Adler Barbour ColdMachine Compressor

[Rob2435]

After blowing a few fuses, I've figured out that the compressor is bad by plugging and unplugging wires and the fuse only pops when the compressor is plugged in...Tried the old hit it with a hammer suggestions to free a stuck solenoid inside the compressor but it didn't work.

Question: can I replace just the compressor or get into buy and fitting a new machine?

If this is a older 4 pin connecter at compressor module and fuse that blows is plugged into module I have replacements. If $150 replacement does not solve problem you get the $150 back. This is how sure I am that module is bad and no need for new compressor.

uh...not good.. where did you get that idea? it doesn't work.. never worked on hermetic compressors.. It used to work on really large old semi hermetic compressors

Richard is your best source really.

Richard,

I just sent you an email...Thanks for the help.

 

[Richard Kollmann]

You can not get return mail so if interested email me at richard@kollmann-marine.com
If module fuse blows, Module is bad 999 times and compressor is good. Try my module for 30 days and money back if it does not solve your problem. Your cost is only shipping.

Richard,

just got a chance to install the module I purchase from you and it worked great. I do have to change the mounting plate as the footprint isn't the same as the old one but my fridge is working again!!!!!

Hi Richard, Im considering to install refrigeration in my ODay 322, now it has the regular ice box which came in the boat from the factory,
can you advice me or recommend me the right equipment to install with as low consumption as possible?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Refrigeration Issues

Richard was a guest expert once on this site and is kind enough to drop by once in a while. However, for a question, best to go directly to his site as marked in another post. FYI, he has saved me many hundreds of dollars working through refrig issues. He also has/had a book available on his site that is terrific!
