Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. The compressor should have its own system to regulate the temperature, not depend on some master control unit that also commands every other function of the fridge. Because if that master control unit gets so stuffed with functionality that a bug in one thing breaks everything else, you get hundreds of dollars of spoilage, yeah. For some families that's the difference between eating and not eating for days (or much longer).

I think what's happened here is the inverter does not have its own setting at all, it's controlled by a central computer, which in this case failed.
