Acacia C for Model Number KSSC42QTS03 Our fridge and freezer stopped working - and when it did it threw the breaker in the panel box. I reset the breaker and it worked for another few hours. Then the same thing happened, and I reset the breaker again and it worked for an hour but not it tripped the breaker a third time and it will not come back on. I check the physical condition of the casing for the inverter board and it is burnt and smells electrically burnt. could this cause the circuit breaker to trip? also is it possible the compressor is bad also? If the compressor is also bad would it trip the breaker also?
Answer Acacia, Thank you for your question. While it is a possibility that the compressor has failed along with the inverter board, the only way to determine this would be to test the compressor windings. Go across the run and the start and it should have a resistance that should match going from run to common + start to common. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, April 14, 2025
