I have a 12v holding plate unit with a Danfoss D25 compressor. The
compressor will run for a minute or so and then cut out. The air
cooling fan continues running. It will start again and then cut out
again. Over and over. Last week I had a problem with a poor ground and
the whole unit was shutting down (low voltage, beeping ) I fixed
that,(new wiring) there's lots of voltage (no voltage drop) and now I
have the compressor shut down problem. The freon (R12) is good I think
(was frosting up nicely on the weekend). The compressor is not
overheating (it only runs for a minute! I can hold my hand on it for
ever without burning). Is it the control module and is this problem
coincidental or related to the earlier low voltage problem. (the low
voltage problem was intermittent over a week, I used the wire jiggling
method before I finally corrected it by re-wiring). Is it the
compressor? There is no amperage spike when it starts - just the usual
4 amp draw. The unit has run flawlessly for 15 years. I am at the end
of my limited knowledge. Help!
