Just stopped working. I tested the compressor lead and I got 9 ohms across the bottom two, 7 ohms across the bottom and top left and 3 ohms across the top right and bottom. I think the starting capacitor is not working anymore.

I don't see any that look like the one in the pictures below. Can I use the other ones that hook up to the same three prongs? Or are my values for the compressor bad? I think I was looking for 10, 6 and 4, but mine don't seem to be too far off. It pulls 9 amps (might have been 6- I forget) when it tries to run. It got a little cold on the top shelf, but then just quit.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Your compressor is drawing excessive current and shutting down, you have a bad compressor.
