Title: Ideal 55 Compressor getting HOT Post by: ciawarrior on February 04, 2014, 10:24:26 pm Walked into the garage and smelled something burning, ideal 55 is running, I could smell it coming from the compressor and it's really hot, items are still inside cold, and the copper cool lines are no longer frozen, but watery ( insulated tube)
any advice please? Title: Re: Ideal 55 Compressor getting HOT Post by: MoonDawg on February 05, 2014, 08:41:22 am Is the fan motor working?

Title: Re: Ideal 55 Compressor getting HOT Post by: johnieG on February 05, 2014, 09:48:46 pm It's probably just the fan motor, or damaged wiring, most of the sliders I've worked on have all had some degree of dry-rotted wiring, I'd order a replacement harness along with getting a new condenser fan motor, both are fairly easy to replace on an Ideal.
