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?

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.

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 :-)

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%
