Samsung Refrigerator Stopped Cooling months after New Compressor Was Installed

I have a Samsung Refrigerator that had a new compressor installed. It cooled for a while and then stopped cooling again. I can hear the compressor running. I suspect the compressor was incorrectly installed or the solder joints were poorly welded. I could see corrosion around the copper near the compressor.

Freezer/refrigerator stopped cooling ...fans working compressor does not go on...

the first thing i would try is a new compressor relay. once the new relay is installed you will either hear it start, or just a hum and a click. if it dont start then time for a compressor job

part number for relay is 5304468029
goto http://lartoday.com/order_parts.htm to buy it and have it quickly

(Frigidair refrigerator R134a system) 3 months after a new compressor was installed it stopped cooling, it leaked. I found and repaired the leak. Then bought some automotive R134a it had dye,conditioner,...

The stop leak probably stopped up your cap tube system and the filter drier.You can try by replacing the filter drier, vacuum the system to 500 microns and recharge.The automotive 134a is the same as any other 134a.
