Hi All
I have two undercounter fridges, both sharing one condenser.
A few weeks ago, one of the fridges TXV started to freeze heavily. I allowed it to thaw, and restarted the fridge. Within 15 minutes it was a solid ball of ice again. I switched the fridge off and left as it wasn’t a desperate repair. Last week I was called to look at the other freezer on the same condenser and found the exact same thing happening.
I plan to reclaim tomorrow and reluctantly swap out both valves and driers, though it’s going to be a real pig of a job. The valve are preset and cannot be adjusted.
Anything I’m missing? I find it a tad too coincidental that both valves are misbehaving.
Thanks in advance
