Hi.

"Compressor wont start". Is any of the fan motors running?

If there is only lights on, check cold control, it's located in fresh food section top left.

First tap on it with screwdriver's butt. Kicks on - replace it.
Still not working, take it out and with one wire off check for continuity between two contacts.

Open - replace the cold control, closed - replace the ADC (defrost control) located next to the cold control.

The cold control Part number: AP4012576
Part number: AP4012576


The ADC Part number: AP4014734
Part number: AP4014734


There is only one thermostat/cold control in compressor circuit.

Good luck. Post the results.

Simon.
