WASN'T SURE WHICH SWITCH WAS BAD SO I ORDERED ALL THREE. THOUGHT MAYBE COMPRESSOR WAS BAD, BUT IT WAS THE OVERLOAD. I REMOVED PLASTIC COVER ON COMPRESSOR, UNPLUGGED WIRES AND SLID OVERLOAD OFF OF PRONGS (PINS) ATTACHED TO THE COMPRESSOR. SAME WITH THE SECOND SWITCH, BOTH ARE ATTACHED TO THE COMPRESSOR. SAVED BUYING A NEW FRIDGE FOR $1400.00. EASY , CHEAP JOB!
