Hi Ya

No frost I'm afraid. It ran for a while and then the compressor kicked out and after 5 mins kick back in. It might be the overide doing that.
I can't see a mkae for the compressor. Although the model number is VT17. Looking in the bundle of papers Creighton gave me that is the original Compressor that came with the machine. But in the bundle it doesn't say who supplied Vendo.

The compressor now gets warm. Something it didn't do before the 3 in 1. I'm guessing it might need a re-charge. I left it running for about 45 mins, do you think that is sufficent time to allow it to frost up?? My V-39'S took about that time to get cold but they were enclosed.

The compressor was made by Tecumseh I believe (nicknamed a pancake compressor because of the shape). It is the same type used in all the VMC27 Tabletop machines and same set-up as a lot of square top 56's.

You should be able to feel the line get cold within minutes.

Hi Tom

thanks for the info. I do have it wired correctly to the 3 in 1. I'll just have to wait until the cabinet has been put back together and try again. The compressor is getting warm and it doing a lot more now than it did prior to 3 in 1. I'm keeping my fingers crossed
that it just needs a re-gas.

Dave,

Could you get it charged while it is still out?  It might be a little easier that way.  Plus, you'd be able to test it again before installation.

Hi Wayne

will have to make a few enquires. Not sure even who to contact to get it done. Will have to let my fingers do the walking with the Yellow Pages

Dave,

I'm the furthest thing from a refrigeration guy, but one question I'd have is why is it low on charge?  I realize it's an old system, but if the seals were good, shouldn't it have pressure?  I guess I'd wanna know if there is a leak somewhere.  Again, some one like Eric could answer this better.

As far as getting some one to work on it, I don't know the laws over there with working on freon-charged systems.  Over here, there are a lot of regulations.  If you can't find anyone through the Yellow Pages, you may also have luck by asking friends if they know anyone who does HVAC work and see if they want to make some $$ on the side.
