Answer

Hello Randy, You need to check the compressor to see if it is warm and running. If it is not running and is warm then you want to pull the relay off the side of the compressor. Shake the relay and see if it rattles. If it has a rattling sound then the relay WP67002527 needs to be replaced. If it does not rattle then reinstall and do an amp draw on the compressor. You should draw 7 to 8 amps at start. If you are getting above 8.5 amp draw then you have a bad compressor W10160407. You also want to check to make sure that the compressor is getting power. Go from the overload to the relay to make sure you are getting 120vac. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
