Wilbur, eat your heart out -- if you have one.

In the face of comments from many far better informed about refrigerators you
continued to insist that the problem with my fridge was overcharging. Given
the manner in which the machine was operating, the consensus diagnosis was
water vapor causing ice at the orifice and blocking refrigerant flow. The
machine would run perfectly for about ten minutes then stop cooling while the
compressor got hot and the pressure-side line to the condenser got cold.

I bought a vacuum pump, hoses for R134a refrigerant and a can of same.
Connected the suction-side port to the pump and ran it for about an hour.
Charged the evacuated system with refrigerant and started it. Presto! Now
running like brand new.

Anybody want to rent a vacuum pump and hoses? Needed only one hose, the blue
one, but they come in sets of red, blue and yellow.


And yet another pebble added to the pile of proof that Willy-boy knows
not of what he speaks.
