[unfamiliar with this model]
In general, compressors use over-temperature cut outs. A compressor
that loses refrigerant loses lubrication too, and tends to seize up.

Our Norcold fAC/DC fridge, model DE-561, has power but the compressor isn't
operating at all. Two questions...

1. Does the compressor have a fail-safe that prevents operation if all the
coolant leaks out?

2. Anyone know of a good Norcold tech in Northeastern Illinois (Winthrop
Harbor/North Point Marina)?

Thanks.
