Hey Guys, I recently picked up a dead wine fridge (16 bottle) for free but it no longer cools. The fan runs, the lights are on but the compressor doesn't run (no sound or heat from the compressor). I opened the back to find this:
When the unit is plugged in there is a green and red LED in the bottom right hand corner of the circuit board. The red light flashed at about 60 Hz while the green one flashed at about 60 cycles per minute. There is also a clicking/arching sound that matches the green led (sounds like a relay switching). The interior light also flashes at the same cycle. I tried bypassing the thermostat and nothing changed but if I unplug the thermostat from the circuit board I get a weird hissing/whining sound. Does anybody have any ideas on what might be wrong? Thanks
