Compressor is running
Thanks Libertyappl
I got out my car stethoscope and listened to the compressor which sounds like its running. When I switch the unit on and off you can hear the compressor start up with the scope.
The freezer got back down to temp this morning(10F) but this evening was up to around (45F). The fridge side follows same pattern plus 20F
I also took the cover off the inside of the freezer and checked what the diagrams call the lower unit. I found the following conditions:
-Fan was running
-No ice or frost build up on the evaporator
-I shot the evaporator coils with a temp gun and the temp was about 60F.
Any idea what that means if my compressor is running but the evaporator is not cooling down?
I was thinking maybe I was out of refrigerant or had a valve to the compressor (if there is one) not working. Any ideas on what to check next?
