Wine cooler not cooling and compressor never starts; display may be lit.

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing the compressor. Capacitors and live terminals can be hazardous.

Steps:

• Access rear compartment: Remove the lower rear panel to expose the compressor and electrical components.
• Inspect wiring: Check that all wires are firmly connected to the compressor start device and overload.
• Check start relay: Remove the relay from the compressor. If it rattles when shaken or shows burn marks, it is likely defective.
• Test overload: Use a multimeter to check continuity through the overload protector. Replace if open.
• Install new start kit: Fit a Frigidaire-approved start relay/overload assembly for your model. Ensure it is fully seated on the compressor pins.
• Reassemble and test: Restore power and listen for the compressor to start. Monitor cooling performance over several hours.

Note: If the compressor still fails to start or trips repeatedly, the compressor may be locked and require professional replacement.
