Find your model number - AppliancePartsPros.com Is the compressor vibrating? Is there a condenser/compressor fan? If there is, is the fan on? Below is a link to how to check compressor windings. How To Fix a Refrigerator - Appliance Repair Guide - ACME HOW TO.com Note that this is not a definitive test. It will tell you if a compressor is bad but does not tell you that the compressor is good as it may have winding to winding shorts or mechanical problems. Same goes for a capacitor as they may only fail when actual working voltage (120 volts) is applied to them. If the start device seems OK mechanically then the only good way to check for a problem is to give a new one a try.

This will be an expensive repair and often it makes more sense to put the dollars towards a new unit. I would check your warranty as sometimes the sealed system has a longer warranty that just one year. I am assuming that the evaporator fan in the freezer is running. It should be on whenever the compressor is on.
