French Door refrigerator not enough cooling.

[Manjeet]

It's a one-year-old refrigerator, it's not cooling enough, there was an error code CL E, per these codes show a leak in the evaporator coil. I set the refrigerator temperature at 42 & freezer at 5, now no error code but the compressor is shutting off & restarts after some time. There is no freezing in the freezer compartment. I open the panel over the control board LED was blinking 6 times and paused and repeat the same pattern again and again and the compressor shuts off and start again. I google and found multiple reasons the compressor is too hot, bad capacitor, bad PCB, Restriction & Bad compressor.

There is no restriction as the condenser is neat and clean, and the suction pressure is 7 psi (600A refrigerant) I think no restrictions in lines, and there is no capacitor. The compressor is taking 2.2 amps alone. Please help me to take the right troubleshooting.

Thanks.

Without the model number this information is generic. 

6 blinks - high ambient temp, condenser fan stopped, high side restricted, damage compressor.

r600a suction pressure should be 15" of vacuum.

lowside leak - with the lowside pressure at 7 psi and no cooling there are probably non-condensables in the system.
