Sounds like it list freon. once the freon loss gets to a certsin threshold, this kind of behavior takes place.

The refrigerator in my boat is not feeling well.

The compressor and fan run for about 3 seconds, and then it shuts down.
Every minute or so it tries to restart with the same 3 second run and shut
off.

This is a Nova Kool RFU8000DC running on 12 volts DC.

I checked on the web, this little fridge costs almost 2,000 bucks!  Ouch.

Anybody have a clue why it does this?
