Compressor will not start on a frigidaire refridgerator
Model # glhs38eesb7, we lost power for about 5 days and when the power was restored the compressor never restarted, the unit was working fine before the power outage
The compressor gets power from compressor capacitor or compressor relay.On some models there is capacitor and on some there is relay.May be that relay or capacitor got shorted causing the problem.
But if that checks out ok,then its faulty compressor causing these.
