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
