Question about the compressor test tip I heard at the parts counter in Boise
I was picking up a start relay at a parts counter in Boise last Tuesday and an old repair guy next to me said he always ohm-checks the compressor windings before he swaps any relay, saves him from eating the cost of a part twice. That stuck with me because I've been guilty of just swapping the relay and hoping. I tried it on my next call, a 12-year-old fridge, and sure enough the windings were way off and I almost sold the customer a relay he didn't need. How many of you run a full ohm check every time, or do you only do it when the first swap doesn't stick?

12 years old and the windings were already shot? That fridge was on borrowed time anyway lol. Good thing you checked before charging him for a relay.
