I got the contactor to break the circuit to the compressor. I had it wired across the solid pole of the contactor. I found this out after popping the cover off of the contactor. I also ended up...

No, I had the contactor wired to the solid pole. I will check the contactor next time.

Thanks, I had it wired to the shunt side of the contactor.

Right the main rocker switch is off and contactor is not calling but compressor tries to start and short cycles on OL

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

No the contactor is not closed

Now the compressor kicks on without the contractor closing???

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

The machine is malfunctioning. With rocker switch in the off position the compressor overload clicks then cuts out with the ice switch off in center position.

If you charge in MP39. Weighing in the charge, if the original charge of R-12 was 14oz. How many ounces should I charge in of MP39?

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Do you have to change the compressor and cap tube with MP39?

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Just curious, what refrigerant would you use to replace R-12 in a reach-in freezer? Can't remember if you can use 409 in a reach-in freezer. Any help would be appreciated.

On fractional horsepower compressors. Does tonnage follow horsepower? If I have a 1/2HP compressor. Does that mean it is a 1/2 ton rating on the compressor?

Just curious; what would cause a Scotsman flaker model F0522 to make discolored ice and cause low production?

The Prodigy units are pretty nice to service. I have run into some CME2086 remote units that are a nightmare to access components, on top of Follett ice towers that just make me cringe.

Had one where the compressor contacts in the module welded itself closed. The compressor never shut off in defrost. Now it seems the made an external compressor relay that is replaceable.

On those Manitowoc probes. It is better to just replace them if they are bad enough. I've had few of them go bad after trying to clean them.
