"Fridge/freezer not designed to work if ambient temp10oC"
Just had Indesit/Hotpoint engineer to mend a 6-month-old fridge freezer
that had stopped working. He checked that it did work if power connected directly to compressor, and then advised me that it wasn't designed to work if ambient temp 10oC, adding "But they don't tell you that when buying"! Considering the target temp for a freezer is -18oC, it seems an odd deign point, even though this one is in a garage whose ambient temp was around 5oc. He said he would order a new freezer thermostat (as "it didn't seem to be working properly") and return to replace it. [The previous fridge/freezer had been working for years in same garage.] -- /\/\aurice (Replace "nomail.afraid" by "bcs" to reply by email) |
