This refrigerator has a thermoelectric cooler, no compressor. Anything that goes wrong is probably electronic. A circuit diagram would really be helpful.

I have successfully had mine fixed. I don't know if it will last but we'll see. The capacitor was blown(you can tell this because the top is buldged out) and a part(not sure what it was called) that has an aluminum heatsink attached to it in the middle of the board. I had someone solder the new parts on and away it went. I customized the cover on the back with a bigger fan to keep it cooler. The original design was pretty insufficient. I was unable to post a picture so if you want one email me at [email protected].

It sounds like a bad fan. That would make the compressor click on and off which would make the light flicker. If your condensor fan isnt running try replacing it.

Honeywell minifridge not cooling, blinking, funny sounds

there is a 1000 Uf electrolytic capacitor on the power supply unit that was bought from a bad supplier. It's suffered a failure as they ALL did. Replacing it with a new 1000 Uf capacitor 16 volts or higher will fix it. Just remember they are polarity sensitive. i found mine at the dump and fixed it in less then 1 hour. The top of it will be bulging out and it could even leak

Honeywell 88031 is not cooling. Fuse may be blown.

opj38 -
Thanks, I used your hint/tip.!!!
I have a Honeywell 88031, it was flickering the light, buzzing intermittently and not cooling.
I took the back cover off and looked at the capacitor you mentioned. (Right by the Heatsink)
It was bulged and buckled outwards. Marked 1000uF 16V
I looked around in the junk parts I have laying around and found a 1000uF 10V Capacitor. I put it in and now it works normal and cools.
I suppose I should get one rated for 16 or 25 V, but for now I am going to see if it will stay running or ?
Good Luck to others with this problem.

Honeywell fridge model 88031. Power cycles when plugged in. Light flickers and fans stutter but do not start. Appears to not be geting enough power. Suspect control board (or a resistor/capacitor) has...

Here we go folks, the problem is a failed capacitor on the circuit board.
It is called C10 which is printed on the circuit board, it is located on the left side of the silver heat sink and above the doughnut shaped coil, you should replace it with the same or one catagory higher in voltage.(1000 mircofarad 16 Volt)
You should have some soldering experience to replace and please pay attention to the polarity. (Pos and Neg.)
