I believe my icemaker failed leaving it run for a while (bad thermostat?)
The upper part of the freezer was wet and warm, and the compressor is not running. I power cycled the refrig, and it is still not starting up…but taking about .3 amp of power at 125VAC.
This unit has an ADC in it, but I know the “test” feature does not work on the replacement ADC which is in it.
What should I be going after?

I have attached a video to show how to put this unit into diagnostic mode. It shows where your tech sheet should be located so you can perform tests on different components. IF this service mode is what you were referring to as not working on your unit then that would be a faulty control board at least in the aspect of not being able to enter diagnostic mode. Your compressor when running should draw about 1.0 amps if working properly and not low on charge. I would check to see if you getting 120 volts to the compressor. IF you are getting 120 v to the compressor you have faulty start components or a faulty compressor. IF the compressor is getting 120 v and drawing only .3 amps you have a faulty compressor or you are low on charge (Freon). IF you have questions just let me know.
