hi.
electrolux fridge in 2000 van. probably original.
last year its seemed to stop working well but this was on gas. cleaned out burner and it seemed to get a bit better but it was the end of the holiday. used it a few time since and seemed to be ok.
just before I left last week for Netherlands, i fitted a temp gauge (knowledge is a worry not power )and it does not cope during the day.
admittedly we have 27c at most times and it has been hot at night but it does come down to 3c overnight.
so.
ice box keeps things frozen and will cool beer.
fridge does not get below 10c during day and beer and wine too warm
I have tried all three energy sources and no difference.
mainly on 240v. lots of heat coming from top vent
adding small fan to bottom vent seems to help but not much.
I will buy my way out of this if necessary as I'm here for another 2 weeks and warm wine and beer will cost more than a new fridge due to divorce costs
from my googling it looks like it could be a fridge rolly poly tomorrow but my question is, has anyone made it stop working completely by doing this?
I could go to a Decathlon and by a small 240v compressor fridge to run as I'm not intending to move around without hook up but it's better than nothing!
any suggestions/ questions greatly appreciated.
also if someone knows a good fridge engineer near Utecht then please let me know..
