Replacement compressor for vintage refrigerator.

[customline]

Could anyone recommend a brand or make for a new compressor for an old Hotpoint refrigerator ?

Are condolences in order?

What happened?  Were those wild readings a precursor to compressor failure?

Well it certainly isn't safe anymore. Time to replace it. Do you have any recommendations?

I think John L. is among the more qualified people here to advise on replacement options.
