evening, it’s a Frigidaire rl6003b and it has a strange fault, The original fault was not getting cold, so bypassed the stat and it worked. so i fitted a new stat and now the compressor won’t turn off (but gets cold) and there is a inside temperature difference from front to back of 8c(ish)
any ideas?David
Re: fridge problem
This Frididaire model was notorious for leaking the refrigerant out. So a number of questions, you say that bypassing the stat caused the inside cabinet to get cold, to what temperature? Secondly it was during its product run charged with both R134a and R600a both of which have a different boiling point ie R600a @ -11.7C R134a @ -26.6C. This resulted in two different thermostats being offered. As thermostats are usually clipped or bolted to the evaporator where the gas is boiling off you can see that having the right stat is critical. Curiously you state that the compressor is getting cold when in fact is should run warm or if short of gas hot. Perhaps you could clarify also the statement inside front to back difference of 8c. In such a small unit that seems excessive. Have any other mods been carried out?
