If its been a while since you plugged it in it will run about 2 seconds if you unplug it right away and plug it back in it will run about a split second its almost like it runs just long enough until it runs into a problem.

Only 115 volts will test for burnt windings. Something is interupting voltage to the compressor and condensing fan motor. Most probable problem is the control (Part number: AP4433141 ) located behind the door panel. I fixed one of these before and found a intermittent pin on the plug, Just unplug it and plug it in, might fix it.
