Everything is running but not cooling-- boat was on land for month-- can not find where to recharge? Any help would be appreciated! Russ

100% the compressor is running???

rb11633 · September 2018

Yes-- I can hear it, and it is heating up

Handymans342 · September 2018

Does this model have a condenser fan and is that running?

rb11633 · September 2018

Yes-- fan is running as well-- when you look at the top in the back-- for the life of me I can't figure out how to recharge, or even if it should be-- will check actual make and do some additional research-- all seems working, just not cooling.

It is probably a Dometic/Waeco fridge. I don't believe they can be charged. If it needs charged, there is more than likely a pin hole somewhere. If that is the case, the charge won't last long. Did anyone try to defrost the unit recently?

These small units dont come with charging ports. You will have to install a self piercing schrader valve to fit the suction line. They dont take much Freon and its crucial to add the correct amount. Should be r134a

Shoot- a bit beyond me-- but where would I get a self piercing schrader valve and nt sure the suction line is even large enough--

Handymans342 · September 2018

HVACparts.com and you need a charging valve or gauges

If you can't get the size then you would cut the suction line and solder one in. You really need a lot of knowledge here .Pull it out and take to an appliance repair shop. That will save alot

Howdy, Stranger!
