Check the compressor windings for resistance, continuity and that they are not grounded.
Below is a link on how to do this.
How To Fix a Refrigerator - Appliance Repair Guide - ACME HOW TO.com

The above can tell you if a compressor is bad. It does not tell you that the compressor is a good as it may have internal mechanical problems.

If the unit has a relay type start device it is also covered is the above link.

There is not a good way to check a solid state start device so you basically have to but one and try it.
