Noticed a burning plastic smell, and couldn't figure out the source. Within a couple of minutes, smoke was billowing out from under the fridge. I immediately pulled the plug. I have pulled the cardboard panel of the bottom rear of the fridge and don't see any melted relay or anything unusual. What could it be?
When you let the smoke out of the wires, they don't work as well afterward! Sounds like a short and what was burning was wire insulation. The main components are the compressor and the fans.
Look for misshapen wires as that will be the best indicator of what has overheated.
