If the compressor starts, it runs smoothly for a few hours till the
fridge is cold. Problem is getting it to start. When I knock the
compressor with my hands, I dunno if its jiggling the wires or doing
something inside.

Its got a 1,5,10,Lifetime warrantee, which I presume means the
compressor is 5 years. It was made in 12/2000, so I'll call them
tomorrow and ask them to fix it. Updates soon, and thanks!
