Grace is finnally chilly again!

Thanks for all the compliments Guy's!

There was no way I couldn't fix her. After all she's Emma's sister ! LOL

If it wasn't for a friend of mine it wouldn't have happened. He works on refrigeration and has all the tools. It couldn't be done without the right gauges, plus R-12.

There really isn't a conversion per say. All the lines stay the same, same refrigerate. Just added a drier.

The compressor is made by Copeland, 1/4 hp. About 150.00. It's the tools that are the problem, plus the knowledge. If you don't do it properly you'll blow it up.

I recommend that you have someone help you that knows what their doing.

The thing is the compressor was fine, it was the relay that was bad. After all the time I spent looking for parts the first time it wasn't worth it to do again. Now if something happens at least it can be fixed without pulling my hair out.

I'll post pic's soon of the whole kitchen. It's almost done. ( no comment Veg! )

Ben, she's a 56

Woo Hoo

Way to go Bethann. Ain't it a blessing to have knowledgable friends. Just love that turquoise. Another beautiful vintage appliance saved. Can't wait to see pictures of those kitchens. It's been awhile, you're going to have to repost pictures of your babies and their names.

Lovely Kitchen

What a beautiful Kitchen you have! Love that Fridge. I really like the flooring. Ours needs to be replaced, and I would like do it like your, or Roberts. The cheap tiles we put down five year ago, look like they are 10 years old.

Wow - that's devotion! I get rid of appliances because the handle is scratched, but that explains why I'm single too ;-)

Beautiful job, love that color!
