Does the back of the fridge have a big piece of cardboard, probably with
some fiberglas? Did you put the cardboard back after cleaning?

You mention "all fans running", which should be all two of them.

Hi All,

A bit tricky refrigerator problem. Unit is 12 years old Sears (made by GE)
top freezer. Symptoms are that it starts and cools for a while, but stops
and does not restart. Compressor quite hot - can hold finger on it for 4
sec. All fans are running. Coils clean.

Sounds like overload, but why is it overloading? How hot should the
compressor case get in normal operation? Could a bad run capacitor cause
that?
