Hello all,
I'm looking for some help getting my BH7-41A refrigerator up and running. The refrigerator was originally bought by my great grandparents and was running in my grandpa's garage up until about ten years ago.
My grandpa stopped using the fridge a couple years before he died because it was freezing everything. Eventually I ended up with the refrigerator and when I plugged it in, it cooled down right away getting well below freezing on the warmest setting.
So before I found this forum and learned that I was not supposed to remove the bellows from the thermostat, I did just that. The bellows have been out of the thermostat for at least a year while I've been working on other projects. I was wondering if I need to put the bellows in a freezer, or take any other precautions to reassemble it. Also, are there any tips for adjusting the thermostat when I get it back together?
In the mean time, I assumed that the compressor is working fine and that my problem is just with the thermostat. I have cleaned up, replaced gaskets, repainted and re-chromed the fridge and now it's just waiting on me to figure out the thermostat.
I'd appreciate any help or suggestions that you fellers could give me.
Thanks,
Tim
