I have a Traulsen 31300 6 half door freezer that cools down to 28F but won't go below.
If your Traulsen 31300 freezer is cooling down to 28°F but not going below that temperature, and the compressor runs continuously except during the defrost cycle, there are a few tests you can perform to help diagnose the issue before considering replacing the expansion valve. Here are some steps to follow:
1. Check Airflow: Ensure that the airflow inside the freezer is not obstructed by any items or ice buildup. Verify that the evaporator coil is clean and not blocked. Poor airflow can lead to inadequate cooling.
2. Temperature Control Setting: Confirm that the temperature control setting on the freezer is correctly set to the desired temperature. Make sure it is not accidentally set too high or too low.
3. Condenser Coil Cleaning: Clean the condenser coils located either at the back or underneath the unit. Dust and debris accumulation on the coils can reduce cooling efficiency. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove any dirt or debris.
4. Condenser Fan Operation: Check if the condenser fan is running properly. The condenser fan helps dissipate heat from the system. Ensure it is spinning freely and not obstructed. If it's not working, it may need to be replaced.
5. Check for Refrigerant Leaks: Perform a thorough inspection of the refrigerant lines and connections for any signs of leaks, such as oil spots, bubbles, or hissing sounds. If a refrigerant leak is suspected, it could be affecting the cooling performance, and repairing the leak and recharging the system may be necessary.
6. Pressure and Temperature Readings: To determine if the expansion valve is the culprit, you may need to take pressure and temperature readings at different points in the refrigeration system using specialized equipment. These readings can help identify any irregularities or inefficiencies in the system.
7. Consult with a Professional: If you're unsure about performing these tests or interpreting the results, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional refrigeration technician. They will have the expertise and necessary tools to accurately diagnose the issue and provide appropriate solutions.
By conducting these tests and inspections, you can gather more information to make an informed decision about replacing the expansion valve or pursuing other potential causes for the inadequate cooling.

Flex ice Machin 404a gas ..how much suction and discharge pressure should be..?
The ideal suction and discharge pressures for a Flex Ice Machine using 404a refrigerant can vary depending on several factors, including the ambient temperature and the load on the machine. However, here are some general guidelines:
Suction pressure: The suction pressure should typically be in the range of 30-45 psi (pounds per square inch) for a 404a refrigerant system. This pressure corresponds to a saturation temperature of around 20-30°F (-6.7 to -1.1°C).
Discharge pressure: The discharge pressure should typically be in the range of 225-250 psi. This pressure corresponds to a saturation temperature of around 100-110°F (37.8 to 43.3°C).
It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and the ideal pressures can vary based on the specific conditions of the system. It's also important to ensure that the pressures are within the manufacturer's recommended range, as pressures that are too high or too low can indicate a problem with the system. If you are experiencing issues with your Flex Ice Machine, it's recommended to consult a qualified technician for assistance.

Can i leave igloo ice machine when it is full
Yes, it is safe to leave an Igloo ice machine when it is full. However, if you plan to leave the ice in the machine for an extended period, it is recommended to transfer the ice to a freezer to prevent melting and refreezing, which can cause the ice to clump together.

My frgidaire chest freezer model # MFC07M3FW2 will not come on after short move. Plugged back in and light will not even come on
If your Frigidaire chest freezer is not turning on after a short move and the light is not even coming on, there may be a few things that could be causing this issue:
- Check the power source: Make sure that the freezer is properly plugged in and the outlet is receiving power. You can try plugging another device into the same outlet to confirm if it's working or not.
- Check the power cord: Check to see if the power cord is damaged or frayed. If it is, it may need to be replaced.
- Check the control board: There may be an issue with the control board of the freezer. Try unplugging the freezer for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This can sometimes reset the control board.
- Check the compressor: If the compressor is not functioning properly, the freezer will not cool. You may need to contact a professional to repair or replace the compressor.
If none of these solutions work, it may be best to contact a professional to diagnose and fix the issue.

My igloo model frw062 stoped cooling
If your igloo model frw062 has stopped cooling, there are a few possible reasons why this might be happening:
- The temperature control could be malfunctioning: If the temperature control is not working properly, it could be causing the refrigerator to run continuously and not cool properly.
- The condenser coils could be dirty: Over time, the condenser coils can become dirty, which can cause them to overheat and reduce the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.
- The compressor could be failing: The compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant and pumping it through the system. If the compressor is failing, it may not be able to do its job effectively, which could result in poor cooling performance.
- The refrigerant could be leaking: If the refrigerant is leaking from the system, the refrigerator will not be able to cool properly.
To fix the issue, you may need to troubleshoot the refrigerator and try to determine the cause of the problem. If you are unable to identify the issue, it may be best to contact a professional for assistance.

Red light flashing on tall freezer, temp down to -6
A flashing red light on a tall freezer indicates that the appliance has detected a temperature alarm, and the temperature inside the freezer has likely dropped below the desired range. A temperature of -6 degrees Celsius is much lower than the recommended temperature for a freezer (-18 degrees Celsius), which can cause frozen food to become damaged or spoiled.
To resolve the issue, you should first check the freezer's manual for troubleshooting tips and recommended actions. In general, you may need to adjust the thermostat to a higher temperature, remove any obstructions to airflow, or defrost the freezer if ice buildup is blocking the evaporator coils. If the issue persists, you should contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the freezer.
