Re: Compressor problem I think?
Have you checked that the freezer coil is not icing up due to a defrost problem? This should be at back of freezer.
You could possibly have moisture in system or a blocked capilliary. Does compressor sound unusually noisy or struggling before unit shuts off.
Has any work ever been done on the system ?
If you switch it off and leave it for 24hrs does it then run OK for some time before it fails? If so how long?
I think you'll possibly have to get an engineer in to have a look at it.
