Answer

Hello RH Factor. Tey these test and see what you find. Connect power to the refrigerator and allow it to enter the “cooling” mode. While the refrigerator is in the cooling mode, the inverter and main control board voltages should be Red/White & Red Wires 3 To 6 Volts DC, Black & White Wires 120 Volts AC. Main Control Board P7-3 (Red) & P7-8 (Red/White) 3 To 6 Volts DC. Set the voltmeter to read the voltages. If it checks good, Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power. Disconnect the wire connector going to the compressor. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale. Touch the meter leads to any two pins. The meter should indicate approximately 9 to 10 O. Check between each set of pins to test all three windings. Set the ohmmeter to the highest scale. Touch one meter lead to the cabinet ground and the other lead to each of the three compressor terminals. The meter should indicate an open circuit (infinite). If it fails these test, the compressor 8201675 is bad. Hope this helps.
