My GE refrigerator model# GDSC0KCXARWW stopped cooling. It's a bottom freezer refrigerator.
Both evap and condenser fans run. I do not hear the compressor. Hear an occasional click sound I think coming from the sold-state relay.
I've ohm tested the 3 prongs on the compressor, one way reads 5 ohms the other 7 ohms and third way a total of them at 12 ohms. No continuity when when testing to chassis of compressor so it's not showing any shorts.
With the relay disconnected and probing at bottom common connector with negative lead of volt meter, I get 40v on the start terminal that slowly tapers down and a consistent 115v on the run terminal.
Is that normal run voltage or should it be higher? Trying to determine if the relay/overload is working properly. It does rattle when shaking but I'm not sure if that test is feasible for a sold state relay or not.
