@SubZeroSpecialists 19 күн бұрын

@@craigmanahan6431 put your amp meter on the purple wire going into the relay starter. You could go to our website and lookup the running amps for your model compressor which you can find under technical specifications. If your running amps is significantly lower than what it call for then you may have a Freon leak or an insufficient compressor. Checking the back pressure on the low -side (suction line) will yield more accurate results. You’ll need a compound gauge and a piercing valve to get into the system . We have videos on how to do that. One word of caution here, if you’re a DIY. person shut the unit down before you pierce the line and check the pressure, if you have a Freon leak you might be running in a vacuum and could suck in air witch is is detrimental to a sealed system. Back-pressure should be between 1-3 psi or close.

Great video. I have have a Northland refrigerator module unit similar to the one you rebuilt. It needs a new compressor. As of now, it makes a lot of noise on startup after the defrost cycle. The existing compressor is a Tecumseh. I contacted Tecumseh and they advised that they have a direct replacement compressor which is readily available. The new one is a little different in shape but seems to be a good fit based on the measurements I took within the existing module. Would you consider replacing it for me?
