    Re: counter fridge not defrosting

    The ice is at the top so it is the compressor. On checking on the rear there is a slight flakiness or discharge from the two compressor connections, ie the joints are going.
    Off to the shops.
    Cheap or expensive?
    Got a building project so there will be a utility room in the next six months instead of just under counter space.

    First sign of madness is talking to yourself…
    I solved the fault. I had replaced three resistors yesterday but I checked the continuity of them today and the one with the worst contact at one end had blown the track away from the resistor hole at the other end where the resistor lead is soldered in, so there was no contact. I cut two new holes in the PCB with a Swiss army knife, Stanley blade and a large needle and them soldered the resistor in place. Reconnected and the panel lights come on. Bingo.
