    appreciate the response. interesting, I usually go for quality that’s built to last. but unfortunately certain products aren’t built that way as im sure your all well aware. if only the the more expensive models came with a longer guarantee I wouldn’t hesitate. I will have a look what is available for them and probably purchase a reasonable extended cover if cheap enough .
    stay safe guys

    sorry I meant just a freezer on its own. national shortage. she does have a fridge otherwise I wouldn’t have been messing about. I did manage to find a few single freezers in stock today. but compared to the price a 50/50 split looks far more economical. any good brands of fridges in terms of compressor reliability vs buying 5 cheap budget models over the same time. or is it about the same and we just need newer technology

    cheers for that I did look at replacement model and that has a compressor with a capacitor. so I think your bang on the money. will still try and source a overload as only a few quid just to see. and at the same time im checking freezers daily , theres none in the uk ha ha

    thanks for the response, I did presume what you said as the audible click was the overload kicking in. I was wondering if it could become weaker and kick in too soon. but im pretty certain your correct. would rather spend a couple of pounds when there is a freezer shortage at present though just to confirm. if you look at the circuit diagram in the picture it does say there is a capacitor, but looking around my compressor there is no evidence of one. any ideas?
