Rick O Milwaukee , WI May 09, 2015 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RS2555SW/XAA Warm refridgerator/freezer compressor hot not running Removed lower rear cover, compressor was very hot. This is usually a capacitor issue, but the schematic on the back of the unit shows a start/ run relay. For the low cost, I replaced both. parts were delivered in 2 days. The start/ run relay is mounted directly to the compressor. It slides on/ off with a little bit of prying. No fasteners. The start capacitor is inside a white plastic housing on the lower right corner of the unit. Phillips screwdriver is all you need to complete the job. I was worried that the compressor may have been damaged (the compressor was hot for hours after being unplugged) but it works perfectly now.

The Compressor current dropped from 2.14A to 1.45A which was right where supposed to be by the datasheet.
