The compressor is seized, locked rotor, or cannot start. This is a serious fault — the compressor is the heart of the refrigeration system. The compressor start relay and overload protector should be checked first — these are the most common and least expensive causes of compressor failure to start. Listen for a click and hum followed by another click (relay engaging, motor stalling, overload tripping). Replace the start relay/overload assembly first. If the compressor itself is mechanically seized, the compressor must be replaced (major repair).
