I have an old Adler Barbour Cold Machine. It stopped working, and I debated replacement. Instead, I called a technician who has developed a niche business fixing this type of thing. He discovered that one of the wires leading to the circuit board (looks like a computer motherboard) which runs the compressor had worked itself loose, and that a spark had fried a fuse that I didn’t even know existed. $150, and I’m back in business (at least until the next issue). Avoiding the hassle of installing a new system, even if only for a season or two, is worth $150 to me.

The thermostat now lights up and I see different LEDs go on and off, though nobody, including the manufacturer, knows what the lights mean anymore. So here are some questions, cause I’m not feeling the cold-plate get cold after a while. . . 1. Does it need a warm-up time to get going? 2. Should it be making noise (mine is silent both inside the chest and at the “guts” in the aft cabin)? I’m worried that the compressor motor is seized. 3. Is it worth getting a marine refrigeration guy out there to check it out or am I really just better off ripping the whole thing out and starting fresh? All the best, Edd Edd M.
