mach II turning off after several minutes

[eviLRuLeZ]

hello,

some news...
I fixed my problem with my mach II.. It's fully charged now with R134a , 64g..
but i have a problem..

ALL leds are Lit except one : the green led.

I read on the manual : Bimetal is open, too much condensation.

Can some1 tell me what bimetal is? What it looks like?
And how can I repair it?
I saw condensation and Ice on the lower part of the compressor.. should it be that?

thanks again :D

dont be impatient, personally i cant offer much help as i have never owned a prommy, but im sure someone in the know will be along shortly and will help ya out. :)
mabey it is overheating or something? have you checked to make sure the fan is working? and that it isnt cloged up with dust?
owen

[eviLRuLeZ]

i tryed to touch compressor but it's not overheating :/
the 2 fans are working properly :/

i dont understand the sentence : "cloged up with dust"

thanks :)

He's saying make sure the Condensor Coil is "Clean".
Remember lint, dust, dirt, oil, and etc will not conduct heat.
Just because you have air flow doesn't mean the coil may be dirty.

[Blergo]

yes, thats what i mean, if the condensor coil is dirty even if there is air flow it might not be disipating the heat. its interesting you say the compressor isnt overheating aswell because on a normal system the compressor usually gets so hot that most people infact think it is overheating ( even tho it isnt) but i think thats down to it not staying on long enough to get up to temperature.
im not really sure what to suggest as i dont actually have a prommy, mabey there is some saftey cut out on it or somethign that im not aware of. hope someone else can make some suggestions, and i hope you get it sorted.
owen

P.S. is it a standard prommy or is it moded? and how long has it been playing up for? and how long did you have it working before it started playing up ( assumeing you have actually seen it working) just some questions i think people might ask :)

[eviLRuLeZ]

i post some condensor's pics, wait 2 mins :)
what could clean the condensor ?
air on it maybe?
thx a lot :d

its a stock mach II, it worked 2 months ago but it's not working now :(

[masterofpuppets]

RTFM! It explains what the led's mean and has a troubleshooting section. If you still can't find a solution, I will help you (although I have never had problems myself).

[eviLRuLeZ]

lol i know what RTFM means i think :D
READ THE :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ING MANUAL, is that right ? lol

all problems got fixed finally by a friend who works with refrigerant etc..
But the problem NOW is that i have Green Led on (it's flicking) and the others are lit constantly


If i refer to the manual it means that the bimetal is open and that there's condensation.
Is that right..?
Can someone tell me (explain me) or show me what bimetal is please?

thanks :)
