COMPRESSOR
Refer to page 4-21 for the procedure for ac-
cessing the compressor.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the overload relay and motor start
capacitor from the compressor terminals.
3.
Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
4. To test the compressor, touch the ohm-
meter test leads to the indicated compres-
sor
pins. The meter should indicate as fol-
lows:
a)
Run (R) to common (C) = 3.3 Ω.
b) Start (S) to common (C) = 4.3 Ω.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

5. To test the motor start capacitor, set
the ohmmeter to the 10K scale. Touch
the ohmmeter test leads to the capaci-
tor
terminals. The meter should indicate
several ohms, and then gradually return
to infinity.
