[MangoMike]

I hear the new energy star refrig. is wired directly into the Low Beer Light indicator. Hi Tech.

Joe - It's showing 1 and 2 amps, the old one used 5, this is normal running after comp start-up. The old one hardly ever shut-off, this one was down to set temperature in 4 hours and off. The temperature settings are all digital, so a quick look tells you the status of the fridge, 37 on the fridge and 0 on the freezer. Another plus on the new ones is the built in filter, so we can use more water from the door and less bottled water.

Dale - The windshield was tough to get back in, but I was pre-warned. I wasn't real sure I could get the gasket to seal around the 2 outside corners, but after putting in the strip, it seems ok.

Jamie - How are you making out with yours?

Truk: Nice, Nice Job. When mine quits I would like to come to your place and refill my water bottles from your frig.

Looks factory to me.

Sears came Wednesday & replaced a switch. $ 264 later my fridge was working fine!

It actually was easy to remove from the cabinet.

It also is pulling about 2 amps... It was pulling about 15 amps before it was fixed - thus the switch burn out.

Jamie, I'm glad to hear the switch was the problem. That is much better than having to replace the entire unit. What is the function of the switch?

[Joe Cannarozzi]

Wow. A significant drop in amps and draw. That alone would make it a worth while project for some.

Your batteries are gonna love you for the upgrade.

Now that you have shown the ability to do this we all know where we can come for experienced help.

Tom,

You are really in for a big suprise when you buy the replacement filters. Bring lots of lew bucks.

Dale'

The part was a compressor relay.

Jamie, That makes sense. That's what we kept hearing clicking on and off when the compessor was tring to start.
