Once you lay down a big boy like that, it will need 24 hours or so to get the freon back in order. Don't give up just yet.

KyNola

Thanks SS.  I appreciate your help.  CRG just called me and said the same thing.  Who knew?  I'll just start cleaning on the inside and let it set for a day or so before firing it up again.

You should be able to get that fridge going for a couple hundred dollars long as your refrigeration guy works for Beer. One thing to check for is the interior fans, if they arent spinning you wont have any cooling. same with the fan blowing on the Evaporator coil on top. Good Luck!!!

KyNola

Thanks for the advice Key.  The fan on the evaporator coils is definitely spinning but I don't think the interior fans are turning.

I can't find a brand name or model number plate anywhere on that thing.  Did find one plate that said "Property of the Mayflower.  Do not remove." ;D

$100?  Oh HECK YEAH!!!!
If I can get it cooling heck yeah.  If I can't, oh well.  I have had bigger bar tabs than $100 but then again you know that Hal because you were in NOLA with the rest of Krewe du Smoke. ;) 8)
Pffffffffffffft!!!!... You had bigger bar tabs than that in the Eighties!

  Jan said if it doesn't work it will make a great storage cabinet! ;D  Gotta love that girl, she is an absolute trooper.


I think I am falling in love with your wife. Just kidding. Any woman that lets you get away with what you do is definitely a keeper. And that is one hell of a fridge. Nice score.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

Thanks for the offer to help Key.  I appreciate it.

Q, I can dispute nothing you said. Jan lets me get by with a lot! ;D  Now, if I can just manage to get that thing running.  Cleaned on the interior all afternoon.  Still not lettting you see that yet.  It is pretty grungy but getting better.  Amazing what a Shark steam cleaner can do.
