Hi, I am back to working on the refrigerator after being sidetracked. Using the paperwork you sent me I performed some tests and here is what I came up with: ( Procedure B) Compressor resistance I show about 2.4 to 2.5 ohms. On power supply output (procedure C) I get about 26 volts but it pulses. On evaporator thermister resistance (procedure D) I get about 2.6, but the temp in the room is in the 70s. The refrigerator does cool but constantly short cycles. When I first turn it on it runs for at least 30 seconds or more before it begins to short cycle about every 3 or 4 seconds. If I shut it off with the temp controller it will again run for a little while about 30 seconds before again short cycling. Any thoughts?

Sorry for the delay in the follow up, got it working thanks to km1125. it was a faulty power supply and I got a used one from him. it is working good now.
