You probably will need to put a valve on that compressor unless
it has a port already. Then you hook up your guages and check the
pressure. Do you know if the compressor is running or not?

A refrigerator compressor is the center of the refrigeration

up. The compressor also draws vapor away from the evaporator to
maintain a lower pressure and lower temperature before sending it
to the condenser.
