| Don't have a manual. Anyone worked on these? Compressor is kicking on and off rather frequently.

| Is the fridge warming up, too? If so, may have a bad relay. Pull if off the side of the compressor and shake. If it rattles, it's toast.

Define "rather frequently".
Does the compressor actually run for any length of time ?

| Yes the compressor runs for about 30-45 seconds then cuts off. It seems to me it could be cause by the temp thermostat. But the two lights on in the front and the alarm going off would tell me what is happening. I just don't have the manual to see how this thing is wired.

Is the compressor HOT (overheating) ?
How long before it starts again ?

| Compressor is Hot. Cycles about every 30-45 seconds on and off. I am leaning towards the overload protector and or the Temp Thermostat

Is the condenser fan running (by the compressor) when the compressor runs ?
And is it running when the compressor shuts OFF ?

| Unit does not have a condenser fan. Condensor is mounted on the back of the unit

Sorry, I saw "fan" listed on the wiring diagram and thought it was the condenser fan.
Then I looked at the parts list and you're right.

OK, does the evaporator fan run after the compressor shuts off ?
That would tell you that the compressor overload was kicking out.
Does the Relay rattle when removed and shaken ?

I'm thinking you have a compressor that's drawing excessive current and causing the resulting overheating. Use your clamp-on ampmeter and get a current draw on the compressor as it's running during one of the 30second intervals. Compare with the nameplate rating. Tell us whatcha find.
