At any rate, since I crimped the connectors tighter it hasn't missed a beat. I am just soooo freaking smart!!! Perhaps this might assist somebody else who has been experiencing the same or similar symptoms. Loose connections? And you are a genius to have fixed them? Aren't you the guy who is described as having a few loose screws? -- Cheers, Bruce In the computer and auto electrical repair worlds, I live by the truth that "it's always the connector!" I see it works on boats as well :-) Years ago, in the Apple II days, I used to "fix" computers by pulling the cards out and pressing them back in a couple of times. Sort of scratched the corrosion off I guess. A really serious defect was sometimes cured by rubbing a rubber eraser across the contacts. -- Cheers, Bruce Back in the days of my TRS-80 computer, when it started getting flaky, pull all the cables and wipe the male connectors with a red rubber pencil erases. Worked great. As for the fridge, did you evacuate all the cooland and recharge? You could have water vapor in there. That was someone else fixing the fridge. But your question brings up something... The American refrigeration people I've worked with all insisted on long periods of vacuuming systems. the Thai's on the other hand hook the pump up, pause to light a cigarette, and then charge it with refrigerant. But I've never had a Thai serviced system freeze up :-) -- Cheers, Bruce Low ambient humidity? ![]() You must be joking. This morning (0730) on a nice, clear, going to be hot today, its already 80, day the relative humidity is 80% -- Cheers, Bruce |
