Great article. I have a question: My Kenmore refrigerator stopped cooling. I noticed that the compressor and fan were not operating but the evap fan was. I get no power to the compressor or fan. I replaced the start capacitor and start relay with a 3 in 1 start capacitor. Still nothing. I decided to wire the new 3 in 1 and fan with a separate AC wire directly to an outlet. This allowed the fan to start and the compressor started to cool the refrigerator. But obviously I can't use the refrig that way. Would a faulty thermistor prohibit AC from reaching the compressor and fan? I'm hoping it's not the control board. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Barry
