Hello again,
I wonder if anyone measured the temperature of the cold plate of the original freezer system once stabilized. It appears that our freezer, after doing well for number of years (setting between 4 and 5 freezing well in lowest say 5 inches), has difficulty to freeze stuff. Pointing laser temp on lower part of the cold plate it shows around -6F top part around +8F. On top of it the thermostat seems to have problem as it will not stop the compressor even when turning down to 2 (before it used to react rather quickly). For now we operate c/b on 2 1/2 to 3 h, off 1 1/2 to 2 h. Ice and snow builds up on the cold plate similarly as before needing defrost in 7 to 10 days (we are in Caribbean so 80 to 90 F ambient)
Would also be know freezer thermostat settings vs corresponding sensor temperature.
Thanks for your input.
