Thread: Skope Fridge

Is the evaporator fan(the one inside the fridge)running?
Is the evaporator coil iced up? If it is and the fan inside is running turn off the fridge, defrost the coil and turn it on again.
Is the condenser coil clean and fan running(these are on the outside of the fridge)?
If all of the above are working as they should it could be:
The thermostat(older style skope) or temperature controller have an issue,
You have a leak that needs fixing then the unit needs regassing
The compressor has an issue.

Pretty much bang on.
It’s almost always the evaporator coil leaking. If you take the top lid off, you’ll see the top few passes are covered in ice but the return pipe to the compressor is warm.
