The Lemon Dry Box (Part 4)

As I glanced up to see where all this water was coming from I noticed a small iceberg formation on the top of the compressor.  The service valve (which I had no idea at the time it was a service valve) was encased in ice.  Had I possessed the knowledge that I have now (back then) I would have avoided this iceberg situation; but oh no, not me!  This box was going to go down like the Titanic.  Innovative Technology, Inc. was nice enough to dispatch a refrigeration repairman to take a look.  Morris (heating and cooling?) stopped by and the repairman quickly decided the main problem was insufficient insulation.  His solution, wrap everything with PU foam insulation (you can see parts of this which I hadn’t scrapped off in the previous blog post picture).  This appeared to fix most of the problems; however, as I would soon learn later it did nothing but help cover up a large slew of existing problems (i.e. manufacturer defects).
