Hi there. What you are experiencing is a moisture blockage. Your system has generated water internally over the years. After it runs and cycles, the moisture interacts with oil and refrigerant and forms an ice or oil emulsion blockage in the capillary tube. Can't equalize pressures and therefore can't restart until system has warmed up totally and the blockage subsides. There is only one way to fix this. You will have to replace the filter-drier and also heat up the entire system while the vacuum pump is attached and running. Needs to be "baked out" perferably overnight at about 130°F to remove every trace of moisture from the lines and oil. After that, it can be recharged and it will work fine.

Spiral tap will aim the chip outside, so no chips in the unit. Anyway there will be tramp metal inside from the manufacture, and because of wear naturally, so a chip or two extra no big issue. Changing the oil anyway is good, I have used old R12 and R22 compressors out of fridges that were scrapped as pumps, and they work well to pump down systems to recover the old refrigerant out to do repair, like changing out a condenser. Just had to add in a spare filter drier on inlet and outlet, plus some valves, so the pump could be started under no load, and then cut off the bypass to get suction going.

Thanks! This compressor is a 1/3 HP size which is more difficult to get. They were used in commercial applications such as soft drink coolers and single-door reach-in coolers. Due to their being used in commercial applications mainly, the 1/3 HP size is in demand because that type equipment is repaired and maintained much longer than residential. Normally commercial kit like that would not be scraped unless the compressor is what was wrong. I've faced this before and finding a 1/3 HP working compressor like this can be very frustrating without buying new. If you want to buy a respectable brand new one, it may cost upward of $300 unless you find a one-off good deal on eBay etc. As for the repair videos from the Far East, yes I have seen those. They have been repairing these compressors in that part of the world, for a long time. The original repairers apparently are able to rebuild them and have some reasonable level of success. However, recently, there has been a spate of fake restoration videos made, which only pander for ad revenue on KZread. Those are hurting the reputation of the real guys who actually do this work successfully. We haven't reached the point in the States that this type compressor is that hard to obtain. If, or "once" that happens, then I would also open and rebuild them. At this time, I only cut open and repair the vintage ones which are worth the effort.

I know I’m late to this party, but just had to comment. I’ve watched maybe thousands of DIY KZread videos, and very often I do read many of the comments. I got sick of the anonymous keyboard warriors constantly complaining about this or that. It got to where I was getting really belligerent with some of them, shaming them terribly, especially as they were there just to cause hate and discontent. I got more nice comments from the creators of the videos for that. It just burns my a$$ that our society has degraded to the point that it just seems acceptable to flame people from anonymity, just because you can. Well many of them got the same treatment from me. But that’s not something I wouldn’t have done in person. There’s no excuse for behavior like that, and if it happens around me, I’ll call it out.

Hi Walter. You're correct that R12 systems use mineral oil. This oil was dehydrated during manufacture and will absorb moisture. It will also oxidize if allowed to remain open to air.

Doing an oil change on an refrigerator compressor sounds crazy. Especially when most people don't even change oil in their cars

@davida1hiwaaynet

It may sound crazy, but it's not. The factors at play are different between a fridge compressor and a car engine. The car engine gradually uses up the oil and it gets replaced; and car engines can keep working (albeit poorly) in spite of being in deteriorated condition. Sealed compressors need a charge of perfectly clean oil without contaminants because that same oil has to last the life of the compressor. If the refrigeration system is left open for a long time (lines cut etc) then moisture will be absorbed into the oil. Once the oil absorbs moisture or is contaminated, it needs to be replaced with clean oil before the compressor is once again sealed into a system.

What if bottom of fins get frost and frost up more as it runs and never unices. Dehumidifier is not getting that warm and rest of fins not getting cold.

First off, is this a window unit, or other package unit? Or; is it a split system? It almost sounds like someone put R22 in an R12 unit, or possibly R410A into an R22 unit. Something with a much higher pressure than the compressor is engineered for. In my younger days I did that, putting R22 into an R12 unit. That resulted in the same issue you describe - it would run a few minutes and either, overload trip - or the compressor would actually bog down and stall, then the overload would trip. As Sean mentioned in his comment above, be sure the compressor run capacitor is working correctly. That is necessary for starting and for developing full rated power while running. If that is bad, the compressor will have low power and high current draw. Assuming that isn't the problem, you may have a factory defect of some sort. That would be especially likely considering the unit looks like new, but is 40 years old. It's like every owner who had it in their possession was not able to use it and wear it out.... because it never worked right. Look to be sure the compressor is marked for the refrigerant in use. Also, measure the current draw and see what that looks like as the unit is started up and as it builds up to the point where it is about to trip out or stall. Make sure the Main and Capacitor winding circuits on the compressor motor aren't swapped.

Thanks! As for modern home-use (not commercial) compressors failing more often than vintage designs, that is a fairly debatable subject. However, from what I have seen there have definitely been compromised design concepts used in more recent designs. These stem from two problems. The first is cheapening and cost-cutting. They want to stamp these compressors out with little cost or human intervention and sell them at a maximum profit. There is so much data available now that they can calculate how much they can cheapen a design so that "most" compressors last for the "expected life" of the appliance; without spending any extra on materials and designs which would last indefinitely but cost more. Once the "expected" life (8 to 10 years) has passed, the compressor is guaranteed to be almost worn out. The second very compromised design element is using concepts which are guaranteed to make the compressor more damage-prone; to substantiate energy use / environmental claims. Use of extremely low viscosity oils lower oil shear losses in the compressor and saves energy but at a great risk to the compressor because you have much less engineering margin for oil thinning for various reasons which can happen in a system. Use of very small stator-rotor air gaps in the motors make the motor very slightly more efficient. However, once there are a few instances of accelerated wear, the rotor drags and the compressor is locked up. I made a video on one such bean-counted design. Here is a link to that one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqSi0K6Kfsq7mbQ.html
