How do I test the old capacitor to confirm it is faulty

    This component in a fridge is usually very reliable and unless there is signs of damage or burning it is unlikely to be faulty. If you have a compressor that is not running but makes a slight click when trying to start and another about 5 seconds later every 50 seconds or so, this would indicate a seized compressor and require a refrigeration systems engineer to replace and regas your appliance.
