The unit has a linear compressor. I have no experience with a linear. Does it have a separate controller? or does the main control broad operate it. The compressor was receiving voltage and it was drawing current. The unit is 2 years old. Or do I need to evacuate the Freon and recharge, and look for a leak? Thanks for any help.

Hi. I have seen sealed system issues many times on these unit. They are built By LG. It sounds like your compressor is running. They usually draw around 1.0 amps. Check your frost pattern to be sure if it is a sealed system issue. If you have an uneven frost pattern or no frost pattern you either have a faulty compressor or a leak in the system. These units usually come with a 5 or 10 year sealed system warranty so I have not gotten any further into diagnosing or repairing them. You would need to tap the system and check your pressures to determine if it is a leak or faulty compressor. With it being a Kenmore it makes it difficult to look up information. I have found a service manual on a similar unit I have attached for you.
