Re: Galley fridge intermittently cooling

Hi Thomas;
An LED bulb will not work. You need an old style LED Diode. These have the two long pins that are usually installed on circuit boards and usually come in a red color. You could have other colors too, which is fine. You can usually find them in electronics stores. Try reducing the RPM to 2000 and see if that helps. If it does, and the compressor starts and stays on and the fridge cools, then your compressor may be getting to the end of its life.
We just replaced the compressor under the top load refrigerator in the galley. I think all of the three compressors are the same or very similar.
Happy Sailing;

Thanks Mohammad,
Hi tried rigging one of my led saloon lights to the connection points on the controller but it didn’t show anything. I blame my rigging/understanding of the connection points. As an aside, i believe the fan attached to the metal radiator on the compressor to be failed.
The potentiometer is set to 3000 rpm at present.
Did you replace just the compressor part, or also the evaporator? Our issue applies to the Stainless steel unit, which is our primary fridge.
Investigation continues...
