Lior,

I thought you said the breaker at the 220 panel popped when the compressor tried to start. This would not be indicative of the thermostat. Perhaps you have more than one issue going one.

With best regards,

I tried to replace the capacitor but it did not help.
I am almost sure it is the thermostat. when the temp. was set to 18 degree (minimum) the compressor did not start. As I wormed the sensor with my fingers the compressor started. I could start the compressor each time i wormed it. As I left it, after a minute or so, the compressor stopped. The cooling part is also sweating a little bit (because of the coldness). Is it normal?
Could anyone advice me where I could order this thermostat? Do I have to order it with the switches and temp regulator?

Thanks a lot for your help
Lior
