Looking forward to what the tech says. Fingers Crossed for you JoeC
What a bummer! I've been following this thread too, and I have a feeling there's going to be a new freezer purchase in Joe's future unfortunately...
Cut a hole in the side and install a room AC
Best and cheapest idea right there.
Cut a hole in the side and install a room AC
Weld up a new piece? From the sound of it, he should be able to just weld over the hole. Or is he using a new piece with the idea that any metal shards will be removed with the old piece?
His idea was to cut out the area around the hole and weld a new piece in place - i believe to also reduce the chances of the metal shards.
I'm debating what to do. This is wacky. Back to brewing... hopefully it'll mellow me out.
Newbie here, but I'm not so sure....
Even the best room A/C is meant to maintain at most a 40°F differential between the hot and cold sides....(I believe.....)
Assuming your house is at 75°F, that means the coldest you can get is 35°F (Great! no problem!)....but that's assuming it's running at peak efficiency....
Not saying it won't work, I'd just do some research to see if a small unit could maintain the temps you want....
they charge 145 an hour.... I'm already out 145 today.
Joe for $500-700 to fix that freezer you can buy 2 magic chefs 7.2 brand new from home depot and still have money left over. I think there about $200 a piece.
To add some positive things to this thread, congrats on the new condo... I'm sure your happy as hell to get out of that house. And on the plus side you qualify for the $7-$8k tax credit right? I'm sure that could buy you a nice kegerator if you can wait a few more months.
The condo is more of an investment - currently I'm staying in CT indefinitely
So how goes Round 2 planning?
