[C320-list] Refrigeration Diagnostics Assistance (Ken McCrimmon)

[Cliff Lee]

Our neighbor was troubleshooting their Catalina last year and ended up
concluding their module was shot after trying to recharge refrigerant,
etc..  They replaced the module and it worked perfectly.

On a side note, I replaced our Domenic (Adler Barbour) refrigeration system
(compressor, condenser, evaporator, etc) "in kind" this spring based on the
excellent advice from this group.  The project went very well and rather
easily.  I had ordered the exact replacement evaporator box because I did
not want to drill any new holes in the box.  That was fine - the only issue
was that the screws they provided had heads that were smaller than the
holes in the evaporator!  No problem, just be prepared to buy 4 washers to
make them fit.
