I have a turbo air freezer it will turn on an hit temp then turn off after that the compressor will turn on and off for only for a few seconds. If I unplug it and leave it set awhile it will run.

Thermostat. An incorrectly adjusted thermostat can cause the freezer's compressor to start and kick off. ... The inside temperature of the freezer determines when the thermostat sends the signal to power the compressor. Set the thermostat to a lower setting to see if the compressor starts and then stays on.

Turbo air freezer m3 f72 cools ok but will not stop cooling set to highest temperature , shows 10 deg F and keeps cooling

If it is a freezer, it should reach at least 0 degrees before turning off. I sounds like a thermostat issue. I would look at that first since it is set on it's highest setting and not shutting down. Thanks

Turbo air freezer M3 does not stop cooling shows 0 deg set to highest setting I have replaced control board

Fridge/freezer freezing up-and no fanor air circulation: first check the defrost terminator thermostat it may have gone out. Thus not allowing the heating element to melt the ice.? AT TIMES The fan usually stops workingAND CAN MAKE FUNNY NOISES AS WELLdue to ice obstruction when the defrost terminator has gone out and u get ice build up? u can check the terminator with a multi meter for continuity but do not check at room temperature. stick the terminator in cup of ice water for 20 minutes then check it for continuity, should be closed when cold and open at room temperature. May also need to check thedefrost timer,The defrost timer is usually found behind the front grill "toe kick" of the refrigerator.Or in the fridge compartment near middle top section. u can get by and test manually by placing a small screw driver into the tiny slot or hole underneath the timer and turn slowly clockwise till u hear 1 click. this will engageurdefrost cycle in about 15 minutes u should be able to come back and feel the heat in freezer as it melts the ice providingurterminator is not bad? Another way to test it is with a multi meter. Remove timer it from fridge and you will see 4 prongs numbered 2,1,4,3 in that order. Placeurmeter prong on prong 1 & 3 (if your fridge has a capacitor wired in series with the windings, then u check for micro fares rather than OHMS) If u cannot confirm this test, still try the next. Takeurmeter prong and connect to prong 1 & 4, it should read resistance or ohms ( closed) now remove prongs and place on prong 1 & 2, this should now read infinity or open (no ohms) now take a small screwdriver place it in the tiny hole or slot under the timer. Turn it clockwise slowly till u hear 1 click. Nowur1& 2 should read closed ( showing ohms or resistance) now place meter prongs on 1 & 4 and you it should now show open ( or no resistance - no ohms) this is how u knowurtimer is good, Remember when testing for ohms ADJUST meter to use a high ohms rating in the thousands as the resistance is very high in OHMS. And adjusting to low ohms rating may give a false reading or not show the proper resistance.. Another item to check with a meter is theheating elementitself. Located under the evaporator coils. It should show continuity or resistance OHMS WHEN TESTED AT BOTH ENDS OF THE PRONGS . Lastly check thecold control thermostatwith a meter for both OHMS and volts ( VOLTS is a live test with fridge plugged in so be careful) It must show 110 volts. An open or thermostat that reads infinity will not allow the proper cooling and defrosting cycles to operate and may in fact stop anything from happening as if there is no power to the unit? ALSO CHECK THE AIR FLOW VENT SYSTEMand THERMISTORSAt times it can get stuck to far closed or open. Some units feature a digital electric adjusting vent system while others are manually set. Check for any ice build up or other obstruction in the vent damper, see if u can manually open or close it. Some times when u have the settings set to the highest it closes off one area while allowing to much cold air flow to the other area! THERMISTORS in the freezer and fridge section for continuity OHMS and for amount of OHMS current being putout. In most models around 1300( give or take 150 ohms) ohms is required https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmdsBkO46dk defrost therm.

I have a Turbo Air TGF-9F, a single compartment top slide freezer. Picture a rectangle, the right side keeps frozen (frost on the walls) and left is room temp not trying to get cold. Any Solutions?

Could be blocked by ice formation. Leave switched off for a few hours with the door open to allow to defrost.

Turbo air maximum ref MSR-49NM goes to minus freezing temps everything has been cleaned unplugged for 24 hours. worked for 2 weeks went to minus temps again last night

In generic terms, it is either the temperature controller or the sensor that reads the temp and sends that to the controller. Something is no telling the compressor to turn off.

M3 turbo air freezer. M3F24-1 temp on display is not temp of box

this could be a bad temp sensor or lack of proper air flow. Make sure the evap fan runs when it's supposed to be running. Also make sure the evap is not freezing up. all these items can cause what you are describing.

Turbo air freezer won't cool. Capacitor is good, relay kicks in and stays on and fans run constantly. Cleaned coils also, unit is only 1 tr old. Any ideas for help..??

I suggest a service call under warranty as 1 year would still be in the warranty period. call a service technician to check it out otherwise.

How to test t stat on tb-5r

***Take the sensors loose and put them in a cup of ice water, then take your ohm meter and measure the resistance of the sensors. . They both should measure around 29,000 - 31, 000 ohms -If you are having temperature fluctuations or your display temp does not match actual box temp, then first try and then test the sensors. -If you sensors are ok then check that all the fans work...ie. evap fans, condenser fan, also there is another fan in the bottom that helps air circulation around the compressor compartment. -Check that the condenser is clean and that nothing in the environent could be affecting the unit. **Only after you check all these things any any other related things would would I deem the main control board to be bad. **No offense everyone, but more often than not people want to change the main control board first and it is generally not the problem. Don't change the most expensive part first if you're not entirely sure it is the problem! :) lol I hope this was helpfu. Turbo Air also has a tech support 310-900-1078 Anonymous

2 of 3 sliding doors don`t close on tgm-69r

there is a string and a weight on the inside of each door. if you cannot find the string it may be broken. lift and remove the door from the unit, then remove two screws from both top sides of the door and the top of the door itself will come off. you can then lean the door over, the weight should slide out.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

Did not cold

Refers have lots of parts to make them cool. Most notably compressor. Does it run? If so refrigerant could be at issue or air flow.
