[VAC] Re: Fridge not cooling!
Ken. If a cooling system has become vapor locked, for most any reason, the
system will then not cool. In that case, turning the reefer upside down will
fix the problem.
However, you can still fix a vapor lock, by letting the system cool down to
ambient temperature, overnight is fine, and then tow the trailer 10 to 20
miles. Much easier to do than removing the reefer. If towing it does not fix
it, then "burping" it won't either.
The last thing that can happen, is for one of the internal orifices to become
plugged up, or partially so, by a foreign object, usually a particle of rust.
Burping, may dislodge that particle, so that the unit cools again, but it
will return. When? Who knows. Where will it return? On a trip.
