I have a Cavalier Coke box, Model # CGC-D that the compressor has quit working. I would like to repair it, but was told it would be very expensive. I am now wondering what to do with it. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Glen,

Thanks for such a warm welcome. This is the first time I have ever been on a message board, so it is all new. We are trying to download pictures, but all of the files are too big so we are getting out the manual to see how to make a change.

I had a man come out and check out the cooler today and he said the compressor was bad. He tried to hard start it and it wouldn't do that either. He run an antique auction house in our area, so I think he is reputable. He told me he had been working on appliances for 89 years. Maybe that's the problem! Anyway, he cross-referenced what the old compressor number with the new compressor number and told me that a new compressor would be $1100.

I have all kinds of model and serial numbers from the outside of the box and inside. It is a double chest type with the lift up doors on top. It looks like the Cl-10 model on this website but I couldn't find that number anywhere on the box.

I would love to get this fixed but am at a loss at to what to do next. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. We will continue to try and get those pix uploaded and sent.

Thanks again!
Nancy

welcome to the board

$1100 seems too high, contact Eric at global compressors he can help you

Yes, Eric from Global Compressors is the way to go (his banner ad is at the bottom of the page).  When you talk to him, he will determine the best route to go.  He may suggest just replacing the unit, or he may have you send the old unit to him for a rebuild.  He rebuilt the cooling unit in my Cavalier upright last year.
