Title: C51 Compressor Post by: schmidheiserej on April 25, 2008, 09:02:44 pm Just put freeze 12 in a C51 fridge , changed out any R-12 that was in it for the years before. Prior to the swap the compressor ran fine plugged into a GFCI outlet. Now with the Freeze 12 in it the compressor will trip the GFCI outlet, but will run fine on a regular outlet. :help:

Do a search and it'll turn up. I've had 3 different machines running on different protected outlets, and they have all worked fine. Others have trouble.

Pulled a vacuum on the system showed a small leak that was not there the day before. So I took the plunge and removed the old compressor caped the lines and pulled a vacuum again , no leak :smile: So today I will be installing a gently used compressor from a don er frig. Only thing is now I have to order more Freeze 12 since the old compressor developed an internal leak. I hope this fixes it. :hopefull:
