Few would disagree about the criticality of this major appliance. And now it's dead! It popped the circuit breaker, and immediately pops it again once I reset it. The outlet is good. The google tells me that this is probably a bad compressor. I just printed off the 'how to test your compressor' pdf, but before I go roll around in mouse poop (it's in the barn) I thought I'd ask for some advice first. The beermeister (it's the actual 'beermeister' brand) is right around its 20th birthday, and has really served me well. And it's something I need to fix because I can't replace it. You see, when I bought it I was single, and, well, now I'm not. So either I fix it or do without.  Does the googlenosis sound correct about the dead compressor? If it's true, is it something I can replace myself? Is it even something I can get a part for? I'm not sure if these things are standard, or if it something particular to each fridge? Thanks all....I'm getting the shakes here !!!!!!!

Take your multi-meter and attach one lead to the 'hot' prong of the plug, touch the other to the frame. meter set on continuity, get any thing?? could be a short in the wire harness, short in any componant...... It is all a process of elimination to find the short.. Remove the start package off of the compressor, still a short ??............. do you have a wire schematic/ diagram???

While the thought of perhaps brewing your beer might be intimidating, it's not as difficult as BudMillerCoors would have you believe. Sure, it's time-consuming, but believe you me, the wait is definitely worth it. There is a small cash outlay, and you'll need part of your barn to let stuff ferment, but oh, I almost say that even your dear spouse might enjoy your culinary attempts. Or you'll luck out and find the replacement part for your beermeister. YouHurtMyBrain, who has 2 gallons of mead (one is a show mead, the other is a blueberry melomel) currently percolating under the bathroom sink, and is eagerly awaiting Halloween when she can decant them into 750 ml bottles and start enjoying them. If lucky, they might last a week. p.s., by law, an individual is permitted to brew/make up to 100 gallons of beer and/or wine per year for personal, non-commercial use, and households are permitted to brew/make up to 200 gallons per year for personal, non-commercial enjoyment. One is just not permitted to distill spirits (can't make your own rum/scotch/vodka/tequila/etc.)...
