I found that the condenser/compressor cooling fan was not operating, although he compressor was running. I unplugged the unit and turned the fan blade by hand till it spun freely, then plugged it back in. The fan spun up and ejected a small, dried up mouse which managed to get wedged between the blades and the fan shroud, binding the fan motor. My first thought was that I finally discovered a "better mousetrap", but potentially at a high price. Afterwards, while waiting to see if the fridge would cool down properly, I revisited here to check the next step, in case the problem isn't completely rectified. I was amazed to see the tips about vermin here and now am convinced that the Samurai Folks have experienced it all!
