Freezer: R600 compressor running into a vacuum

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:07:51 -0700

I have been running into a issues with R600 freezer running into vacuum after fixing leak. I didn't want to condem the compressor yet. Initially I thought it was a restriction. So I flushed system with nitrogen. I had good flow on my suction line. However after pulling vacuum to 500 microns. Charging by scale. My chest freezer would run and cool to desired temp. But then it goes in to a complete vacuum then stops cooling amps drops as well significantly. No heat rejection. Compressor just runs. When I turn it off it equalize back to normal so no leaks. When I turn it on again. It does the same thing. It can't be undercharged as I charged by weight.

Wed, 04 Dec 2024 21:35:30 -0700

I have bought a new freezer, tested it for around 15 hours then unplugged it for 2 years so far. I'm not planning to live where it is right now. When I unplugged it, I didn't open its door for some time.

What should I do now to ensure that the Feron pipes won't rust or catch any other problem?

Freezer: Freezer warmed up ruined contents at 12°c and then cooled back to - 20

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 11:02:15 -0700

Hi just had an issue with our American style fridge freezer. Noticed a pool of water coming in of night shift this morning opened door everything seemed OK. Went to bed and when I awoke alot of the contents were soggy and spoiled. It got to 12°c Since emptying it and leaving it on as the fridge part was still maintaining its cool temp it's got its self back up to the - 20°c I set it at. I don't really want to fill it again if it's an intermittent fault. The back was dusty so I've cleaned all that. We bought it in around 2015 and in 2019 had it replaced under warranty for the same thing. I can't remember what was wrong with it. With this model it does say 10 year guarantee on the compressor just need to find the paperwork before the Mrs orders a new one. Anyone any ideas?

Freezer: Galaxy Chest Freezer - lines freezing, fan not running

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 08:16:39 -0700

Hey everyone,

Trying to figure out what to do to get my freezer working again. I came back from a weekend trip and everything was completely frozen over on the left side of the condenser. I followed advice here and defrosted the freezer - but upon starting it back up again the line still freezes but now the freezer won’t even get cold enough to freeze ice blocks. The condenser just runs and runs and runs constantly and gets very hot while the line freezes as in photos below.

Do I need to add more refrigerant? Do I need to get a new condenser and fan motor? I’ve seen some suggestions about cleaning out condenser lines but don’t know how to go about that from here… any help would be great!
