My aged Adler-Barbour seems to run all the time, and one of the copper tubes (about 10 feet long) leading from the compressor to the cold plate is coated with a thick layer of frost.
The inside of the fridge itself is just about the right temperature...not too hot and not too cold, so
I'm thinking it's not the thermostat making it run all the time.
I'm not sure how much insulation there is, but the lids are in good shape and from the starboard cockpit locker I can see that a P.O. had added some foam insulation outboard of the box. Should the coolant line be so cold?
Thanks for any thoughts,
