Magic Chef MCWC52B not running very long

Clean the filter in the back. It clogs with dust and stops cooling.

I have practiced this tactic for years and it has never failed. Call Magic Chef and ask to speak to a management member that is in charge of repair issues. Explain to them the issue. Tell them that you don't want a repair tech any more, you would like them to ship you a comparable unit and replace the one that you have. They can come out with the new unit and take back the broken unit and repair it in their shop, trial and error and instruct their techs as how to repair these in the future. If they won't do that, ask to speak to their supervisor and keep going up the food chain. They will cooperate, trust me. Let us know how that works for you. Be frustrated and firm.

Turn it off and place a small electric fan by compressor to cool it down.
When you turn it back on, see if you hear a clicking noise. This would indicate starting components need checking.

Compressor may be bad. You can try replacing starting device that plugs into side of compressor

the extension cord must be # 12 wire size for better and the gorund should not be removed . ( proper polirty is important . ) do replace the start relay and if you have a ohm meter ck it for open or short to ground before installing the relay . ( good power is best ..or a short compressor life is for sure .. mm

I would try replaceing the overload/relay first . The piece that plugs onto the compressor . Without model number , cant give you the part number .

My Name is Mike. I have the same unit. The compressor is not bad. Replace the start relay& overload on compressor.

Your motor is overheating and the sensor is switching it off you need to take it for a sevice

the burners on my magic chef stove work but the flame is not as high as it should be on one burner. I switched the top of the burner with another and it did not solve the problem.
