I'm having issues getting my Bull Mini Fridge to cool. It was not working when we bought the house, but we never really needed to use it. I have been trying to figure out why it doesn't cool. The lights come on when the door opens, but the wiring in the back is kind of a mess.
I'm guessing a rat got into it, there are some frayed and severed wires, mostly the green ground wire. I tried reconnecting them all as I thought the ground loop would work, but still no cooling. I hear something turn on when i plug it in and the temp selector is at 6, but just never gets cold.
Is this thing doomed? or could it be something I am missing? Anything else I can check?
I'll take a picture of the wiring when I get home

The only moving part in a mini fridge is the compressor. If you plug the uint in and hear something come on, that is the compressor. If the compressor is running, the wiring is probably ok.
If the compressor runs for a while and the fridge never cools, then you most likely need a professional to check out the sealed refrigeration components. Normally this isn't worth the cost on a mini-fridge but outdoor units are much more expensive so it's probably worth a repair call to check it out.
