    Hi all, I have recently acquired a currys essential freezer but it won’t freeze 🙁
    When switched on the compressor tryst to start then the overheat clicks, cools down and the cycle starts again.
    I have checked the compressor pins and the resistance across them seems fine. Would there be an internal capacitor that may have gone?

    Any suggestions on how to diagnose the fault?

    I’ve seen these American relay, start capacitor all in 1, was going to try but can’t find them for UK voltages..

    Can anyone pleeeaaasse help??

    Thanks for looking

    Regards

    Deep

    When checking the resistance the readings of the two windings individually which both use the common and they should add up to the same as when read across both windings.
    If it’s tripping out with seconds could be the start device, if it cuts out only when motor gets hot there might be a refrigerant loss causing the problem.
    The internal protection device is a over heat protector.
    Wouldn’t be worth a repair then.
