Title: Ideal 55 cooling unit Post by: coke_and_stuff on March 31, 2007, 10:06:44 pm Ive been bench testing the pepsi Ideal 55 the cooling unit seems to work awesome and gets and stays cold. My question is the compressor doesnt shut down like other machines, It doesnt get very hot and stays warm. Is it supposed to cycle or does it stay on in Ideals?

Creighton Title: Ideal 55 cooling unit Post by: MoonDawg on April 01, 2007, 10:43:07 am By bench testing, do you mean you have the compressor and coils removed from the machine and sitting up on the bench?

Machine cools down awesome, cooling unit is back into the machine. I had it running for over 12 hrs machine did awesome, Its just the compressor never shut down. It didnt get hot just warm to the touch.

Found a local guy that used to maintain these systems in a past life. I'm picking it up today. he says it now cools again and cycles on and off. He found that my system had a leak and was undercharged. When I get it home, I'll confirm that it is cycling.
