Default GE tbx18jatjrwh is almost working..

It seems to be running almost perfectly normal. Just like it always has.
Maybe the noise is not as loud.?. Due to the good cleaning of dust bunnies..?.

The only thing odd, is the slightly higher temps..
Now that we have the vent dumping more cold air from the freezer,
the top left side shelf is about 38F, so we've moved the milk to the left side.
Else were, it's a bit cooler, but still in the low 40s..
On the downside of the full-vent setting, the freezer temp are no longer
on the low -negative range, but 8 to 10 degrees warmer. -5 is now 5F..

I guess the freezer temp is fine-tuned by dumping it's cold down below,
with a simple vent.?..

It almost seems like the main temperature control has lost some of it's range. At the low end..

I think we are going to skip the road trip and just watch this thing for a few days..

I wonder if there is a leak that can be detected with the new 'Freon Leak detector'?
Maybe I should pull the back cover off and try some snooping for a leak.?.
