Default Re: Fridge compressor capacitors

If a fridge compressor is switched off, then a few seconds later is switched back on it may struggle to start, because there will still be pressure to start against from when it was running the previous time, but once it has been off for a minute of so the pressures should have equalised and starting should be OK. That compressor has always been audible, far louder than modern ones, so I wouldn't panic on that score alone
