@POTUS Trump - "Today, it's my honor to be taking a very historic action to substantially lower costs for consumers, protect hundreds of thousands of jobs, and save Americans well over $2B a year by officially terminating the Biden Administration’s ridiculous regulations imposing costly requirements on refrigerators and air conditioners."

There are many, many regulations like this that MUST be eliminated.

Back in the 1960s to 1990s 1 pound cannisters of R-12 refrigerant were sold everywhere for $!.00 or less.

They were even sold at boat supply stores to power hand held air horns.

We had a few of those “back in the day “. Great fun. We ran ours off of an air compressor. Got a little carried away with the air pressure.

They were quite impressive until they blew up! ☹️

How about changes to 410A home air conditioner refrigerant and R-134 for autos? By way of example, 410A is a terrible refrigerant already. It requires higher operating pressures and is much harder to contain than R-22. It also is less efficient owing to much lower pressure drops between the suction and discharge of the compressor. It also is prone to excess liquid phase requiring a liquid trap that is often overwhelmed under certain conditions allowing liquid into the compressor and leading to either compressor damage or reduced life.

People who have no idea what they are doing need to stay the hell out of regulating people who do.

This is a massive racket of changing these coolants and equipment. It is actually more FRAUD.

There is so much wrong here at home to correct we have absolutely no reason to meddle in the Middle East. We are getting absolutely nowhere in the ME, just wasting time and money. It is more of Trump’s Folly to even think that blocking Iran from nukes for more than a short time without an outright take-over of Iran.

Well, I’m happy for that!

But just asking if anyone knows since this mentioned refrigerators.

I had a very weird thing happen several years back. I was lying in bed, 9am in the morning, day off. No one home but me and I woke up because I heard an old forties phone ringing in the kitchen, incredibly loud. We do not HAVE an old forties phone. It had that kind of dull metal noise of hitting the bell as it made the ringing sound. Very distinct. I walked out to the kitchen to see what the heck it was and the sound was coming from my refrigerator?! Right in front of me like it was coming from the freezer. Did it for another 15 or 20 min, and then stopped. When this happened it stopped and then after another 15 min the phone ringing sound starts again, very loud. Did this all morning, rang for about 15 min without stopping then silent, then started again. My husband was at work. I had no smartphone to capture this, no tape machine.

Well did it again next day, only now the sound move down to the refrigerator area and then over to the cooktop next to the fridge, on the wall behind the cooktop after an hour or so, ringing from the refrigerator area. Did this again following day and my brother happened to call. He did hear it but had no explanation for it.

Does anyone know if there is any way a sound like this can be made from a freezer or a refrigerator or in the wall behind a cooktop? Is there a refrigerator compressor that could do that? I had not any trouble with that refrigerator and it was back years ago and since have gotten a new refrigerator. Never heard it again after those few days of it ‘ringing’.

I wondered if somehow it was the compressor or something to do with the refrigerator. Later on, years later when I bought a new fridge I asked the guy installing the new one, he said nothing in any refrigerator makes a noise like an old phone and acted like I was maybe a little off 😆 I’m not off, lol, that really happened.

For my most recent mini-split AC purchase last year, I had to look everywhere and pay a little more to get a 410A unit. I don’t want to deal with any of the newer stuff & 410A is readily available & will probably be around for awhile.

The current refrigerants are both flammable and toxic to humans. Freon was neither. Plus refrigerators today are full of imported parts that have short lifespan.

The kill switch, the renumbering of highway exits, changing the clocks. There are many more things I wish Trump would fix.
