Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Compressor Overload Protector by Lg

Hello DH, this part is a high-temperature thermostat, it should show continuity at room temp using a multimeter. It only protects the compressor in case of high operating temps. The compressor in your model is a variable speed type controlled/powered by the main control board. If the compressor is not running, this would require a service technician to check further and likely it is a sealed system problem or a failed compressor.
