Hi, I am looking for a bit more information on troubleshooting GE Profile cooling issue (it is a PFS22MBSBWW model - french door, bottom freezer white on white), less than 5 years old. So the issue is that the fridge keeps clicking evey minute or so, fan is not working at all - that would probably indicate faulty control board and overload relay failure - both relativelly easy to replace, but how can I make sure that the compressor is still good? I had tech testing for shorts and non have shown but when fridge is plugged in it runs very hot and compressor never starts? Is it possible that this is still overload control issue and that compressor is OK?

Did the "tech" try and jump start the compressor? Testing for shorts won't tell you much, especially if there are no shorts. You say its clicking and the fan is not working at all, which fan are you referring? The one near the compressor? Furthermore, since you didnt describe what refrigerator and freezer temperature problems you were experiencing, I can only assume nothing was cold anywhere. However, since the compressor was very hot, and not starting, eliminates the control board being at fault, as it is energizing the compressor circuit. Additionally, since your "tech", and I do use the term loosely, but since he either didn't know how to jump start the compressor, or doesn't have the equipment to do so, you will either have to get a better refrigerator repairman to test the compressor, or bite the bullet, buy both the compressor relay and overload, and hope those were the problem and not the compressor itself.
