Kenmore 106.51103.10 still clicking

[73Charlie]

Hello everyone. My Kenmore refrigerator began to make clicking noises three weeks ago after a power outage.  I have replaced the relay twice with new ones. Replaced the cold control because it was going bad. Replaced the defrost board.  Refrigerator is still clicking every 3-4 minutes, lights inside dim. 

The model number is 106.51103.10. It is only four years old. Capacitor checks OK.  The readings that I am getting from the compressor are from the two bottom prongs: (8.5)  from the common to the other prongs. (3.0) and (5.7). What should I do next? Is the compressor a goner? Thank you.

Model number is wrong is this the part number you put in Part number: W10189190    From what your saying the compressor is bad.

Yes that is the part that I replaced.  Are the compressor readings off?

Corrected model number 10651103110. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this model? Thanks again.

Think of a compressor as a motor which it is    the compressor has seized up.  You change the relay which was a good thing and got the same problem.  That is the final test. New refrigerator time.

I assume the machine is not cooling.  You might try a 3 n'1 hard start kit.  Sometimes that will get them going again it might work for a month, or a year but the kit is only about $15 so it might be worth a shot.
