I think I meant the evaporator after a little more investigation. The compressor and fan runs fine, but after an hour it was actually warmer inside the machine than cooler. So something's off somewhere, I'll have to go out there and dig around a little see what I can see.
I'm basically vending stupid, so I'm learning as I go along.
Thanks!

So something's off somewhere... There are two fans - one by the compressor (condenser fan) and one inside the cabinet (evaporator fan). The evap fan should run continuously (24/7) circulating air through the evaporator coils. The condenser fan only runs when the compressor is running. |

When I get back in the garage tomorrow, I'll check all that out. Thanks again for the help guys. Eventually I'll get a handle on this thing.

So, after jumping the thermostat and unearthing the evaporator fan, I found that there was a huge ball of lint, probably an old mouse nest, stuck under the blade of the fan. Removed it and it cooled the machine just fine. Thanks guys!
Now I need to find a thermostat for this machine. Veii didn't have one, said they don't sell parts for Westinghouse machines. I didn't think thermostats were machine specific? Anyone with any ideas on this?
Thanks again! I'm finally getting to re-wire the machine properly now.

Got a pic of your T-stat? Why won't one of the contact type T-stats that a sponsor sells work for you?

I have no idea why a different one wouldn't work for me. I've asked around and all the retailers say "Nope, don't have it, try these guys". Then I'm told, we don't know how to cross reference it to something newer or by a different manufacturer.  I'll try to get a photo of it later and post it here. |

I got busy with work, so I haven't had a chance to get that tstat photographed yet. I hope to this weekend.
It's just a simple dial thermostat, labeled 0 - 9, with a 27 inch lead off the back. One terminal labeled cut in, one labeled cut out. Seems there would be something that should work in place of the actual original piece.

Right now, I have an issue with the cooling system. It comes on, runs about 5 minutes or so, then cuts off for about 30, and kicks back on for 5.

I'm guessing your thermostat is working just fine, a stuck fanblade will surely cause the cooling problems you described.
