Sanyo wine cooler fridge quit working

Relay switch
My outdoor mini fridge, the compressor wasnt kicking on
$12 at amazon
Easy fix
Id try that first
There aint much electronics to them

No clicking noises

Thanks for the replies- much appreciated.
My fridge is 19 years old and I can’t find any parts.

Am I out of luck due to the age or is there a way to find the parts?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Or am I out of luck because Sanyo is not a popular brand?
I called Ideal appliance parts in Metairie and they don’t carry Sanyo parts.

pretty much

the way they build them, stuff changes so fast, parts for things more than 10 yrs old dont always fit right

maybe you can directly source a part if it has a part number printed on it

but at 19 yrs old, i doubt you can find any parts that arent super generic stuff that hasnt changed in all that time.

you need to have someone with a little electrical experience use a test meter on it, and see if its the compressor, or the thermostat, or something else. it could just be a bad wire somewhere

Google model number, find part numbers for suspected bad parts, search by part number.

Might be compressor capacitor.

Thanks for the advice from the O-T, I was able to get it working. The compressor is running and it is cooling.
I replaced the 2 modules that connect to the compressor and the thermostat switch. I found these universal parts online. I didn't know exactly what parts were bad so I replaced all 3. My cost was only $26.
