Maybe

This happened to me once with my watercooled A/C. What happened was, the water pump lost it's prime which in turn over heated the compressor and shut it down. Look for a reset switch on your unit and if you can get it to come back on you can go from there.You can also ohm-out the compreswsor to see if it has gone bad. If you need more specifics e me at Captronbob@yahoo.com and I'll tell you how to do it.

quit?

Greg, I need a little more information. There have been 2 versions of the SuperCold Machine. They are completely different electricly. The older version used a Framec brush compressor. The newer a Danfoss with an electronic control module. Neither have a reset. The Framec was protected by a thermal cutout which would reset itself. The Danfoss would cut out on high amp draw, but would restart when conditions improved. The Danfoss style also has a 15 amp fuse located on the module under a gray fuse cap. The thermostat can be bypassed on both versions by simply jumping the two thermostat wires together.If it still won't start, I need to know which style compressor you have to proceed any further.
