Glenn, Honestly, the only thing I did was wiring -- a few were loose so I stripped, cleaned and made better connections.
That's when the lights came on and the plate started getting cold. The temp in the chest dropped 5 degrees in a half hour -- which leads me to believe the compressor works. The control, however, has a dial that won't turn, stuck on the highest setting, 7. (Personally, I prefer my knobs go to 11 -- and extra points to anyone who gets that reference.) If it's really working again, I may just leave everything as-is instead of shelling out big bucks for a new controller for a 27 year-old fridge. In your case, to test it, look at the wiring diagram and see if you can skip the controller and apply power directly to the compressor. One manual I found talked about a jumper wire. Hope you get cool results. Good luck. All the best, Edd ----------------------------------- Edd M.

Is there a way to test to determine if the current controller is bad? My controller is a 102N3030 12V DC with a 15 amp fuse. I believe the digital control that you found on line will work in my boat, but I hate to spend $295 to find out it is not the controller but really the compressor or something else. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
