The refrigerator isn't producing any cold air. When the unit is plugged in I can hear the evaporator fan running and see the condenser fan running. When I touch the condenser I don't feel and vibration. I tested the start relay, the overload and the compressor. Both the relay and overload have continuity. The compressor shows 1.3 ohms for all three prong combinations (Right to Left, Right to Top, Left to Top). Is this a bad compressor? Thanks.

C-S start windings should be 3-11 ohms, look here:

FIXED - GDSL3KCYCLLS GE Refrigerator - Compressor is hot and it is running for less than a minute

GE GDSL3KCYCLLS. No refrigerator or freezer cooling. Compressor is hot and it is running for less than a minute. Is the winding is burned? Resistance of the windings is about 9 ohm.

So its a bad compressor, correct,
