Baumatic BR200A Compact Refrigerator - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I have a Baumatic BR200A
Tis is either a bad lamp assembly, it's plugged in backwards, a faulty switch, or the main control board. That's all there is that controls or supplies power to the light on this unit.
Fridge freezer icing up
Check the drain is clear by blowing through. Some frosting is normal anyway.

The back of our Baumatic fridge keeps freezing, starting at the top, and freezing all the food, even though it is only on level 1? Also, the whole back of the fridge has now bowed out, and popped the
Fridge freezing up- and no fan or air circulation:
AT TIMES The fan usually stops working due to ice obstruction when the defrost terminator has gone out and u get ice build up? u can check the terminator with a multi meter for continuity but do not check at room temperature. stick the terminator in cup of ice water for 20 minutes then check it for continuity, should be closed when cold and open at room temperature.
May also need to check the defrost timer, u can get by and test manually by placing a small screw driver into the tiny slot or hole underneath the timer and turn slowly clockwise till u hear 1 click. this will engage ur defrost cycle in about 15 minutes u should be able to come back and feel the heat in freezer as it melts the ice providing ur terminator is not bad?
Another way to test it is with a multi meter. Remove timer it from fridge and you will see 4 prongs numbered 2,1,4,3 in that order. Place ur meter prong on prong 1 & 3 (if your fridge has a capacitor wired in series with the windings, then u check for micro fares rather than OHMS) If u cannot confirm this test, still try the next.
Take ur meter prong and connect to prong 1 & 4, it should read resistance or ohms ( closed) now remove prongs and place on prong 1 & 2, this should now read infinity or open (no ohms) now take a small screwdriver place it in the tiny hole or slot under the timer. Turn it clockwise slowly till u hear 1 click. Now ur 1& 2 should read closed ( showing ohms or resistance) now place meter prongs on 1 & 4 and you it should now show open ( or no resistance - no ohms) this is how u know ur timer is good, Remember when testing for ohms ADJUST meter to use a high ohms rating in the thousands as the resistance is very high in OHMS. And adjusting to low ohms rating may give a false reading or not show the proper resistance..
Another item to check with a meter is the heating element itself. Located under the evaporator coils. It should show continuity or resistance OHMS WHEN TESTED AT BOTH ENDS OF THE PRONGS .
Lastly check the cold control thermostat with a meter for both OHMS and volts ( VOLTS is a live test with fridge plugged in so be careful) It must show 110 volts. An open or thermostat that reads infinity will not allow the proper cooling and defrosting cycles to operate and may in fact stop anything from happening as if there is no power to the unit?
ALSO CHECK THE AIR FLOW VENT SYSTEM and THERMISTORS At times it can get stuck to far closed or open. Some units feature a digital electric adjusting vent system while others are manually set. Check for any ice build up or other obstruction in the vent damper, see if u can manually open or close it. Some times when u have the settings set to the highest it closes off one area while allowing to much cold air flow to the other area!
THERMISTORS in the freezer and fridge section for continuity OHMS and for amount of OHMS current being put out. In most models around 1300 ( give or take 150 ohms) ohms is required

95 mercury tracer was driving and then veh just stopped running turn key and nothing
It sounds like a possible shorted alternator, or a bad ballast resistor at the power terminal on the solenoid which should be mounted on the fenderwall. To test if your ballast resistor is bad you will need a test light. Hook the test lught to the ground terminal of the battery and test for power by stabbing it into the wire in front of the bulge in the wire. The bulge is the ballast resistor, so you want to test for power at the terminal on the solenoid as well and if yu get no power after the bulge the ballast resister is bad.The run wire should be located at the battery side if the solenoid. The start terminal is the small clip on wire. You should test the batt voltage before testing these wires. If the batt. voltage is extremely low, or completely dead this is a good indication of a shorted alternator. So make sure and charge the batt. at 2 amps for 12 to 24 hrs if it is dead. They will fall flat if charged at a high rate. You have to ease the voltage back up slowly. Please let me know how you make out and post on fixya if this solves your problem. Good luck hope this fixes your problem, if not let me know and we can take it from there.

Why does my baumatic fridge/freezer keep getting iced up
Honestly, it really sounds like your problem in the drain is blocked and is overflowing causing a nightmare. I'm assuming it starts just at the bottom of the back wall just around the first set of drawers. There is a kit that they make that actually resolves this issue. Unfortunatly, after looking it up they actually discontinued that part for your model. Not to worry, I'll tell you how to build on. You'll want to remove the drawers and the shelfs and the back wall. For maximun ease I recommend turning the machine off for a day or two and letting everything thaw out. Once the back is off locate the defrost heater. It will run along the bottom of the evaporator. Now, find the drain hole in the trough below the heater area. Once you;ve done that find an aluminum can and good pair of scissors. Cut a strip that can fit down the drain hole, but not to small or too big. Be sure to make it a decent length. Take one end and sort of wrap it around the defrost heater directly above the drain hole then have the rest of the strip go into the drain. How this works is everytime the machine goes into defrost, this ice will melt and the water will fall to the trough where it will go to the drain. The bad thing is hot water actually freezes faster than cold, but with the aluminum improvised drain heater, heat from the element above will pass downward to the aluminum keeping the water warm enough to not freeze as it goes down the drain and finally out of the machine. Your problem will be a thing of the past. Good luck If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at

My freezer has produced too
TURN IT OF AT WALL FOR ABOUT FOUR HOURS THEN GENTLY RUN A HAIRDRYER AROUND DOOR SEALS. ONCE U GET IT OPEN USE HAIRDRYER AROUND EDGE OF BASKETS TO FREE THEM UP.

Refridgerator and Freezer sections not
Check power is o.k. And then check power to relay. If o.k., Check compressor is working. If not replace relay. After replacing relay compressor working. Keep your arms on discharge pipe line. If warm, gas is o.k. Otherwise, gas leak. If warm and whistling sound inside the freezer, gas flow is normal. If not, system chocked. Release gas and flush out system, vacuum and gas charging.
Hope, helpful.

I have a Baumatic American
Re-level your unit and tilt it just a little toward the back. When you close the refrigerator door you in effect cause a compression affect which pushes the freezer door momentarily open. If it is leveled so that it is tilted toward the back the door would re-close under its own weight.

Remove all bottles and shelves from the unit.
Unplug the power cord from the outlet and wait for the unit to cool down completely.
Locate the screws that secure the boards to the back wall of the unit and remove them with a screwdriver.
Carefully pull out the boards and disconnect any wires or connectors attached to them.
Replace the boards with new ones and reconnect any wires or connectors.
Secure the boards to the back wall with the screws and tighten them firmly.
Plug the power cord back into the outlet and turn on the unit.
Reinstall the shelves and bottles and adjust the temperature settings as desired.
