GE Profile Fridge Model PSIC5RGXCFBV

[pminutella]

Both My Freezer and Fridge are warm in my GE Profile Model PSIC5RGXCFBV. As per the youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq1jBtjjiFY I checked the voltage at the mother board on the J15 connector and found that it was fluctuating between 10-12 VDC. I also checked the resistance between all three terminals on the compressor and they were all 7.5 ohms to each other. I replaced the mother board since the voltage was not between the specified 4-6 VDC. unfortunately the fridge is still not getting cold. I could pick up a new inverter and install it but am concerned that the the output voltage is much higher on the J15 connector that it might hurt the inverter. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

So,you need to start with the beginning.Is the compressor running?

The inverter should have 120 vac on the orange and black wires.  The voltage on J15 is the signal coming from the main board to tell the inverter how fast to run the compressor.  Next would be to unplug the refrig from the wall. Hook up a amperage clamp and plug refrig back in to the wall outlet - no current draw probably bad inverter board. 4 to 6 amps for a few seconds then current draw drop to 0 amps, believe it should do this 2 or 3 times in a few minutes. This is the inverter trying to start the compressor and it is not starting.

This is what I name a good sugestion.I think I need a little bit more experience in appliance repair
