How do I know if my compressor on my refrigerator is dead?
My refrigerator suddenly stop working, no cooling air flow, I check my compressor there is seem like not running, is it the compressor is dead? How do I check it?
Make certain you have power to the receptacle. Turn the refrigerator thermostat all the way to coldest then plug in the fridge. Your compressor should start. If it does not, then there are two possibilities; either the compressor motor itself has failed or the thermostat has failed. In either case it's a fairly expensive proposition. If there is a warranty, then call for service. If not, consider purchasing a new refrigerator.
