GE Side by Side No power to compressor

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

I am working a GE fridge that does not cool. The compressor checks out ok but does not run. Where can I find a schematic? What should I check next?

Are the fans inside the freezer and next to the compressor working?

Here are the breakdown diagrams and http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5100159

yep, everything works but no power to the compressor. I metered the compressor and it checks out ok. Thanks for the diagrams.

Sorry for the delay.

Check for 120 VAC at the connector J7-9 to the terminal J8 on the main control board. If the voltage is incorrect, replace the main control board.

I looked at the back of the board and found a bad connection on the main relay. I soldered and it works fine.

Thanks

You are welcome. I’m glad it was such easy fix.
