I responded yesterday that the PTC does not rattle. What's seems to be the problem then, what is/are the part(s) to replace? Any more test?

Those small ptc devices sometimes will not rattle even though they are blown. Get a meter to test it, or order a new one.

I measured the resistance of the PTC device (number 811 on diagram, Fridge model PDS22SISDRSS from GE) I unplugged the connector of the PTC, it has 4 small pins, I tried different one and got these measurements: 18.6 KΩ, 17.2 MΩ, 1.7 KΩ and 20.4 KΩ. At the compressor I unconnected the connector from the power cord and measured: 3.4 Ω. I am not understanding what you mean by: check its resistance "across" the compressor terminals. Please let me know.

We have been now without a fridge for more than 10 days. I followed your instruction accurately. As today I still do not know which part to replace and purchase. Thank you for your prompt respond in this matter.
