Refrigerator Question

(1/4) > >>

Helped one of my friends move this past weekend and got an old refrigerator out of the deal.  Last night I cleaned it all out and plugged it in.  It took about a minute but it finally kicked on.  I left it run for about two hours and then decided to move it into its new resting place.  It is in the garage so it rolled fine and I actually only had to move it five feet.  So I shut it off and then unplugged it and rolled it over to the new spot.  Plugged it back in and turned it on.  Nothing.  So I shut it back off and unplugged it and left it over night.  Plugged it back in this morning and nothing again.  Any ideas what could have happen between it working and now not working?  I tested the outlet and it works, my only other thought is that its a bad power cord.  The refrigerator is pretty old.  Any ideas?

Well in my experience a well placed kick or two usually fixes things.  ;D

Hildy_42:
I thought about that too, except I was going to kick it down the hill into the retention pond.  ;D

Thanks Havok.  Looks like it is all leading to a bad outlet or cord.  Maybe at lunch I will run home and move it back to the spot where it worked last night and see what happens.
