    Freezer door not freezing

    UPDATE: the tech came out the next day and removed the refrigerant, installed a tap and recharged the system with fresh refrigerant. His reckoning (and that of others with great experience) was that the capillary tube got blocked after the defrost timer malfunctioned. Once he purged and...

    Help needed with crestline aluminum boat

    The guys are just trying to help. If you do a complete and beautiful restoration on the boat, but the paperwork isn't correct, then you won't be able to legally use the boat at all. And then it'll just be a yard planter. If I recall, Texas requires a title for the boat and a separate title...

    Freezer door not freezing

    Update: some 4 hours after the repair, the fridge was getting warmer, not colder. I called the tech and he stopped by and checked it out. He discovered that the evaporator coil was frozen at the bottom and along one side. So he used a steam cleaner and got the ice off and put everything back...

    Freezer door not freezing

    All fixed! It was indeed the defrost timer. Total cost to repair was $190. I am one happy camper! 😁

    Freezer door not freezing

    Repair guy will be here this afternoon. He did say that my 15 y.o. fridge is a good one and should be repairable. Sort of like an older truck. Keeping my fingers crossed. 🤞

    Freezer door not freezing

    Good morning, guys. We let it run overnight and still no joy. It's 27 in the freezer section and 47 in the fridge. I'll be calling the repair place when they open. :(

    Freezer door not freezing

    Update: it's been over 3 hours and the freezer sections are at 23-24 degrees but the fridge sections are still in the mid-40s. We're gonna leave it alone overnight and see how it is in the morning. Hopefully, we only wounded it and didn't kill it completely. :rolleyes:

    Freezer door not freezing

    There are appliance repair companies around here. If the temps don't drop down a lot more by tomorrow morning, I'll contact one of them and get it repaired. Has to be a lot cheaper than buying a new one for $1,500 - $2,500. o_O

    Freezer door not freezing

    How long should it take for it to drop down to normal temps? It's been 75 minutes since we plugged it back in. Freezer sections have temps ranging from 21 - 33 degrees. I put some frozen stuff from the chest freezer in there to help. Not a lot of stuff, just some. Fridge sections are 45 -...

    I think we found the problem. :rolleyes: My wife is cleaning it now. 😏

    Freezer door not freezing

    Update: both sides of the fridge/freezer are getting warmer. So whatever is going on is affecting both sides. We're looking to see how to remove the back panel now.

    Freezer door not freezing

    Our upright side by side fridge/freezer is misbehaving. The inside of the freezer section is working normally (23 - 25 degrees) but the freezer door temps are 33 degrees. The stuff we had in the door has started thawing out. Right now my wife is moving critical stuff from the upright to our...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    I have XPS foam under the deck in my Kingfisher. We originally put it in there under the old deck when I first did the fixup so that we could repair some leaks below deck. Then we put new foam sections in and reinstalled the old deck and used the boat that way for a couple of years. Then when...

    Motor opinion

    Maybe try using it on a different engine? Lawn mower? Car? Then see if it does the same thing with those.

    I need some photo scanning software

    I ended up using the ScanSpeeder free trial version for the couple dozen pix I had to have for tomorrow. It works really well at detecting and splitting the images. I had as many as 6 on the flatbed scanner at the same time and it found all of them. The Auto-Splitter software also worked well...

    I need some photo scanning software

    I have several hundred old school hardcopy photos which I need to digitize. I received my new scanner yesterday and got it up and running this morning. I've spent quite a bit of time today trying to find software which will capture the photos and auto-split and auto-correct multiple pix from...
