Freezer displays F07 and the compressor does not start or stops shortly after starting.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer. The compressor area may be hot; allow it to cool before touching.

Access the compressor compartment:

• Remove the rear lower service panel to expose the compressor and electrical box.
• Locate the start relay/PTC and overload protector attached to the compressor terminals.

Inspection and testing:

• Check for burnt smell or discoloration on the relay/PTC housing.
• Gently remove the relay and overload from the compressor pins.
• Shake the PTC relay; if it rattles or pieces fall out, it is likely failed.
• Test continuity of the overload protector with a multimeter; it should be closed (low resistance) at room temperature.

Repair:

• Replace a faulty start relay/PTC and/or overload protector with the correct Indesit-specified kit for your compressor model.
• Ensure the new components are firmly seated on the compressor terminals and that the wiring connectors are tight.
• Reinstall the cover and restore power to test operation.

Note: If the compressor still fails to start and draws high current, the compressor itself may be mechanically seized and will require a professional sealed-system repair.
