How do you convert a refrigerator compressor to an air compressor?
It's much easier than you think, all you need is some tools and some electrical experience. First of all you need to take off the compressor and check the electrical wires, modify them in order to be able to just plug them in AC outlet, be careful, don't take out any piece, there's a capacitor that should stay on one wire in order to make going easier, when you're done, plug it and check all pipes coming out of the compressor, you need to find two pipes, one is pumping air and the other is vacuum ( close it with wet finger it should feel like sticky ) then, when you find these two pipes, close all the others ( if there is ) by bending or any other way, then just attach a high pressure plastic tube to the pumping pipe and done.

How do you find the age of a GE refrigerator?
How to Determine the Age or Manufacture Date of a GE Appliance
The manufacturing date and year is coded into the serial number of the appliance. Our serial numbers begin with two letters. The first letter identifies the month and the second letter identifies the year. The corresponding letters, months, and years are below. For example, if the serial number begins with the letters "FJ," the appliance was made in March of 1952.

How do you clean lint from a refrigerator motor?
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Refrigerators and air conditioners are heat pumps. They move heat from one place to a different place. They use a working fluid with a low boiling point to do this, e.g. hydrofluorocarbons like HF3C. This working fluid is compressed by a compressor until it liquifies. However it also becomes hot, so the compressed liquid is passed through radiator coils to dispose of the unwanted heat (typically on the back of a refrigerator or the outside part of an air conditioner). The liquid working fluid, now at about room temperature, passes through a small hole as it enters the cooling coils which are at low pressure. The working fluid evaporates inside the cooling coils, reducing their temperature. The gaseous working fluid is then compressed back to liquid by the compressor and the cycle continues.
What is the average wattage a freezer uses?
Voltage X amps = wats 120 volt freezer drawing 2 amps is 240 watts running note it can take up to 3 to 4 times that to start.
you have rla run load amps
then you have LRA Lock rotor amps (what it takes to start)
What are some disadvantanges of refrigeration?
Freezer burn? BoNgWiZarD: Refrigeration uses specialised equipment (which can be quite expensive in some countries) and can use a rather substantial amount of energy. Also, the refrigerants can be somewhat harmful to the environment (modern gases contribute to mainly to the greenhouse effect and not ozone depletion as did older refrigerants)
