Cannot get units re-charged
James_Douglas:
Well,
Just as I was going to buy all the equipment to do the Ideal 55 and my Kelvenator Fridge myself...
A friend found a guy in this part of San Francisco doing refrigeration at corner stores.
He has a nice man working for him a few days a week that is 81 years old and has been retired for years. He is tired of sitting around so he works now and then.
He walked up an smiled and said, an old pancake compressor. It took him an hour. He vacuumed the thing to 30 and it was rock solid. He had some R12 and put it in. It is cooling very good.
My factory Ranco thermostat I think is sticking and I took it apart to clean it and the contacts. Now the dame thing ---I cannot get the parts back together as it takes a jib or 6 hands!
I am going to try it again tomorrow before I break something.
On my fridge, he wants to take the R12 out, cut the lines, put in a dryer, then vacuum and put r12 back in.
Hip Hip Hurrah!
BTW, anyone have a part number for a good replacement thermostat for an idea slider?
James

it will work on a slider. but you'll have to coil it up to get it into the thermometer well/ housing tube that's attached to the inner wall from below the machine,
also don't be so lazy, we have a nice search feature here on the site, just type in your key word(s) :tounge:
