We have a Continental 3R refrigerator on the farm that has stopped cooling. The compressor runs, but the high/low pressure cooling tubes are not hot or cold like they should be. I&#39;m assuming the thermostat isn&#39;t to blame because the fridge is trying to cool, but cannot. I need some tips on more troubleshooting or options for a repair.
