After the lightining happed by a week the worning sound come up and I reset it 8 times in A week while the refregerator working fine , cooling and freezing then at a sudden it stops. compressor very hot
condencer fan is runing compressor try to run, it runs for a second then over load then stops after a while it keep repeating I disconnect it and wonder could it be a capacitor, relay or the compressor while I read I found out the compressor is protected is that true?
so I dont have it runing to measure the running current help please what to do?

Just replace the overload and relay inside the compressor cover, AP3083556

I got this reply from differnt place could u pls till me how do u see it :
[When a compressor won't start and “clicks,” this indicates it (the compressor) is locked up and cannot start so it clicks off on an overload thermal (temperature) protector. If the compressor only runs for a short time then clicks off it is likely drawing too much amperage, overheating and cutting off on the overload protector. Nothing other than replacement can be done with a compressor that is locked up or drawing too much amperage as it is a problem with the internal components of the compressor.]
so is it the overload or the compressor!!!

Worth a try with a new start relay. I does seem like either the run winding is damaged, or the compressor has internal problems like varnish buildup. Remove the start relay, if it rattles when shaken, or heat stressed, it's bad.
