I have the tray and tube. The problem is water dripping from the roof.

Refrigerator roof/freezer floor has water dripping from it. Temp in fridge is 37. Evaporator has frost. It's filling the bottom of my fridge! The only drain is below the evap. 50s model Hotpoint fridge/freezer single door.

I'm looking for any info on aligning the freezer door on my hotpoint Customline single door. It sags. I can push it up, and it's good for a while, but it isn't straight and will sag back down. I have to set the catch all the way forward and loosen the latch in order to close it. I've tried...

Cool fridge!!

Fridge is still rocking at 37*. Just had to turn the dial up to 8. Bought a nice new thermometer for the fridge. Things are looking good on this item. On to my other fridge problems! Thanks guys!

I have tried to shim and realign that freezer door, but it just sags anyway. I've taken It apart and fiddled with the latch, but I just can't get it straight. When I go in and replace the interior trim, I'll have another go at it.

I unplugged to defrost when I did it. The freezer is working well, albeit already very frosty. I cannot get the freezer door to align worth a flip. But I think that's a separate post/issue. I have a few "issues", haha!

Still at 37* as of this AM. I'm thinking that isn't quite cold enough. I plan to replace the door seal, but I may replace this cold control as well. It's definitely performing better than my old thermometer was telling me!

I'm doing the water trick with the meat thermo and the digital thermo. I've tossed the fridge thermometer in the bin. Currently at 37 at #7 on the wheel. Hopefully it's closer to 32 by morning. But the cold control seems to be doing its job, at least somewhat. I scrubbed the tube because it...

With the two leads tied together, it was low 30s at 12 hours and the evaporator was frosted over big time. Also found out at that point my thermometer was off by a decent amount. Ran three thermos (refrigerator hanger thermostat, meat thermo, and a digital thermo). Two were dead on at 32, one...

I found some Mars part numbers to try. I have the two leads tied together. I'll let it run for a few hours and check the temp.

How safe do you think that is? I'm just closing the switch, right? Here it is

I've seen a Ranco one for about $120 that is supposed to be the one to get, but beyond that I dont know much. Guess I could pull it out to see. But again, no way to really test it other than what we've done here?

Good question. I don't think this model has one. The condenser is mounted to the back, and I don't see a fan anywhere back there. I would have to maybe check underneath to see if there is one there perhaps.

Set to 1, temps rose to 55* after 24hrs. Set to 8, no real change. So I'm thinking it's the capillary tube or temp control. Besides tapping on it, is there any way to test it? Or temp repair it? Would heating the cap tube up with a torch maybe fix a clog? Could I chop the end and rebraze?
