Will this power supply work for my device?

Will this power supply work for my device? URGENT!

I have a Mini-fridge I need to get usable again. Recently, as of a few minutes ago, I opened up its power adapter to find that capacitors have burst and that would be the reason of the fridges death a few months ago.
Given the mini-fridge is literally a foot or so tall.. keep that in mind. these are the original specs of the adapter

Original:
INPUT: 120V AC 60hz 1.2A
OUTPUT: 12V DC 5000 mA Max

Now, i have the new adapter that I spliced with the old connection (I'm sure this will work, done things before, end is pretty simple, trust me)

INPUT: 100-250V AC 50/60Hz, 0.5A
OUTPUT: 12v 2A
5V 2ASo all and all, will this work?

Oh, might I add, the adapter currently works on the fridge..But, Is it safe? Does it all sound accurate?

What's the electric power consumption listed on the fridge?

 

[Haseo34]

The fridge is small, and more or less has no information on it all all.

 

[Dickfore]

Could you at least provide the manufacturer and/or model so we can look up specs online?

If it blew a 5A supply I doubt a 2A supply will last long. Even if it does not draw 2A during operation there could be start up surges much higher.

I would not recommend using the 2A supply.

Haha, I would most definitely love to post up the manufacturer. But It is so offbrand or something odd, that I can't even give that. I got this from a friend about a year ago, and it finally died a month ago..

Then, this:

You could put a 2 amp fuse in line to make sure you don't blow up the new power supply and possibly cause a fire.
If that blows, the power supply was in danger.

24 watts doesn't sound like enough to run any kind of refrigerator.

I was looking on ebay recently and mini fridges aren't that pricey. A replacement PSU may well be a substantial fraction of the cost of a whole new setup.
And cold beer / coke is verrry important.
