[QUOTE="revjames, post: 444385, member: 5256"] I have an american type fridge freezer, tall and with a water and ice dispenser etc. Had it 12 years with little issue. Model is whirlpool 858617215010 It was making a beeping sound earlier so I switched it onto standby and back and the beeping stopped. However noticed stuff was thawing out inside. Just pulled it out and the compressor isnt running. Any ideas? any common issues with these? 5 years ago the main board was fried by a transient voltage caused by the DNO but never had any bother otherwise. Clutching at straws really but all help gratefully received A BIT LATER Theres a 3 core coming from the mains input/ compressor area. The mains goes to the compressor then this 3 core goes to the control box. Brown, Black and Blue. I guessed the black to be the return switched control to the compressor so pulled the multiplug off the board and shorted brown to blck with a piece of cable (unplugged at this point) Plugged back in and compressor is running. SO something on the control panel stopping it running. But what? I'm guessing a relay? [/QUOTE]
