the the condenser fan motor and the compressor overload relay, are the 120 VAC power supply from the new ADC board.
You should remove the overload relay cover off the side of the compressor, while the fridge power cord is unplugged.
You'll need to do 2 checks on each component, these will be voltage tests, so be carefull.
Leave all the wires connected, and make sure the refrigerator control is set so the fridge is in a cooling mode.
From the red wire on the condenser fan motor, to chassis ground(bare metal of the frame) you should read 120 VAC, then check the white wire to chassis ground for the same.
You'll do the same voltage check at the compressor, the red wire on the overload is power in (120 VAC) to chassis ground. The white wire to the chassis ground, should be the power out, through the motor windings and PTC relay, If you have low or no voltage at the components, that would indicate a broken or loose connection, or "bad" new ADC board. We may have to go up to the new board and check that for voltages there.
No 120 VAC on the white wire at the compressor, would indicate a bad PTC relay or an open winding in the compressor motor, That will be the next test,
Let us know what you find, and we can move on from there.
