I did get the fridge working and saved all my food, thanks to newman. All you guys talking bad about him is not cool. He is a great guy and knows exactly what he is talking about.
Let's knock off all the trash talk. The only ones on the phone were myself and newman. He warned me of the fire risk and got it going again. Major praise to him.
Kudos to you both! THIS quote should have been posted as the solution instead of Newmann's reply, even though he was trying to inform everyone that you got your fridge working again.
IMHO, the issue was not with Newmann or the OP but rather posting the "Fix" without any caveats. I'm sure Newmann and the OP had conversations relative to the fix and possible consequences. Remember though, this is a public forum and to post that the 'fix' was to bypass the safety switch might lead someone else, less educated as to the dangers of doing so, to simply bypass it with possible disastrous consequences. Not everyone comes on here posting their problem. Some simply use the search feature and 'try' different things.
Anytime it's suggested to bypass a safety switch of any sort should be prefaced with an explanation of the consequences of doing so....Dennis
