From the IP' initial post "THIS IS NOT MICRO CHANNEL.". Take the time to read the information provided.

Thanks for the pictures! Hope you will update us on the rehab.

That model was made between 1964 and 1970, so you are looking at a 50+ year old unit. As previously mentioned above, you will have to put access fittings on the system.

The condensate pan under...

Got you all beat... but short term I'm sure.

I think I have parts for that cutting grid... would have to go way back in the storage area. From the receiver label, looks like it's 502. When they made the change from R12 they just bumped up the...

I have seen three of these systems over the years. One was at a produce stand and the others were at hunting camps. As long as you are going to stay around 40 deg, and you size the A/C properly,...

If the machine is making no ice, how can he get the pressure just before harvest? :whistle:

To the OP- unplug the pump, start the machine and see if the evaporator frosts up. If it doesn't, you...

I have had a couple of condenser fan motors fail on the Indegos. They will kick on and off on their own, and sometimes run at half speed.

Unlike the larger KM machines, the AM-50BAE uses a plated evaporator. You must use a nickle safe cleaner.

I don't like the plastic ones that have the zip tie end- seen too many break. I always use Tutco. They are stainless steel with hose clamp type ends, so you can get a good snug fit.

Primmers- in...

It's my understanding, Big Blue is soap and glycerin. It will wash off with the condensate as the unit runs. Why mess with anything else?

I have the complete 12 part manual in the original Carrier binder I might sell. If interested, message me.

Check out the first part of this video from IOM. Can't do a direct link, but pull up this link and then open "ICE0325 Modular Cuber-short cycling", seventh video down.

Read the manual...starting at page 52. Content is your friend.

Ice- you mean you didn't like kneeling and laying down on a beer soak mat? And the bartender asking "how long are you going to take?". http://kebawe.com/smellies/smellie_boom.gif

Gaskets and hinges would be much cheaper than custom doors. But give a call to the company Ice suggested... I have been wrong before. http://kebawe.com/smellies/smellie_wink.gif

Looks like you might just need new hinges.

Ice is right- there are many service valves, but only one king valve.

Neat install. Is that romex coming out of the wall and running under the second floor deck?

Some compressors have an internal relief valve. Opens when high side pressure exceeds ---psi. Monitor your high side pressure after startup, and see if it goes too high. It sounds just as you...

sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. At least you tried and maybe learned something.

I have reclaimed a bunch of dorm fridges, small window shakers, de-humidifiers etc. that I picked up at the...

This is from your first post. 1.5 A is pretty low. What is the time between 10 and 1.5?

As to your question, probably have to change the cap tube, and maybe the oil in the pump.

Yellow powder is probably a break-down of the desiccant. The black tar is oil that has cooked. I'll be this unit ran overheated for a good while... maybe the condenser airflow restricted. Makes...

Looks good.

Yes, it sounds like a partial restriction. Did you change the dryer? You could try the old trick of cutting off 1 - 2" of the cap and trying it again.

Weigh in the charge and see what happens. Just guessing, but your suction should probably be around 9 - 14 psi.

Never had a problem with mineral oil and 502. Back in the day, 3 jugs and life was good

What oil is True going to be using? From the video Ice posted, the 15 minute open time limit would indicate POE, but according to ACHRNEWS R290 plays nice with mineral oil.

Hoshizaki KM-151BAH fits the bill. 23.75" wide.

I remember on my first summer on the job (1974), I was a helper on a roof checking a package unit with a lead. I was kneeling next to him, he cracked open the discharge valve, shoved my head into it...

Nice find- thanks.

Is this a 3 or 4 sided gasket (just a sweep on the bottom)?

Get a piece of 1" x 1/8" steel stock about 6 - 8" long. Grind the working end down to fit the two slits. Insert and turn out the fitting with an adjustable wrench. I have used this for 25+...

Loosing the trap will be just like having a 7/8" hole in the wall- drawing in moisture as Ammoniadog said. If you really want to go hack-easy, just stub out the drain fitting and install a 5 gallon...

If you were in the south with little freezing temps, put the trap outside.

But you are in cold winter country. You will have to heat tape an external trap anyways, so you will add these problems-...

Emory oak, willow oak and shingle oak have similar leaves. How long are the average leafs, and what do the acorns (if any) look like?

Well done!

Used to do bulk tank work back in the 80's on small dairy farms. Nicest people, but the worst cobbled equipment and working conditions.

23 psi will give you a SST of 26 F. That's too high to maintain a 35-38 box temp. Try pulling out a little gas. If you have a coil sensing t'stat, it just isn't reaching cutout temp. Of course if...

I remember them from back in the late 70's. They worked some of the time, gripping on the cap tube could be a problem. (lots of pressure} But move up to 2016 and here is a problem I see-

Cold plates I have serviced usually have the probe on the suction line coming out of the plate.

The title says it all... For some reason, you have to click on the second one.
