I removed the Run Capacitor (part # AP3131713) and the Start DEV (part # AP3962960) but I am not sure which part needs (or both) to be replaced, or if it is my compressor. I read how to check the resistance on the compressor and my readings were 3.2 on one pin and 7.4 when attached to the pin on the other side (run winding will read 1-5 ohms resistance. Then stay on the single pin and go to the other pin. The start winding will read 3-11 ohms resistance) so it appears the ohm readings are within acceptable range for the compressor. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you,
