Smell of sulfur
Don't feel air moving in the Refer side.
Cool Air moving on the Freezer side.
Evap pad dry.
Compressor "Click" acts like it wants to run but stops after few seconds.
---Check the terminals on the Compressor, I do not get 0 Ohms with any combination or to ground.

If you get any continuity from any compressor pins to ground, you have a burned out compressor. If not, you have a bad start relay, just pry off the side of the compressor and replace.
