DAE have a fridge compressor fail on them mid heatwave last July?

I was in Phoenix fixing a neighbor's unit when the compressor seized up at 115 degrees, leaving me scrambling to swap it out before their frozen goods spoiled, has anyone else dealt with that kind of ambient temp killing a run capacitor?

Lol I had a compressor die right when the temps hit 112 in Vegas last year, talk about bad timing. Jumped on a neighbor's unit at 9pm with a headlamp on because their freezer was dripping all over the kitchen floor. Managed to swap the start capacitor and get it running again, but I was sweating like a sinner in church the whole time.

Sweating like a sinner in church" is hilarious but I would have just called a pro.
