Chuck March 03, 2014 for Model Number MCBR360D My Magic Chef Refrig stopped cooling. The compressor was very hot. I suspect a starter capaciter. Can you tell me how to trouble short to confirm my suspessions. I cannot find this part number listed to match mine. What part number do I need? The compressor is a LG NSA30LACG

Gavin December 03, 2013 for Model Number MCBR360HB The compressor is turning on for a few seconds, then immediately turning off. The fridge does not get cold, and eventually the compressor gets hot. Would this likely be a problem with the PTC Starter or the Overload? Or is the compressor shot?

James October 16, 2013 for Model Number Magic chef MCBR1010W I ordered a PTC starter Part Number AP4565041 for MCBR1010W The starter is different than on my fridge. Almost same, but connectors are different location. White , blue brown wires. On current blue and brown on bottom, new starter shows connectors on top... How should this be installed?
1 Answer James, The blue and brown wires would still connect the same way on the upper instead of on the lower part of the relay. Connect to the same sides that they are on the original. Read More...
Charles August 03, 2013 for Model Number mcbr360hw Fridge stopped working in office. It is only 2yrs old No humming or nothing, it is getting electric. don't know if relay on compresser is bad that's what I think it is. Relay gets hot real quick but only a little spark and a click no running
1 Answer Charles, You will want to make sure that you are getting 120 vac to the PTC relay. If not then you most likely have a bad thermostat. If so then either the PTC relay is faulty or the compressor is bad. Read More...

Barbara N July 02, 2013 for Model Number MCBR-360S Magic Chef Compact Refrig. door left open and unit quit running. Will not start now. Help!
1 Answer Barbara, You will want to check to make sure that there is power getting to the compressor. If there is not 120 vac getting to the compressor then you would need a new thermostat. If there is power to the compressor and the compressor is not running then do an amp draw on the compressor and if it you have higher than 6 amps then the compressor is locked up. Also could be the PTC starter that has failed. Read More...
