Well it definitely sounds like it is low on its charge, but the only way to tell is to put a set of gauges on the system & check the pressure

Actually the old push-to-start 4-wire (manual lamp startrr) type switch is a double function switch with a common push button, again, typically the switch has two sets of wires with different colors, black is usually the “on/off” section, while the alternate color (usually blue or red) is the momentary normally open switch, you can use the black pair as a regular old on/off switch while not hooking up the alternate pair (there is no voltage on that pair if it’s left open/unconnected anyway) so now your old 4-wire switch is just an on/off button... hope this helps

One thing to mention is that the ballast FunTronics sells only works when replacing it with the 2 lead switch. The original Leviton 382 (4 Wire Switch) will NOT work with a new ballast.

K in compressor serial should be October and unless I am wrong it’s a 56 year . Look at Grand America Juke Box website and they have sections about these machines.

Definitely an old one , I used to have one but when I moved 25 years ago I left it still working on my outside deck. I got it out of an old telephone switchboard building during plumbing remodel in the 70s . Wish I had brought it with me .

So after all these years my water cooler has developed an issue. Everything is working, the water comes out cold at 39 to 43 or so degrees, but the little fridge compartment won't get below 60 degrees. Also, I don't think the compressor is ever going off or cycling. It's been this way for a long while so I would think if it was leaking Freon the water would get warm also.
Any thoughts for me? I called Global but they are out of business. Thanks |
