Wish my Whirlpool fridge could be that simple. Compressor slams/shutters/chatters at shutoff; noise level is progressive, but has been doing this for over a year, so dunno how much life it actually has left in it. Tech says new comp costs almost as much as a new, similar box, which it looks like I'll be shopping for next. :(
You could look in the usamfg.net catalog I posted for someone else earlier, last I checked they had a bunch of unused surplus fridge compressors in the $25-$75 range, so long as you find one that's very close to the same BTU rating and the correct refrigerant (should be R-134a) then you can make it work. If you feel like doing it yourself you could even use one of the $5 rotaries to suck a vacuum and then make an adapter to charge it with R134 sold for automotive A/C systems. You have to be careful messing with that stuff but I've enjoyed playing with it so far. You're not supposed to vent the R134 to the atmosphere but it's perfectly legal to blow dust out of your computer with one of those little cans of it so I wouldn't worry too much about a small amount of it, it's a non-ozone depleting HFC.
