 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 !!!!!!!:yikes:
