Hi,
We had power outage after which fridge stooped working.
The fridge fan and lights are operable, but neither the fridge or freezer are cool (both are presently 76 degrees).

I unplugged the fridge but this did not reset it.
Lowering the temp on the display panel didn't work.
Resetting the ice maker didn't work.
I don't know if this model has any diagnostics via the control panel.

I have replaced the main circuit board. No fix.
I then replaced the inverter board. I thought for a moment that the compressor started to cool momentarily, but this didn't fix the problem.

I don't have the capability to replace the compressor. Is there anything I can do to identify the problem before incurring an expensive repair call? I have a multimeter

Thank you

I measured voltages and resistance today.

I have 5 VDC measured at pin 15 on the main board.

I confirmed that the inverter board is receiving this 5 VDC, as well as 118 VAC.

The compressor (VEGY 8H) measured 7.5-9 ohm on all three windings.

As a reminder the freezer and fridge stopped cooling after a power outage.

I replaced the inverter board and main board.

A few minutes after the fridge is plugged in, the compressor runs hot.

Last ditch effort to hear your suggestions on any other components before I blow a lot of money on a service call...
