Question is...
johnieG:
Hey Eric when you got a minute... I've reinstalled the compressor assembly back into the cabinet, seem s to run fine but, I think the thermostat is flaking-out on me, whenit runs & cools down (with a full load of water bottles to test)
I'm seeing frosting on the suction line all the way back to the compressor, I'm going to replace the themostat ( seems sticky to me) any other thoughts? maybe low freon? or moisture in the lines? need some pointers.thanks
johnieG:
Hey guys! Just to update everyone, the thermostat was indeed bad! it was running way to long past the cut-off point
(too cold) also the frosting on the suction tube was caused by an OVERCHARGE of F-12 from the previous owner. had a local vending guy look at it and he said, that when the T-stat was going bad, someone thought the freon was low and overchared it, (probably didn't have a gauge set and just dumped a 12-oz can of F-12 into the machine till it seemed "cold" enough) Well a new T-stat and a recovery of the over-charged F-12, She's cooling fine! thanks for all your help, I'm off to get a COLD one! JohnieG Hope this lesson helps other people.
