This is similar to the previous topic "GE refrigerator PFS22SISBSS 2006 Compressor testing" I got some good info from that topic.
I have a GE PFS22SISBSS refrigerator. The compressor is not coming on but I hear clicking. I did some testing: J2 on motherboard, 3-8 13.5VDC, 3-4 13.5 VDC, 3-5 13.5 VDC (may be high, expecting 12 VDC). I checked compressor leads, top two 14 Ohms, bottom and top left 5.5 Ohms, bottom and top right 8 Ohms (seem good). The capacitor reads infinity Ohms (OL) and does not really read a capacitance; it reads 3 pF, rated for 12 microF, nothing looks bad on it, no bulges, etc.
I called called GE customer service, they are sending me a new motherboard since it is covered under the recall. They offered to cap installation cost at $100 BUT there are no GE techs (GE employees) in this area. So they said they would pay $100 to a GE certified tech for the install but I would have to pay the balance should it be over $100. Anyway, in the mean time, since the mother board appears to be ok (13.55 VDC is higher than the 12VDC but I don't think that would cause issue, not sure), I figured I would press forward with other troubleshooting/repairs so that I can get this back on line ASAP.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!
