BTW, everyone here can tell you, when you take pics and post them.
dont place anything on top of your machines
Or "kito will have a fit. ( a running joke that
has been on for a while). That is, once he surfaces again after the new baby.
Has anyone heard from Kito???

Went out in the garage and worked on the cooler some today. Had to make a new power cord so I could see if it worked. Plugged it in and the compressor kicked on for a split second then went off. If left plugged in it kept doing that every 15-20 seconds. Finally figured out that the compressor temperature switch is bad. Every time I tapped it with a screwdriver handle the compressor would grunt and the fan would turn a little. I bypassed the switch and it roared to life. Evaporator started to ice up but the evap fan never came on. Had to call it quits for today. Gotta find my multimeter to see if the fan is getting power tomorrow.

What has to be done to galvanized sheetmetal to get it looking good again? Is that possible or do you just replace it?

Well.....another work week has ended and its almost time to get out to the garage to work on the cooler. Thanks to Eric at Global Compressors, I have a replacement evap fan motor and an overload switch to install.  '>

Replacing/re-plating the sheet metal will get $$$ real quick. Try hot soapy water first and then a scrub with a light solution of TLC. Tough lime deposits may need fine steel wool to get off. A search of this site should find more info.

You can paint the liner with hammertone paint. I believe I have a cap catcher and a back cover for this cooler.  '>
