Does anyone know where I might find a wiring diagram for the compressor motor on my Gullwing? The motor is a Westinghouse 1/4 hp. 1725 RPM 60 cyc. 110V 3.8 amp.
The power cord and the wiring from the thermostat to the motor are both melted and have broken away from the motor connections.
Also, can anyone provide some insight on overhauling the actual compressor unit (cleaning, lubrication, common parts that should be replaced during a rebuild)?
Thanks,
Bryan

OK can you back the camera up and give me a angled side shot, and is there a start cap on the side of the motor?

Not sure what you mean by start cap. The start button is on the thermostat unit. Here's a better photo.  |

Working on memory here...so bear with me I'm attaching a generic drawing of a mechanical compressor layout, please note that not all of the components may be present on all systems. (I've only seen the gut's of a gullwing once, and don't recall if there's a evaporator assembly & fan in the soda cabinet, or if like an Ideal slider, the evap. coils are part of the side wall of the cabinet) hope this help you in sorting out you wiring, you might have to call Eric at Global Compressors and ask if he's worked on one of these puppy's, any one in the peanut gallery worked on one lately?

Bryan,
Can you see a model number anywhere on the Westinghouse unit?
Secondly, in the photo, I can see three terminals, two are bright and clean meaning they where in use. The third may not have been used and looks to be like a ground, is this correct?
I have old Westinghouse frigeration material that I could post but I want to get the closest version of refrigeration unit to ensure proper wiring!
Lastly, is this picture of the compressor? If so, have you cut the freon lines to remove the unit...?
Johnie, excellent diagram!

Jim,
Here is the info on the belt driven compressor unit:
Refridgerator Unit Part No. 64346
Model A1 4FH
1/2# freon charge
and the info on the electric motor:
Westinghouse 1/4 hp
1725 RPM 60 cyc.
110V 3.8 amp
40 deg. C, hours (Continuous)
Serial# FK Style 956628A Open
"Secondly, in the photo, I can see three terminals, two are bright and clean meaning they where in use. The third may not have been used and looks to be like a ground, is this correct?"
There were some connectors with wire remnants attached to all 3 terminals, but the power cord and thermostat/start unit weren't connected.
"Lastly, is this picture of the compressor? If so, have you cut the freon lines to remove the unit...?"
The photo is of the motor/fan only. The compressor freon lines haven't been cut, the cold line was connected to the cooler with a compression fitting.

Bryan,
Unfortunately, I don't have any info on this type of refrigeration system...
Looking more indepth at JohnieG's diagram and it seems to be accurate.
Essentially, the thermostat is controlling the electic motor that runs the compressor and condensor fan. The evaporator fan should run al the time. The only confusing part may be whether or not you have a start relay... Do you know if the unit has one? It will look like a little box with three or possibly four terminals on it.
