We have a second fridge in the garage, a Whirlpool, about 4 years old. She just crapped out, no compressor, no fan, no lights. Nothing. Outlet is good and no breakers popped. Not sure how long it was down before discovered but I'm guessing not too long.

I pulled the cardboard backing off to see if there was a reset button but no go. Harness is very simple and all connections seem good. No signs of burns or shorts.

Compressor felt pretty warm but she gets ventilation and there is no undue buildup of dust, etc. in the bottom. Could just be from sitting in a garage in S. Florida in the summertime.

Any ideas what's wrong and what's it gonna run me to fix?

Thanks.

You might have a poor connection in the start device, I would order a new one. Put the right model # in a get it from this site.

Hey, thanks. I believe that's what it was. After pulling off the start device and capacitor from the compressor and putting it back together it's been running fine. Too cold, in fact, and I had to turn down the cold setting.

I think the bulb just burned out at the same time by coincidence. Thanks for the help.
