I have an upright freezer by Westinghouse that won't keep the compressor on. When I turn the temp dial to turn on cooling, I hear the compressor kick in for about 5 seconds, then a click and it shuts off. If I turn the dial back to off and then on again, nothing happens. If I keep the dial to OFF for about a minute, I hear a click, and then if I turn the dial back to a cooling number, the compressor will start again for 5 seconds or so. Is it a bad run capacitor or overload switch?
