I am looking at an LG refrigerator model LMXS28626S/00. Its not cooling in the fridge or freezer. I feel like LG's are known to have compressor problems. I took off the back cover and discovered the compressor was cool to the touch, but was in fact on... Which was a little confusing to me.
I shut the unit down and removed the overload and start relay and did an ohm test on the compressor contacts. I got continuity between 1 set, but nothing on the other two, indicating that the compressor is bad.
I have run into this a lot of LG's. Is the compressor in fact bad? I thought it was weird it was on, but not really doing anything when I took cover off. I know that LG's use a linear compressor, should it have continuity between all 3 contacts?
Thanks
