    Default Red bull fridge

    Before I've asked for repair connections. Tried them all. Half didn't want to help, other half never showed up.

    Trying to diagnose myself. Was hoping it was condenser fan. But that's working. Condenser isn't dirty.
    Let it run for a few hours.

    The inside get hot. Awesome if I'm trying to keep soup warm or leftovers. But not my goal.

    I hate to throw it away, it's really clean

    Any idea

    The compressors are junk on the red bull, monster type refrigerators. HVAC supply houses can't get the replacement compressors for some reason. They are built cheap and called throw away refrigerators. I have two in my basement waiting on compressors as done as I can find them. I called Copland for a good compressor but have not heard back yet.

    I had trouble with my big monster fridge ONLY after I left it in my garage the last 2 frigid winters. It would run, but wouldn't get cold. I had my buddy come out who does HVAC and it needed a charge. There are no fittings to do so. He installed his own and charged it, it's been fine ever since. He said if there is a leak, it must be small because the freon only ran out when temps got down to 0* outside. (My garage stays around 33* but with opening the door all the time it will dip lower).

    Hope that helps.

    I think he would. His name is Steve. He runs a very small company called Metro Detroit Climate Control. 586-772-5310. He has helped me out of a few jambs.

    I have one that works that I bought from another member on here. It's been collecting dust as I no longer have a need for it. Would be willing to sell if you don't get yours working.

    Bitch, you know I'm glad to be back.
