Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

Hey, all.

I've got a dorm refrigerator -- one of those little bitty cube-shaped ones I use to keep some beer in -- and it quit working today. Here's the strange part -- when I tilted it forward to look at the compressor et al it kicked on. Leveling it out caused it to stop.

I've never seen that before. These things are cheap enough that I'm probably just going to go ahead and get a new one, but it's tickled my curiosity bump. Anybody got any thoughts on what -causes- that?

Could be the start relay for the compressor.

May also be a loose connection in the wiring.
