Amyway, that fridge would definitely "clunk" when it shut off! Not
always, but often enough to get your attentiong.


Compressor is suspended by springs inside allowing the guts to clunk
against the inside of the sealed container if the high side valve
doesn't close causing the compressor to turn backwards then stop
suddenly.


Hmm, that makes sense. Might explainj a "kickback" that creates a second
clunk, too. Sometimes I love these little asides!

Cheers,
