Title: Freezer is on the fritz
Post by: BallAquatics on March 25, 2017, 03:06:04 PM
Going to have to pack it all up and drop it in the chest freezer in Pop's garage....  Oh joy.  I guess I should be thankful I've got somewhere to put it until I can get mine repaired/replaced.

Sorry Dennis.  It's usually the compressor which means that's it's only good for raising red wigglers.

It's over 20 years old.  It's a commercial upright model, so I'm somewhat hopeful that it can be repaired....  might just be wishful thinking on my part.   huh

If it's that old it's worth fixing.  It's the new ones that are built to be thrown away.

I'm hoping that's the case with my unit Liz.  I know that it has a relay and a start capacitor that could go bad....  both of which would cause it not to start-up.  It made a terrible smell and I'm thinking maybe the capacitor gave it up.  Fingers crossed.
