I take it you’d agree my compressor drive’s had it.

Where did you get a replacement from? Costly?

You’re right about the cabinet – it’s built to last.

Mine’s Danish.

Ok – the bad news.
Measured resistances, and sadly, they don’t add up.
Looking towards the pins (bottom common)
bottom to top left – 7.3 ohms
bottom to top right – 13.1 ohms
top left to top right – 10.2 ohms

Readings taken cold (but not freezing unfortunately!)

So I presume it’s bye bye TC115. 🙁

Dug out the manual this morning and found the receipt with it.

Bought on 8 August 1978 for £129.75.

That was an expensive freezer then, but after 31 years and 3 months, I think you’d agree it was pretty good value.

Thanks spimps

Tried another start device. No go. Same as before with restart after 25 – 30 seconds.

If the start windings were damaged on power up after the power cut, would it have started and run for 24 hours after the new starting device was fitted?

Any idea what resistance I should be getting across the pins?

thanks for your input
