I’m pretty sure that the 180V 100uF cap is the problem as the safety overload breaker clicks on the compressor,
The cap reads Bad all day on my cap testers LC77 and “Z” meter, have you guys seen this usually being the problem or do those compressors go bad a lot? I did not have one to swap it out, the thermistor looked fine no arcing at all.
Model Number
LG Refrigerator # LFX21960ST
We have seen this a few times and ended up using a capacitor from Grainger part # 6FLP2 100mfd 370 volt cap, I could not find the original locally or otherwise, But I installed it and the compressor started up and had great amprege.
