| Jeff Urban <jurb6006@gmail.com>: May 03 08:40AM -0700 Got these resistors. My dude picked them up somewhere, 1K ¼ watt Dales. Little brown things. The ALL read like 1.001K, some 1.002. So that is why the were cheap. Well actually I can live with that. Anyway, our "quality control" testing included, after a few pints and tokes, a thermal characteristic test. Taking an average specimen and clipping it to the measuring device was adequate and then I put my butane lighter under it. Now I figure a Zippo is less suitable for this because of it having more hydrocarbons in the flue. If they were to accumulate on the body they could reach 1 microSeimens which would affect the reading to 1/1,000 + 1/1,000,000 to get ohms. something like that. So I am holding the lighter and we are both watching the Fluke. After a bit the resistor caught o fire. That MFer still read 1.001K. "I think it passed". |
| etpm@whidbey.com: May 02 10:14AM -0700 Thanks everybody for your input on the fridge. It appears to be the thermostat. I tried unplugging it overnight and then turning on again. Same symptoms. The thermostat switching mechanism is in a plastic box screwed to the side of the fridge compartment. So it is subject to any humidity changes. The sensing bulb is attached to the cooling plate underside. Since the behavoir didn't change after a 24 hour plus off period I decided to look inside the box. The box is held to the inside with one screw and a tab. Just unscrewing the the retaining screw and swinging the box away from the side started the fridge compressor. Now it is cooling properly. So either the capillary tube is faulty or the switch contacts are dirty. I think. Anyway, I will be taking apart the switch mechanism to see if I can clean the switch contacts. If that doesn't work I do have a little temp controller that I can set to an exact temp that I can substitute for the thermostat assembly. Thanks again for all the reaponses. Cheers, Eric |

Cheers, > Eric Hi Eric, I don't know what fridge stats cost over there but they are only about £10 for a universal one. They also come with a selection of knobs just in case your original one doesn't fit. -- Best Regards: Baron. |
