Hi All,




Stormin' was correct. It was the relay. Details will


follow when I get some office time.




Many thanks to everyone who helped me on this one!

Nice to hear that I did some good, some where in

the world. You're kind to mention it.



Yes, good job in getting him going. Hopefully it will last another 10 years
now.


And in 10 years, hopefully, I will remember what I did!

New refrigerators are such ****e these days too. Only
expected to last 5 to 7 years. Cost of ownership is
though the roof. It is better/cheaper to fix a long
lived older unit than to waste your money on a new one
every 5 to 7 years.

This review rips new refrigerators:

"Let's just go ahead and state it. There are NO
long-life refrigerators anymore. In ANY brand. There
are only fridges in certain models that may work all
right with minor issues over their lifetime (5-7 years,
perhaps somewhat more if you're lucky), and the
others - with near-constant repairs. There will
always be exceptions with mass-produced appliances,
and no one is going be able to provide you with
statistical samplings based on an entire appliance
field, but in general, this is the state of affairs
today.
