Message-ID: <2541@rabbit.UUCP> Date: Thu, 23-Feb-84 12:31:59 EST Article-I.D.: rabbit.2541 Posted: Thu Feb 23 12:31:59 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 24-Feb-84 01:53:07 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill Lines: 27 My new house (well, almost new... :-) has an Admiral refridgerator that seems to be in need of some repair. I would appreciate any comments on the reasonableness of fixing this machine (of about 7-8 year age) versus tossing it. The only data I can give is: Compressor is currently drawing 9.5 amps (no typo) on startup, and about 6.5 running.The no-frost stuff is turned off . The duty cycle of the compressor is about 65% in winter, and nearly 100% in summer, this due partly to a bad door seal, and partly to the sick guts of the machine.
