Product review (5 stars): Quick and cheap way to repair your fridge when it stops working and you think its the compressor.
OMG -- wish I had known about this BEFORE buying a new fridge.  I was able to quickly repair my old fridge in well under 5 minutes with this and its been working perfectly ever since.  The repair guy said buy a new fridge.  Horrible advice.  I just used an Ohm Meter on the compressor pins (pull off the old, likely defective start piece) and make sure your compressor isn't blown.  (youtube videos show various readings, but it was clear mine was fine).  Then this kit is super easy and the instructions very good.  The hardest part is getting the grill off the back of the fridge and back on ... and cleaning off the nasty stuff from around the compressor to do this replacement.
