Guys I really need some help with this one. We worked our butts off cleaning up a Beverage Air BM23 that was in horrible shape, the only thing it had going for it was that it got cold. My friend and I spent 2 weekends scrubbing, derusting, painting, sealing, and all of the above then plugged it in like it was christmas morning and santa never came. It wont get cold anymore and it is making me sick.
Fans all work fine, the compressor is warm, I keep hearing the click like the relay is trying to kick in the compressor then like 10 seconds later it will kick off and try again.
It is a newer r134 coolant unit
Yesterday I looked back there and got really excited because i found a wire that looked like it got ripped off:
It looked like a ground that came loose but i put a ring terminal back on it and put it back on and it still doesn't get cold. Any idea what this wire goes to? It doesnt seem like it was factory.
Can you guys help me troubleshoot this thing? My fear is that the compressor is done but I want to see if it is a cheaper option first because I am not dumping 500 bucks into this thing.
