The background to this is in the closed thread http://www.refrigeration-engineer.co...highlight=ePTC

In 2014 our Bosch fridge-freezer with a Danfoss NLX8.8KK compressor and a ePTC 103N0050 with run capacitor failed. The same problem occured again some days ago. I took out the ePTC and measured its resistance. It was open circuit, but should be 25 ohms. I put it back on the compressor. As with the previous incident I turned off the fridge-freezer and left it overnight. The following day I switched it on, and after a some delay it started normally and has been holding temperature normally ever since.

Can a Danfoss NLX8.8KK compressor start and run normally with a defunct ePTC?
