update.


The coils still have frost build up and the machine gets to 27 degrees F and still wont shut off.  I think the clicks on is broken because it has a hole in it from touching the metal frame of the compressor

I'd try a new thermostat.  Sounds like it's running until until the safety shut-off trips.... then eventually cools down and starts over.

where can I buy a new thermostat from? I have a few cooling systems I keep for parts, could I use one of one of those?  Also how do I go about changing the thermostat?  Also with the clicks on having a hole in the metal ring is that ok?

Thanks

I used a t-stat from another uss-8-64 cavalier. The machine is cooling now so I dont know if its going to work.   I also replaced the click on because it was damaged. Do I need the exact click on or will one of the same size and profile do the job?


I also may need help with the wiring. Everything is working fine now but I think I may have reconnected it wrong. I did take photos before unhooking all the wires but I just have that feeling.
