trouble with my engel

[warrior]

i have a 60ltr engel fridge/freezer ,had it for five years the usage would be below average for a fridge of this caliber say ten times a year,i have had a noise in the compressor since new but this was sussed out and was told didnt need attention so kept using it ,last week it blew up stuffed the compressor and the wiring got a quote to fix it $890.00. should an ICON fridge last longer than 5 years and is there any way i can fix it a bit cheaper than the quote price,any help would be greatly appreciated as we are heading off soon on a trip over to broome.cheers AL

griz,i tried my company and it was ok as long as the motor was fused first and we could prove there was a power spike in the area at the time i needed a full report from the repairer and he said that the compresser went first so no luck there ,i will try the fellow goodone said and see how i go.
