Pump working. Mother board replaced a month ago. Was working fine, but stopped making ice, so then I noticed compressor shutting on and off. No freon leak. Could it be start relay or overload switch? Or something else. I need it to work for Superbowl Sunday:)

Every place I contact in town they need to order part. Do I have to rely on bags of ice for superbowl sunday? What's a girl to do? :(

If so, these are very reliable. If the lights dim when the compressor trys to start, you have a shorted/ burned out compressor.
