690/f freezer reads -16

SOURCE: Compressor area above refrigerator is getting very hot

Hi,


Check Thermostat.
Proper Cleaning/Defrosting of fridge and freezer.
Proper Placing and Distance from wall.
If your hand bear the body temperature of that specific area then its normal.
Contact technician to verify Freon pressure.


Best of Luck,

SOURCE: compressor keeps running. Hasn't shut off in last

Good chance your FREON or refrigerant has developed a leak. To save money, put your unit in the back of your truck or trailer and take it to a REFER shop and have the Sealed System Checked. They will tell you if it can be recharged or if you Compressor has died. If the compressor has died, generally it means the unit is too expensive to fix. Reason, the cost is high, the recapture of the GAS before it is recharged in expensive, the compressor is expensive, and the recharging is expensive and then putting a new compressor in a older refer could put a lot of pressure on a group of existing old parts... well then, the weakest link will generally break... Not always, but if one does, then your into a older refere and stuck with pouring more money into older unit.. Sorta like pouring money into a hole in the water... They call that a boat... Hummmmm Good luck....

The following blog may be of help to you, and suggests that thermisters may be the problem:

This makes sense, especially since it's your last error code.
If the unit has a damper, it could be frozen or stuck, but that's the only other thing I can think of to check.
Good luck, and hope this helps.

The noise that you are hearing is in the compressor. The motor has rubber mounts that hold the motor inside the compressor. One of these mounts are broke and what you are hearing is the motor hitting against the inside of the compressor. Have you tried cleaning the coils? let me know.
