AML 54 fridge cooling
Ian, Judy, I'm suspecting my refrigeration cooling circuit needs a clean out. Can you buy Rydlyme in Greece? I'm currently in Preveza.

B&G Sonic Speed failure
Thanks for the advice Stefan. Yes I did check there was power going to the unit. I also checked the output to the H2000 and saw 150mV. But, darn it I didn't know to check the AGC voltage, I'll do that
