Our church’s side by side refrigerator has stopped working. Control lights are blinking. Compressor warm but just clicks and condenser fan not running. I would like to save the church a bunch of money that could go to other better causes. I have researched and will go back there today to determine the type of compressor/ relay it has. I’m pretty certain that it is all electronic without the easy to replace relays. I will check out the cooling fan motor and will run the diagnostics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It should still have some type of start relay and overload on the compressor. Sometimes they will rattle when you shake them, showing they are fried, but this is not always the case. The overload and relay on the compressor need to be taken off and tested for continuity.
Otherwise, you may need to check the inverter box.
