This will be a learning experience for me as well because I have never messed with compressors. Is it possible that a replacement compressor could be attached to the existing evaporator? I realize the lines would need to be vacuumed, recharged, etc, or is it necessary to replace the entire works in one procedure?

Well, Yes, of course you could have the old compressor replaced on your existing deck.  It's the best option as opposed to sticking a old used unit back into your machine, not the cheapest option granted, but the optimum choice for a reliable repair. |

Haha... Nice scrap pile! Looks like you replaced a lot of compressors! Which new model would you suggest putting in a C-55D in term of spec?! Any preference or suggestion?
When you say "all they needed was a shot of freon", are you saying that these compressors are still working and must of the time the problem was the freon? I'm asking because my compressor seems to work and the evaporator too... The condenser look rusty, so I might be loosing freon from there! Should I try changing the Freon before anything else?!

Hahaha... Sorry johnieG! Like I said, english is not my primary language and sometime i'm reading too fast.
So what would be your model suggestion for a not too expensive new condensing unit?

I just found a condensing unit and I was wondering if it would fit in my C55-D... It's a Tecumseh 1/6 Hp Condensing unit - Refrigerant R134 (AE500AT-048-P2). Here is a picture...

Generally, you would have to measure the base plate & compare it to your originals dimensions ( width x depth plus the over-all height) The compartment into which it fits is really very compact, so you may need to have the new components transplanted onto the old deck plate. 1/6 to 1/8 HP should be sufficient power provided the BTU ratings are similar.

Well said Johnie , I know what you mean I have 6 Ice machines sitting in the way in my garage and they just need a shot of freon, a switch, thermostat and like all things I am ready to throw them away because of their age . Just find the best , newest replacement compressor or deck you can find and make it last another 20 years.
