I wish he would open a store in NY - I would recommend him to everyone. He is my 'washing machine whisperer' and is now the only person I'd go to for appliance advice. He had actually hooked it up in his store and used it multiple times, unlike any of the other so called 'professionals' had done. He was the only person I had spoken to who had real knowledge of my washing machine. He explained so quickly and precisely exactly what I needed to know. I had one question and called - who knew he would actually answer the phone himself! Up popped Lorain Furniture with Eugene's perfect and very detailed explanation about my machine. Not one of them knew the correct answer.Īfter weeks of frustration, aggravation, anxiety and dead-ends with inadequate responses, I reverted to Google to search for answers.
I spoke to 4 different salesmen, 2 repairmen, 3 technical supervisors at Maytag's corporate headquarters and 1 repair service supervisor who all gave me different answers regarding the cycles.

I was unclear on one of its important features, even after reading the owner's manual multiple times, something I've always excelled at and easily understand. I live in NY and purchased the Maytag Commercial Washing Machine for my home last month. you can use R413a (R49) as a dropin replacement for R12.MOST INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH EUGENE - he is unlike any other appliance salesman I have ever met. I would ask the shop to pressure test system using dry nitrogen, and spray diluted fairy liquid round suspect joints, this should reveal leak for repair before evacuation & re-charge. Thanks again! I'm going to go with the guy who said R12. Low pressure side of the system? Is that somethingĪ repair shop can fix with this type of compressor? So from what you said I'm guessing the leak is on the When the power was turned off for a extended period The exact same thing that happened a few years earlier Power back on the fridge would not cool past about 55 degrees. The fridge was without powerįor about 72 hours. Then I went out of town and my breaker box flipped aīreaker, the one my fridge was on. I would just use a hair dryer to defrost it while the power I picked it up and never turned off the power again. This item features a classic vintage design with rounded corners, ribbed detail to the door and silver tone metal. They installed the line tap and re-charged it with *****. A vintage Philco model A-731 refrigerator.
When I turned it back on it wouldn't get cold, it would I turned off the power and let it sit a couple days to It worked fine for about a year until I decided to defrost It would not cool but the compressor was working. I got the fridge about 6 years ago from my Grandfathers I don't believe the problem is the line tap because of R22 is generally used for airconditioning in buildings & I've never heard of it being used in domestic refrigeration applications unless anybody else knows different? new Philco refrigerator, the 42-KR5 added a clock to its five-tube AM radio. I'm 99% sure it'll be R12 that it's on, but as it's no longer available the alternative R409a will have to be used. The following models continued in the Philco lineup: 41-22CL (as 42-22CL).
A good repair shop will replace this valve with what we call a Schraeder stub that is much less likely to leak over time. It's probably that leaking or if you're very unlucky there's a leak on the low side somewhere. These line-tap valves are notorious for leaking after time as the 'O' ring seals on them deteriate. I can see what we call a line-tap valve on the pipe above the compressor -that's what we use to access sealed systems for diagnosing & recharging with a pressure gauge. From what you say it sounds like the leak is on the low pressure side of the system (that's figuratively speaking because when running the low side will be above atmospheric pressure) as when off the low side pressure rises as it equalises with the high side & the increased pressure will exacerbate a leak. These days it's exceptional to see 15 years from a compressor on a domestic fridge, even less on the newer non-CFCs. Product features, benefits and images may vary by model number. It's done unbelievably well to last 50 or 60 years. WOW! The compressor looks like an early hermetic (the motor & mechanical parts are sealed within the case) as on modern fridges & not belt drive as I first thought it would be.
