Ge monogram ZISS480NRAS

[Greg48]

My ge monogram just stopped cooling. No warning or slowly warming just went from normal to like someone turned it off. Condenser fan runs constantly. The compressor is running but you can barley and I mean barley feeling it running. No warmth coming from it what so ever. All lights work inside. It seems to have power going and coming from control board. Inverter seems to have power going and coming properly. Ohms are 10 on all three pins on the compressor. I'm a little stumped here. Repairman come over and put an inverter on it and it made no difference.

If you lay your hand on the compressor, and you feel it running, but there is no cooling... the machine has "blown" its refrigerant charge. When it is abrupt, it is a leak on the "high side" of the system, the compressor will begin operating very quietly when there is no cylinder head pressure.

OUCH, hope the "repairman" didn't charge you for replacing a working inverter and failing to give you a diagnosis!

That is it, no more diagnosis?

Voltage tests?

I was leaning on buying a new one. So I payed him for what he had done. Now hearing people with fairly new ones having problems and them costing around 10 to 12 thousand to replace I would like to at least try to fix this one. It has 120 going to the inverter. Knowing that he put a new inverter and it effected it no differently I would think the control panel and inverter are good.

You need someone qualified to do sealed system work take a look at it
