Dave,
It looks good, but probably some one like johnieG could tell you for sure. You may want to send him or Moondawg a PM. I think you need to check the temperature range of the thermostat. If you wind up needing to get a new one, I can always get you one from Funtronics, although I have to pay sales tax being in the same state.

Hello Everyone.
My new thermostats arrived today from Funtronics. I have fitted the new one, its a air temp sensor type. As recommended by Steve at Funtronics.
I postioned it just under the drum again as he suggested and the unit is now running cool, not as cold as previously, which is good. However, I can't get the compressor to shut off.
I have re-postioned the sensor in the hope that it might help, but it hasn't.
Anyone out there have any suggestions plse.
The Thermostat was initally placed at 3 and I have lowered and raised it in the hope that It might help.
Cheers
DAVE

Dave, if the thermostat has a cap tube on it, try placing the end of it in a glass of water filled with ice and leave it for about five minutes. It should shut off at some point on the dial, and should be near the higher numbers. This means that this is the 32 deg. point.

Hi
I should have added that it is possible to shut the compressor off by turning the thermostat right round to 0. If I then turn it on again it waits a while and then fires up.
The Compressor has now been running for a few hours. Is that sufficent time for it to adjust.
Thanks
Dave

That is the end of the cap tube that can be put in the water.
Usually after a couple of hours with the door closed the unit should shut off.
Do you have a thermometer that you could put in the machine to see how the progress is going?

Hi Bob
I don't at the moment. However it does feel very cold in there and the machine compressor has run constantly for the last couple of hours.
I do have another V-39 and have changed the thermostat in that tonight too. That cooled right down and shut off after about 30 mins.
Thanks for your help tonight (now nearly 11pm) will shut the machine off and in the morning try the ice trick. If it shuts the compressor off then I know its just a case of moving it around. If not well then I'm stuck. I'll also swap the thermostats round but I really don't think it wil be the thermostat.
Dave

Dave,
I had the same issue with my Cavalier 51. I fiddled with the position of the bulb until I finally got it to work. It took a while, but eventually it worked. I made sure it was as close to the evap coil as possible without touching it and in the flow of air from the fan blowing across. It tries the patience, but it does work eventually.

Wayne/Bob/Everyone
Okay I have swapped the thermostats over and that has made no difference. I have swapped them back and re-positioned the sensor all around the cabinet. No luck.
I know its getting cold in there because the rigid pipe is icing over. The compressor just keeps running and running.
Could it be the 3 in 1. That is not kicking in when it should?? I can turn the compressor off completely by turning it down to 0.
It was working when I first re-fitted it. I made the mistake of trying to adjust the temprature on the old T-stat and since then no luck. It was definately running too cool the first time round.
Any help plse... A very dispondent Englishman.
Dave
