I got one of your compressors off a friend that had not used the unit in years, it say in his garage and collected dust. So I changed the plug and wires, got a new outlet in my garage for a 230 line and plugged it in. It ran great and filled the tank to115 psi (its max) then shut off, I used it a bit to test and it turned back on to fill and then shut off. It now wont start or run, and I'm confused as to what it could be.

Go for the simple fix first. Unplug unit and look inside once the cover is removed. It may be that dust and lint that collects on the coils have dropped down into the pan / tray and have blocked the little hole that would allow the water to go into the bucket. Only try this if you can safely remove and replace the cover.

Hi - Typically freezers are not recommended to be located outside because if the garage temperature is above 100 degrees, it will have difficulties performing optimally due to un-circulating air. Some manufacturers have garage kit design to help with this issue. It is design to solely be used during the winter to provide heat to the coils which trigger the compressor to come on. During the summer months, generally it is not needed.

When was the last time you cleaned the condensers? You may do so by removing the toe grille and use extended vacuum attachment and condenser cleaning brush to remove dust buildup from condenser coils usually located on the left side underneath. If you hear the compressor running and if it is providing warm air then that means it is operating correctly and the sealed system is removing heat from the cabinet. Fan motor/evaporator may be the primary issue. However, if you do not hear the compressor and the unit is blowing room temperature then the unit may possibly have a sealed system leak, faulty compressor or overload relay. Contact a professional to move forward accurately from this point.

Fridge Freezer errors COOLING Dust on the condenser coils can cause overheating, observe safety precautions then clean coils. Switch off the unit before you clean them. If the problem persists, test the compressor for overheating. Overheating will cause many problems with cooling ability. Leave the unit unplugged for 3 hours and plug it in again. If it starts working, the compressor is probably overheating (Observe cautions with food going bad). A simple cause of the problem might also be that there is not enough airflow Lack of airflow is the number one cause of compressor problems and thus an owner purchasing another unit for hundreds of dollars when you can fix it for free.There should be at least several inches distance between the sides and walls/cupboards/ceiling. Electrical There is an in-line fuse mounted in the line supplying the power to the ice-maker. It is in the wire clipped to the side, change out this fuse asap. It is actually a 20-amp fused, associated with the grounded electrical supply. PARTS You may order parts very cheap from here www.canadianappliance.ca/KBRS22KV.html TIME TO CHANGE YOUR FILTER While your on the back of the system, please check the filter. There is a filter in the back of the fridge in the upper right hand side. If you do not change it, it will slow down the frig and burn it out permanently.

Hi,
There are many reasons why a dehumidifier willnot work or collect water.
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrongwith their dehumidifier

Dehumidifier is running but no water is in bucket

the compressor itself can be cleaned with any mild cleaner/degreaser and a rag (the fins are aluminum and the tubing is copper, so no heavy-duty cleaners). if you mean the condenser (coils), compressed air works best. if the pressure is too high or the hose nozzle too close, the fins will bend, so be careful. if the dust/dirt/obstructions are really coated on the fins, there are cleaners that you can spray on. as long as you know can clean what's behind it and can soak up the puddles, you can spray simple green, let it set for a little, then use the air hose to blow it out. you can use a fin comb to straighten out the bent fins. for the evaporator fins, just use air.

most probable cause of a dehumidifier not collecting water when it appears to run fine otherwise is a dirty heat exchanger. It is unlikely that a huge spread in the time a unit works is caused by failure of the compressor of loss of refrigerant. On the other hand, people use their units in very varied conditions of dust in the environment with expected short to long operating times before failure. Here's how to fix this problem in two steps.

Step 1: Determine if your compressor and refrigerant sealed unit is operational
Step 2: If Step one is negative, dispose of the unit - specialized equipment is required to repair or recharge a compressor. If step one is positive, then clean the heat exchanger.

CHECK CONDENSOR FAN IN REAR OF UNIT NEAR COMPRESSOR. IF COMPRESSOR IS RUNNING AND UNIT IS COOLING SOME, CONDENSOR FAN IS LIKLY THE PROBLEM. IF THE CONDENSOR FAN DOES NOT RUN THE COILS UNDERNEATH AND THE LOOP THAT RUNS NEAR THE FRONT EDGE OF BOTH DOORS WILL BE HOT.

if the compressor is running it sounds like a refrigerant problem or dead compressor in both cases its not cost efective to repair dan

Try cleaning the coil and filter. They may have collected alot of dust and this could have caused the issue. If it is still doing it after you clean it the issue may be thecompressor. If the compressor is bad it may be cheaper to pick up a new unit. I recommend picking up one that has an energy star rating. They are usually made of higher quality materials and will save you some money on your electric bills. If you found this solution helpful please rate it.

Thanks - Tech101

The water may be condensation dripping in an area where the catch components are not able to catch it. The largest line that exits the cold coil and ends at the compressor should be insulated without any tubing showing all the way back to the compressor, deficits in the insulation (even small ones) could cause condensation to form and drip.
