Hi Rene! Thank you for choosing ExpertHelp.com. May I know if you encounter a recent power outage?

I see. Can you check the display. make sure it is not in demo mode. Do you see on the display OF F?

What is the tempreature displaying?

The recommended optimal settings is 37 degrees and the freezer is 0 degrees. You mentioned that the compressor is not running or do not have power right?

I see. Since the control board and run capacitor has already replace. What I can suggest you is to have the Start Relay check. The start relay is a small device mounted to the side of the compressor. It provides power to the run winding along with the start winding for a split second at start-up to help get the compressor started. If the start relay is defective the compressor may run intermittently or not at all and the refrigerator will not get cold enough.

I see. Have that check. Since the fan is working and anyting that I will suggest you to replace you already replace it. :)

I see. Well, the only thing that needs to be check now is the compressor. But can you double check I think it is the Thermistor is that is connected to the Control Board. The Start Relay is normally mounted on the Compressor. If the Start relay is still good then I have to say that you need to have the compressor check.

Is there anything else I can assist you with?
