If you recall, a month or so ago I posted about a refrigerator not
working.

The compressor unit in it would keep trying to start and would be
unable to start, tripping an overload relay.

After some "time off" to let the system cool, the fridge started just
fine. I also replaced a capacitor and relay (which was very cheap and
possibly not needed) and thought that I was done.

However, since yesterday it started having trouble again. Letting it
cool down for a couple of hours would get it started, only to find it
unable to restart a few hours later.

What could be the culprit here? Unlike last time, there is no
emergency, as we have less food and all our food easily fits in
another fridge.

The refrigerator is a Kenmore made by Amana with fancy electronic
front control.

My life experience (62 years so far) is that when refrigerators start acting
up, unless it's a fix that costs less than $50, it is cheaper to dump it and
get another. In today's market, nice fridges are cheap.

WTF do YOU shop ? The ****ing things cost what a CAR used to
cost. New.


Yet there is almost always a free on on Freecycle or Craigslist.
