Had a fridge compressor flash over on me in a crawlspace in Tacoma
Ngl I was knee deep in dust working on a 5 year old Samsung and the compressor just let out a bang and a puff of smoke. Scared me bad enough I started wearing safety glasses every single time I pop the back panel. Anyone else had one do that without warning?

Did you check the start relay and capacitor before the compressor let go? Those Samsungs are known to have the start relay weld itself shut.

Used to think the compressor was always the first thing to go on these, but your right about that start relay. Had a neighbor's Samsung fridge where the relay welded shut and it ran nonstop for a day before the compressor finally gave out. Would of saved him a lot of money if he caught that relay early, so your point really changed my mind on how these things fail.
