How To Fix a Refrigerator - Appliance Repair Guide - ACME HOW TO.com Bad readings can tell you that the compressor is bad. Good winding readings do not mean the compressor is good as it may have other problems so there is always a bit of a gamble when replacing start devices.

I am not familiar with this. Will manual start bypass PTC and check compressor function by directly applying power to the three terminals on the compressor. Power permanently on run coils and momentarily on start coils. Thanks for your help, it's invaluable.

A PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) is a solid state device instead of relay contacts to disconnect the start winding it uses the variable resistor to the start winding. As the resistor heats up it's resistance increases and this lowers the current to the start winding.

The one I took off the AS43U6 compressor has an ID# QP2-4.7G. Can you be any help in finding a new one? I will contact Appliancepartspros.com

If AppliancePartsPros cannot help you try Gooling "starter QP2-4.7G". If nothing comes up try "QP247G starter" or just the number.
