Ran into an issue where my bar fridge stopped. It's a nice zero clearance fridge but is really a Made in China no name fridge. It's probably sold in lots of places. The fridge would not run. After doing my due diligence on the net and You-Tube I found these fridges break down because the starter relay and / or the high temp cutoff fails. Also the condenser fan is cheap computer fan you'd find at the back of your desktop computer.
Fortunately the first two items are 5 bucks each on Amazon and the fan is 10 bucks.
The symptom of the fan failing is a harmonic vibration of the entire fridge that can drive a guy crazy. Here are some pics. The starter relay and high temp cutoff are inside a plastic box attached to the left side of the compressor and the cheap computer fan is to the right of the compressor.
I know some will say just chuck the fridge but I don't want to go searching for another perfect fit. I find the description on the box or ad never matches up with the real dimensions. Enjoy.
