Title: Uss-8-64 Post by: on May 17, 2006, 10:27:10 pm Hello, Well I have plugged in my new machine but it is not getting cold the dial is turned all the way to coldest, you can feel air blowing around but it is not cool, also when I turn the dial to off everything does shut off. Any ideas?? Is there something I need to do, who will repair? Any help is much appreciated.

Plug the machine in and see if it starts to get cold, if it does order a thermostat from one of the site's sponsors. DO NOT LET THE MACHINE RUN FOR AN EXTENDED TIME LIKE THIS! You compressor will never shut off and will keep producing cold air!

My machine does just that.. I figured it was probably low on R-12 from a leak or something and that's why it didn't cool.. I read somewhere tho that low R12 would actually make things freeze up, not get warmer ?? |
