Whirlpool GB22DKXGW00 stopped working while connected to a 1200 Watt power inverter during a recent power outage. It clicked load enough for me to hear it in the next room which caught my attention. I checked the inverter's power output and noticed that it had jumped from 400 Watts to 900 Watts so I unplugged the fridge. This caused the power output to drop back down to about 300. The inverter was also driving a freezer at the time, which had no problems. We now have power back but plugging in the fridge produces nothing but silence. The light still works so I know it's not an outlet issue. Fan's not moving, no humming, just silence.

Locate the defrost timer (#38 on the diagram) and slowly turn its shaft CW until it clicks. Post the results.

That does it! Thank you so much for the help. I had just started pricing out a new one when it turns out all I really needed to do was know what knob to turn. I greatly appreciate it.

You are welcome. Make sure the timer stops the compressor and starts the defrost cycle every 6 hours.
