  1. That thing is probably a lot older than you think, I bet it came from Roman times...

    I have a friend that used to work on binary load lifters which are very similar to evaporators. You want me to call him.

    (he a bit of an odd duck)

    Check out YouTube. You can find information on just about anything there if you look hard enough.

    I half-ass remember this happening to ours.
    There was a little button in back that popped to protect the compressor.
    The reason it popped, the condenser coil which is in front down by the floor, (it has a snap off plastic cover so you can get to it) was blocked with dust and some dog hair. There's a fan behind it that draws air through it. I just hit it with the little narrow vacuum attachment and got as much as I could (dry), and then used a spray bottle and sprayed hot water/dish-soap all over it and then sucked that up with a shop-vac using that same attachment. Cleaned it perfect. Now I just pop that cover off every few months and run the vacuum over it real quick. I had no idea its a regular maintenance kind of thing.

    this is why your electric bill is so high, you likely have a leak and comp is running non-stop
