seeing as how im trying to avoid schoolwork, im doing this right now. this summer, i got a broken fridge so i opened it up to see what was wrong (at least on the circuit board, the only part i could actually fix)
here some things i found out.
1. it's easy to tell if the fuse is blown.
and it's just as easy to find a replacement. just eBay that sucker or go down to the nearest hardware store. since i have no car. . . eBay it is. i can get 100 of these babies for $11. . . i need to find one that is smaller in quantity to replace ONE. just had to make sure the voltage, amperage, length and diameter were correct. also, i found out that for motors, fuses need to be slow blow, and to solder onto the circuit board, i needed pigtails on the end.
2. you can tell if that capacitor is blown if it's raised up, meaning it's exploded internally. at least that's what i remembered from a pc motherboard fixing guide. and finding that corresponding capacitor is easy too. strangely, the same 10 capacitors i bought 3 months ago for $3.50 now are $8. once again, i just had to make sure the capacitance and voltage were appropriate
3. when you solder, just cut the tails off to an appropriate length and voila. once i get my new fuse, i'll see if this will make this sucker get off the ground and make my beers nice and cold.
disclaimer:always unplug before you handle. . .
