Starting Device Electronic Unit Bd35f / Bd50f 12-24v 101n0212 Replaces: 101n0210 / 101n0220 / 101n0230 / 101n0240 / 101n0250 / 101n0260

Was getting a Unit Short Cycling error on my Adler Barbour resulting in no refrigeration. Replaced its 101n0212 controller with this one and now all is well. The original controller lasted about 8 years. Will be interesting to see how long this one lasts.

I have had an Adler/Barbour Cold Machine CU100 that has been intermittently working, on and off, all year. When it does work, it is great. Full frost. When it failed, the LEDs would flash 3 times (over current on start). All diagnostics pointed to swapping out the compressor. However, I could not get a mechanic to come to the boat even though I acknowledged that I was ready to pay $1000 or more for them to replace the compressor and recharge the system. No luck. Fridge mechanics are too busy with bigger jobs, I guess. I was all ready to teach myself to repair/rebuild the entire compressor heat pump system. However, as I researched further, several people said that 75% of the issues are the controller. So I bought this and it worked. It is not the controller in the pictures but rather the newer version (101N0212), as per the description, which is the replacement/upgraded version for the older 101N0210. Apparently the older version overheated too easily but mine, which has never left San Francisco Bay, lasted 20 years. It’s all good, man (as Jimmy McGill would say). It took about a week to come UPS from the east coast but it arrived as expected. It took about 10minutes to install.

Was what I needed and worked fine. Did have a part number change up, which I didn't find till I recieved the part.

Thanks

Replaced defective danfoss 101n0210 with this that works. Does not have heat sink that the danfoss unit has and might not work as well in high ambient heat condition.

Mine was easy to determine that this was the bad component. When I plugged it in it smoked. If that’s not the case just ring out the compressor. directions on you tube, and check the voltage supply coming in. If Everything is right then this is your problem. Direct fit Direct replacement. Five minutes for the testing two minutes worth of installing my new refrigerator was nearly $1400. So I fix the old one. Works great.

Did not solve problem

The most common failure for boat refrigeration systems is this expensive little computer. You'd think they would design it differently knowing that it's extremely vulnerable to harsh boat conditions, including any moisture at all.Of course, if they made the thing bulletproof I wouldn't be here forking over $260+ buckaroos!
