Ref does not cool freezer does not freeze. I checked the fan - ok. All coils and condenser areas are very clean. Replaced the complete ,oudle which plugs into the compressor. Checked all connections. I believe the module I got from APP's is the start relay and associated cap. ran 24 hrs, no change. Changed the freezer thermostat, no change after 24 hours.

I measured the Ohms on the 3 pins on compressor. I''l call them Top Center (TC); Bottom Left (BL); and Bottom Right (BR) as you look at them straight on.

TC - BL = 5 ohms
TC - BR = 3.5 ohms
BL - BR = 7 ohms

Would this show the compressor motor to be in limits or ok?
I just ordered the Defrost Timer thinking if it was stuck in defrost mode, it would not cool the freezer nor Ref. ?? I'll have this in 3 days.

If this does not fix it, is it time to have a on-site Tech come and check the Freon and coils for a leak? Or is there something else I can do? I'm thinking there is nothing left in the elect circuit? No boards, and I checked all connectors (good). Or is it time to toss this thing?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi.

Check the evaporator frost pattern. Does it covered completely or only in one corner?
Does the both fans runs?
Does the compressor runs? You should fill hot to the touch and vibration.

Post the results.
