Title: Cav 96 Compressor running all the time Post by: Blind1968 on June 13, 2017, 03:45:38 am Hi all, I have a Cav 96 that has been running great for about 7 years but recently I noticed the compressor runs continuously. How would I check the t-stat on it? What are some other things I should check.
Thanks in advance Bryan Title: Re: Cav 96 Compressor running all the time Post by: MoonDawg on June 13, 2017, 11:00:47 am Step # 1----- Turn the dial to the "off" position to see if the contacts are still working.

In the meantime, call one of our suppliers and get a replacement thermostat ordered, you need one. Title: Re: Cav 96 Compressor running all the time Post by: Blind1968 on June 18, 2017, 08:10:19 pm Thank You for all the help MoonDawg.
Edit: New t-stat installed and she is working perfectly. :happydrinkers: |
