Rotary compressor on a Friday call in Buffalo taught me to test before I swap
Drove out on a Friday at 4pm to a fridge that wasn't cooling, swapped the start relay on a hunch, and the compressor was dead the whole time. What's your go-to check before you pull the trigger on a compressor?

Test the compressor windings with a meter before touching anything else, that's what saved me after a similar wasted trip. Check start to run, run to common, and start to common against the spec sheet, and if the numbers are way off or open, you know the compressor is gone before you pull a single part. Takes two minutes and stops you from eating the cost on a relay that was never the problem.
