Come on guys, its easy. Throw name plate away that states charge because its wrong, Fix leak on king valve and charge with about 6lbs of r404a. Viola, its fixed.
I like the paragon 8145 it's a workhorse. They all have problems but in my neck if the woods the grasslin clicks don't seem to hold up due to the salt in the air. The boards corrode out to quickly.
Okely dokely. Why the kite in derekkite? You don't happen to kitesurf do you?

I suppose I can go back to the 8045, 8145 Paragon mechanicals but they seize up a lot, burn out their contacts, etc. and are almost twice the price at times. I ran into this last week. These are the mechanical clocks with the small rockers around the outside of the dial. I had one defrost that wouldn't terminate, the rest were fine. Must be part of the rocker broken or worn. Derek

That doesn't seem right does it? That sure doesn't sound right to me. I wonder what makes it do that? After it starts to warm up is the evaporator covered with frost? Fully covered? Partially covered? Is there a sight glass moisture indicator? If so; what color is it? PHM ------ Originally Posted by johnsea

Maybe it gets tired and needs to rest a little.
Maybe we should just start guessing?
Moved to refrigeration and ice making forum. I agree, we need more info.
