I have a small fridge that was left behind by the previous occupants of my house which worked for many years before it suddenly stopped. I would like to make it work again but I do not know anything about fridges, or what the usual problems with them are. The inside light also does not work on the fridge, so that made me think it is something to do with the power supply, rather than simply the compressor failing. The bulb is fine, and the plug’s fuse is intact. The specific refrigeration unit in the fridge is this one:
I have seen at the back that all the power runs into the refrigeration unit before going anywhere else (such as to the interior bulb). The cost of a new refrigeration unit is about as much as, or more than, a fridge. However, I was hoping that a single electrical component might have gone wrong and might be relatively easily replaced. Is that idea worth pursuing, or am I onto a loser?
