I think the compressor is short cycling

the fan in front of the compressor isnt shutting off

compressor is super hot too.  Does that mean its low on freon?

update.


The coils still have frost build up and the machine gets to 27 degrees F and still wont shut off.  I think the clicks on is broken because it has a hole in it from touching the metal frame of the compressor

I'd try a new thermostat.  Sounds like it's running until until the safety shut-off trips.... then eventually cools down and starts over.

where can I buy a new thermostat from? I have a few cooling systems I keep for parts, could I use one of one of those?  Also how do I go about changing the thermostat?  Also with the clicks on having a hole in the metal ring is that ok?

Thanks

'>  t-stats are easy just take the small screw from the cover and and disconect the two wires and replace your t-stat with a new one from soda jerk '>

I used a t-stat from another uss-8-64 cavalier. The machine is cooling now so I dont know if its going to work.   I also replaced the click on because it was damaged. Do I need the exact click on or will one of the same size and profile do the job?


I also may need help with the wiring. Everything is working fine now but I think I may have reconnected it wrong. I did take photos before unhooking all the wires but I just have that feeling.

Whats a Click on? is that the soda machine version of the Klingon from Star Trek?
hope it works out for you.

clicks on is that little circle thing that is hooked to the compressor. My buddy works for Trane and thats what he calls them
