Re: Fridge compressor capacitors
Well, The fridge works great with the new Supco unit installed, seems to start a little smoother too.
When adjusting the compressor mounting bolts (one had worked loose), I noticed on top of the compressor is a round disc, feels almost like hardboard material.
Its fixed to the compressor by a fixing in the middle, and can be rotated as its a bit loose. Does anyone know what this is?? Modern compressors don't seem to have them.
When I got the fridge there was a bit of old foam wedged here between this disc and the top of the housing, I presume to quieten it down a bit, as its evident a lot of the noise comes from this disc rattling.
I considered gluing it down or even removing it, but need to know what it might be before I consider that.
OK I found a picture of another compressor that has a similar disc on top, any ideas? Picture attached
