Dave,
Going back to the beginning of this thread is like reading a short story. You star as the Protaganist. The machine, is of course, the antagonist. You wife is ever present as the foil. Your wit helps keep the story interesting. I will be happy yet sad to see this one come to a conclusion.
Good luck.

Guys,
How come noone has mentioned temperature? You can't work on a thermostat
without knowing the temperature! If we were reading the temperature of the machine, we could tell if the thermostat was cycling the compresssor. Looking at some of the pictures, Dave, you have an air probe style stat mounted to the side of the evaporator coil. If the thermostat is reading the temperature of the coil, of course the stat will cycle much more quickly! The coil will cool to about 10F in order to keep an "air temp" of about 38F. If you are reading the coil temp, at 38 degrees, the air temp will only be about 55 or so. The coil cools and warms much faster than the air temp. The air temp will maintain longer of the box is full of product. The air probe stat need to be sensing the "air" only. Also, the air style stat needs to be mounted inside the cooling compartment and not down below where the original was located. Hope this helps and sorry for not checking in sooner. Been totally covered up!

Hi Eric
glad you are here on this. The picture with the prboe clamped to the unit was one taken when I in desperation and trying everything.
I originally put the probe under the drum in the cabinet, where Steve (Funtronics ) recommended. It completed the one minute cycle. I then moved it about the cabinet to try and extend the cycle life. Still no luck. I then placed it under the Evap fan unit still no extension. Lastly I clamped it to the fan unit and still no luck.
I am fairly satisfied that I have placed that bloody thing in about as many positions I could. Steve has kindly agreed to swap them over with a clamp style. Hopefully that will produce better results.
I hope that this will sort out my resotred V-39. It was working perfectly before I started fiddling.
My new V-39, well I'm hopeful.
If you guys don't mind when I have fitted the new T-Stats I'll get back to you for more advice.
Dave.
