Well boy's, its alive! I cut the hot so I was testing directly on the main cable and still did not have power. So I cut the head off of an extra christmas extension cord I had on hand, and tied that in and when I plugged it in the fan immediate started spinning. I unplugged it right away, tipped...

I agree, and if I had any such friends, that would already be the case. At this point I am just stumped as I cant seem to get power at the very first point in the path. Here are some more pictures with some explanations. The plug and cable. There is no access anywhere, just solid rubber. If...

unless if its in the plug head itself with no access, there in nothing in line.

Thank you again for the detailed testing steps. I am obviously pretty green at this and have only used a multimeter a handful of times in my life. So, this is what I am seeing First, this is the outlet I am plugging into: The plug enters the back of the appliance and splits apart. The...

Ok , I watch a few different videos and I can say for sure I get continuity when the thermostat is on, and none when it’s off, so I guess that is fine. I guess the only thing I have not checked is the compressor fan?

Oh, I thought 0 was bad. I’ll watch the video again

Ok, thanks for confirming that. The fan does not spin. Everything about the appliance behaves as though it’s not plugged in at all, but I have tested the outlet it’s plugged into and ran an extension cord to another outlet on a different breaker just to be sure. If I am testing the thermostat...

It does have a light that was working until the thing went "pop". I am going out right now to test the thermostat The overload protector seems to have been build into the original PTC which had three pins and three pin holes on the back side. I can not find anything that matches that...

First of all, thank you all very much for taking the time to respond, its appreciated. Today I got a new PTC and there was no change after putting it in. I am posting the wiring schematic below. I am no electrical engineer, so I am taking a guess here, but am I right that if the temp control...

Those PTCs seem to come up in any search I do and I almost pulled the trigger on one until I realized in a different brand same model picture that there are only 2 holes on the back side, which my PTC has three holes. I can not seem to find a PTC that is three pin front with three holes in back...

Thanks Steve! Yeah, I was tipping it back while still plugged in, which I have since learned is a bad thing to do, but I am not clear on what could have broken and how to test/verify. I understand that the oil in the compressor could mix into the refrigerant and burn out the compressor, but I...

😦😓

Hey all, I was never told you shouldn't tip a fridge on its back. Recent I was given a Marvel 61wc wine fridge and thought it would be a perfect beer fridge out in the garage. I quickly learned that even at its max, being a wine fridge, it would only cool down to ~41F. So I started to explore...
