It spins freely by hand. But when plugged in, yes musical chord.  Is there a capacitor or something I can replace?

Some earlier versions of the water circulation motor had three-wires & one went to a run capacitor down next to the compressor area, these were a permanent "split-phase" type motors, yours doesn't sound like it is (or was) since your re-soldered it with only two electrical leads/wires, sounds like the prior post has a solution for you provided you can adapt your impeller to the shaft, Funtronics or Sodajerkwerks may have a replacement impeller that would work.

If you had an ohm meter you'd be able to measure the resistance across the wiring leads & see if it's an open winding.

Mine did had the three wires.  I replace the wires exactly how I found them originally so I don't screw anything up.

basically you cant verify the motors windings are good without an ohm-meter or some sort continuity tester.

So my machine is finally working!  Thank you for all the help!   drinking


Now, I have had it plugged in for an hour or so and the water isn't getting colder....think the freon finally went away. Anyone know how to fill it?

Thanks
