Yes, it still runs. Level control on the evap got stuck. Slugged liquid into crankcase of compressor. How can I get it out ? Thanks ,Mojjee

Put a heat source radiating onto the crankcase.
And let the liquid boil off slowly,
Once it is all gone and the sump temp is back to normal...
Away you go!

What he said! With one additional comment.

Make sure the compressor does not start until the sump temperature is warm enough.;)

Yo!
Thanks Iceman.
As they say over here " I forgot to state the Bleeding Obvious!"

For those that might not understand.
A sump full of low pressure liquid could be holding the compressor off on L.P.
Therefore during the course of reheating the L.P. and temp would rise above set-point.
Where the comp could re-start.
Mojee.
What's a salamander?

Just kidding... The link below describes the variety of salamander being used.

PS. The first link would provide very little heat to help with the original problem.:rolleyes::D

Thanks for the explanation Ice.
Can't remember what they are called over here?
I think it may be Space Heaters?
Ideal for the job though whatever they are called.
Cheers Grizzly

Big propane fired heater usually used on construction sites during winter.
