Given modern minimalistic build standards, the modern compressor would probably overheat and fail if run continuously 24/7. I am reminded of the old simpsons bit where they make a tent in front of the refrigerator.

Coincidentally, that episode is also 30 years old, and right before the clip starts, the fridge has just broken. So a fridge of that era cannot run 24/7 either.

Here's the full clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioyU_sZufC8


It broke because they had the door open, causing it to run 24/7, much like the fridge in the op. I couldnt find the whole clip.
