I found that the compressor should ohm between 9-11 ohms between any two post
I am getting 7.1 ohms between any of the two post .
Is this enough of a difference to warrant replacing the compressor or should I look a some other locations for the problem ?
I have replaced the mother board and one thermistors (only had one in town and that one was definatly bad will replace the other 3 if compressor is good enough)
Current temps freezer 12° set at 0° f fresh 47° set at 37° f
Thank You

Did you clean the condenser coils?

Does the condenser fan work properly?

Run the test as described in the attached file.

Gene Thank You for the diagnostic test .
The only thing that failed was 04 communication check between dispenser control and main control .
Everything is dispensing fine.
Freezer went down to 0 for a little while as well as the fresh food is at 30 (physical thermometer) digital reads 46 this has happened several time but never stays this low always goes back to mid 40s.

The condenser coils are clean. The condenser fan does seem to be working I can hear it running.

Hi Michael,

Sounds like there is an intermittent problem with the condenser fan motor (more likely) or the compressor (less likely).

It is impossible to check the condenser fan motor instrumentally in such situation. If you will decide to take a chance, I would recommend to replace the main control board at the same time.

In order to test the compressor, the pressure in the sealed system has to be measured and it has to be done at the time of the failure presents by a certified tech.

- The condenser fan motor Part number: AP4265957
Part number: AP4265957



- The main control board Part number: AP3957581
Part number: AP3957581
