other than "its waeco throw it out" , does anyone have a constructive idea what may be going on ... here's the scenario and video
-- Only occurs if fridge has been off for quite a while and powered on.
-- It runs for a minute or two normally after being powered on, then suddenly hear the RPM of internals ramp up before the compressor kicks out, and a smaller fan sound spins up.
-- After a minute or two, it will re-engage the compressor, and once again kick out.
-- Seems to do this for quite a while.
-- last few times its happened the issue eventually goes away.
-- Once the issue is passed, the fridge runs for weeks and months without incident... at great temps, even throwing a bunch of warm cans in she will happily chug along and bring it all down to temp.
-- Voltage is not a problem (trust me, it aint volt drop).
-- it's ONLY when she's been off for a while (ie weeks).
-- Does not do it on AC power (again, trust me it's not a DC supply problem)
It's almost like air in the system or something else upsetting the compressor?
Here's a youtube video (have to turn the volume up sorry), excuse the leg hair was just recorded on iphone. :

Normal until the 7 second mark, then she ramps up RPM, drops the compressor, and runs some other fan (and cooling stops).
