The voltage of 120 volts is more common that the lower voltage of 12 volts.
Yes a 208 voltage motor will operate on 220 volts. You have to increase the motor overload protection by 10% of the motor's full load amperage to protect the motor.
no
Replace the resister, if that doesn't work replace the blower motor.
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
No, the RPMs of the motor will be wrong and the compressor will be damaged.
Sorry, won't work. You need a 110 volt supply.
The old school freezer trick will not work but for a small time to restore dying or dead batteries. It is best to replace the batteries.
No because the pump motor will run too fast and the lifetime of the fridge will be severely reduced.
Yes. It will work OK but run about 20% faster than the name plate indicates.
No. The motor was designed to run on a specific voltage and any variance from it will not work. The amperage of the motor is what you should be looking at. A single 1.5 volt battery neither has the voltage nor the capacity to produce any thing close to the amperage you would need to run the 12 volt motor.
what may be causing my freezer to work but my refrigerator not to work
Freezers have a motor. This motor is used to bring cold air to low temperatures. Then it can freeze food or whatever when placed in it. A freezer is great because it can save your food and will preserve it.
