Refrigerator - Compressor runs for just a few seconds then clicks off

Hi, Since last week, my Hotpoint refrigerator (from 1982) has a problem. When the compressor starts, it runs for a few secondes (between 0 and 10 secondes) and then goes off. It does that between 1 and 10 times before it's able to run. When it fails to start, it does a short, strange noise, something like *TAAAK* - There is no extension cord, so the voltage should be O.K. - The condensor coils are clean. - The freezer fan is working properly. - There is no condenser fan. - The compressor is hot, but not VERY hot. Anyone has an idea? Thanks a lot, Benoit |
