Ladies and Gentlemen;

Does anyone know if there's a safe way to jumper/ jump-start the compressor from the Control Board?  I'm pretty sure mine is bad - have a new one on the way.  Trying to keep the fridge cool until the new part arrives. . .

Not easily, the compressor is only one of the thing you would need to power up. The condenser fan is wired in parallel so that would be no problen, The 2 hard items would be opening the damper and powering the 12 volt dc evaporator fan motor.  Ice chests or spare refrig after that friends, family or neighbors.

From the control board? No idea.

However you should easily be able to test  it with a line cord and a start device. It's just a small single speed compressor.

You can't leave it running like that because the evaporator and condenser fans will shut off when the refrigerator is cold enough and running without either may  damage the compressor
