Question about Refrigerators

Modifying cooler My boss wants me to install a cup holder on the side of a Silver King Beverage Cooler, Mod SK18MAJ. (Naturally he wants me to do it so if I screw something up, he can blame me!) I am reluctant to do so because I don't know if there is anything on the inside of the wall (ie cooling coils, electrical harnesses, etc) that 1/2 inch screw would hurt. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I appreciate you assistance. I talked to the manufacturer after posting my request with you and the technician's recommendation was: DON'T DO IT!!!
Again, thanks.

Looking at the specs of a sister cabinet in this range the SK15MAJ it states that the interior and exterior of the cabinet are stainless steel. This is really bad stuff to drill through and unless you can see both sides of the metal you are drilling into I would steer well clear. The only other safe areas on refrig equipment tend to be door fronts or control panel areas where you can gain access to both sides. The other aspect is that these cabinets look very expensive and if you make the mistake it will backfire on you not your boss: he told me to do it can easily be denied. A solution would be to design something that can hook over the cabinet and be glued rather than drilled to to be secured. Speaking as someone who has hit buried refrigeration pipes it is not a nice experience even when you know all the risks and have previously warned the customer. If in doubt please dont pick up the drill. You can always say you dont do DIY. Hope this helps.

High pressure oil cooler lines

No easy way. It is a pain job. Correct size wrenches most important. No adjustables. Fan and shroud and underpan removed helps. Most of the time you need to remove the front motor motor mount to get a good purchase on the front housing fitting. Most critical is to use two wrenches on the cooler, making sure that the fittings that goes into the cooler do not move , leaks will occur and if you try tighten the fitting, you will crack the housing boss and ruin the cooler.

Removing the front mount requires holding the engine up with a holder of hoist. When installing, do not overtighten at the oil cooler.

Hi.

The price depends on the model and on the internal volume. Here a UK seller: Commercial Beverage Coolers & Commercial Bottle Coolers. Here a SA distributor of beverage coolers. The choice includes Kelvinator.

About the fault. If the problem happened after a power surge it is often possible to repair the cooler replacing the starter relay mounted on top of the compressor. The part is not expensive. Call the Kelvinator number listed on the owner manual to know more about the possible repair or to purchase the part.

Regards.

I have a Beverage Air model MT 27. Coils have been cleaned and recharged with freon. Cooler will not cool below 50 degrees?

You'll need to check the back-pressure on the low-side of the system, you have a faulty compressor. If there is a condenser fan motor make sure it is running when the compressor is on.

New compressor installed- wont cool

Check evap for a restriction. Check drier to see if it is installed in the correct direction. Does not sound like a cap tube issue if you can verify flow with nitrogen.

I am pretty certain that Beverage Air is owned by Sanyo.

Take a look at their website and see what you find.

But isn't the light holder just a standard florescent or other type of bulb holder?

Beverage-Air MT72

Bi-pin Fluorescent Lamp Installation /Verification Prior to applying power to the unit, verify that all lamps are properly installed and fully engaged in the lamp holders.

Proper lamp engagement is achieved by rotating the lamp 90° from its insertion position until it "snaps" or "clicks" into place.

Visual verification can be made on units without safety shields by using the identification mark on the end of the bulb. Properly installed bulbs will have the mark centered between the "halves" of the lamp holder.

On units with shields, the identification mark cannot be seen. Physically verify that the lamp has been rotated and locked into place.

Caution: Improperly installed lamps may cause damage to the lighting circuit. Beverage-Air shall have no liability whatsoever for equipment or component failures or other damages or losses which arise as a result of improper installation.

Beverage cooler not cooling enought

Jeremy, after the line and new filter drier is put in the high pressure side and silver soldered make sure the unit is placed in absolute vacuum for 30 to 60 minutes. It's critical that all air and moisture is remove and the charge applied on low side with out a single air bubble put back in. You may need some on hands help on this solution to get the cooler working properly, Thanks Sea Breeze

How do you remove the thermostat cover in a Tecnik TKR 641 fridge? The thermostat dial has been removed. The retainer nut is off. Cover will not come off. Is there another retainer screw under a cover or a latch that needs to be released? Anyone?? Any ideas??? It will be a shame to have to buy a new fridge because we can't access a thermostat to replace it...
