Beware of friends bearing broken devices.

The compressor tried but won't start.

Are you getting a clicking sound (i.e. overcurrent shutoff) or a
grinding sound (loss of lube)? Did this happen just after he moved
the fridge (broke loose the crud at the bottom of the compressor)?

I suggested he check continuity on the run and start windings, the
starting relay, and the starting cap. Ooops, it has none!
