Fellow brewers,
for a number of years I've had good service from my glycol chiller. Recently it spent a few weeks turned off while I was away, and when turned back on the compressor ran constantly and the temperature of the glycol stayed at ambient.
I spoke to a fridgie on the phone (just a local company, not someone I know) and he suggested about $750 for a regas and $1500 if it needed a new compressor h34r:
I'd love to get this beastie working again, but those prices are a bit off-putting. Any heads up about where I might go or how I might pinpoint the problem?
cheers, Arnie
PS. Alternatively, anyone got one that is surplus to requirements?
