[C320-list] Reefer Problems

[Henry LeSieur]

Our Adler/Barbour reefer is 11 years old. It is barely cooling, even at the highest setting. I had a refrigeration mechanic check it out recently. The freon levels are normal and it has not lost any since I had it recharged 3 years ago. The only problem we could find was the positioning of the unit. It was installed up against the port locker bulkhead with approximately 1/2 inch of space for air circulation. I was able to move it aft approximately 3 more inches. There has been no discernable improvement in performance.
   
  On previous threads I have read about a replacement part that others have purchased to improve the performance of the reefer. It might have been referred to as a "controller" but I'm not sure.
   
  Perhaps someone knows something about what I'm referring to. Any assistance or information would be greatly appreciated.
