I have an old 5 cu ft freezer that I've been using for a lagerator for the past 10 years or so. It recently decided to stop cooling. The compressor runs and I checked all the relays, switches, caps, etc, but it just won't get cold. Now I'm thinking it's out of freon and needs to be re-charged. Have any of you guys ever tried something like that on a freezer or fridge? I found some cheap equipment on Amazon that looks like it would do the trick but also know nothing about working with Freon.

Re: Freezer Repair
Contact Mike Young from the Ankeny Homebrew club on The Facebook. He had a similar issue and fixed it with a cheap part off of The Amazon.DrPaulsen wrote:I have an old 5 cu ft freezer that I've been using for a lagerator for the past 10 years or so.

Re: Freezer Repair
Mike suggested a part to me that I had bought maybe 9 years ago to bring a 3 door True cooler back from the dead. I should really write the shit I do down when it works so I remember it.

Re: Freezer Repair
Hey Lee, what part is that. I have an upright freezer that I have been using as a fridge, that died on me this week.
