A/C modified: ETR-switch from Maytag

I'm using the MB service manual terminology, instead of WorldPac, to descibe a substitute for the ETR-switch on 123 and early 126(81-85). The one that disconnects the compressor when the evaporator nears freezing.

The problem with many ETR is that it's set way too high thru over-caution by MB or just old age on our cars; 38ºF is not uncommon. While I was adjusting my ETR (which is a pain to do) I noticed the similarity of the RANCO (a major manufacturer in controls) ETR from Mercedes with the General Electric thermostat I'd just replaced in my refrigerator.

Pic #1. Ranco ETR from Mercedes (difficult to adjust, done by very few)

Pic#3. General Electric ADJUSTABLE thermostat (ne. ETR )
