I swapped the evaporator fan twice and even replaced the control board on a customer's Whirlpool in Garland before my meter caught the start relay flickering under load. Total time from first call to fixed unit was 19 days because I kept trusting my ears instead of a $40 amp clamp. What is your go-to test for a compressor that runs but will not cool?
