Hi - I don't know if this is the right place for this question.... But my Hotpoint larder fridge has stopped cooling. The compressor does not appear to run.
From YouTube it has been suggested that a common part that fails is the relay on compressor.
The original part is muRata brand and has 3 pins. Markings printed on the pin side are
220MD
3 'circle with M inside' 12
I cannot find any reference to this on the web - even on the muRata website :-(
I bought a similar sized one from eBay that does fit but it has not started the compressor...

Any ideas?
Many thanks
