So an air conditioning system can't have a small leak that reduces
the level of refrigerant over time? Then why did my son in law just
have to add 2 lbs to our older AC unit? Where did it go?<br>

<p class="MsoPlainText">If it leaks it has a leak. No over time,
no evaporating. A leak. Some repairable some not so much.
Especially on a domestic refrigerator. Gets into cost of
repair exceeds value of equipment. However that could cause
excessive run time but the compartments would be warm,
eventually hot. Dean indicated that temps were OK. Granted
without a thermometer. Calibrated fingers? <span

<p class="MsoPlainText">> We have a GE side by side
refrigerator, Model TFX27F, with all the bells and whistles
Front Door Ice and Water dispenser, access door to
refrigerator without opening the big door, etc etc. In fact
we have a duplicate running in our kitchen right now. This
one was used as extra freezer and refrigerator space for
awhile when we moved here 20 years ago and then it was turned
off and not used for at least 10 years. Well in my current
need of making space in the garage I fired it back up to check
everything to get it ready for sale. It freezes and the
refrigerator compartment gets cool like it should, well I
haven't put a thermometer in each compartment, but it appears
to me to be working. Except..... it never quits running. Not
quite true it runs about 95% of the time. Without having door
opened or anything disturbed. We have had such good luck
with this era of combination freezer refrigerator I thought it
might be worth something to those just getting on their feet.
I've cleaned the whole guts under the compartments and it
really wasn't all that bad. The coils are clean as can be. I
doubt this thing is worth more than $100 running as it should
but if I could find a cheap fix it might be worth spending $20
on a part or so.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">> And to satisfy the list needs of
being on topic. I need to make more room for Antique Tractor
stuff I don't need. Any one have a test I can run or a
particular part I can check? I'm pretty proficient electronics
wise. Besides if I could get this running properly somebody
might take this off my hands and I won't have to deal with
getting rid of it. It would take my loader tractor to get it
in to my P/U bed. Big heavy sucker. Help? PS: I don't
remember the last time I threw something away but I do
remember it was traumatic.! <span
