[QUOTE="Marvo, post: 444495, member: 20838"] The power to the compressor is supplied via a current operated start relay that connects power the start and run windings simultaneously for a very shot period then disconnects the start winding. With a few of the older models and especially with newer generation (isopropane) fridges the compressor relay, capacitor (if there is one) and the klixon are located remote from the compressor so, depending where power is artificially applied, you could bypass the compressor controls and it can result in rapid and catestrophic overheating of the windings. Is your fridge giving any indication of errors or compressor run or defrost condition on the display if it has one? You say the fan is working okay, is that the internal fan or the external one by the compressor? [/QUOTE]
