Gas hob yes or no

My point was you cant fix it yourself like you can with a 3 way.

 

[wildebus]

seriously, they really never break down.
The bits that you can fix on a 3-way you can't fix on a compressor frdge because they don't exist.
just about the only failure likely to happen is a leak of the refrigerant - and that is also just as likely as an ammonia leak on a 3-way.

I've had my compressor fridge freezer for over 12 year and no prods in that time Kev

We must just be unlucky, we've had 3 motors go on our homes ones in the last 18 years, and not old knackered ones, one was only two years old, probably modern ones not as robust.

I'm almost sure I read in a mag or a forum of someone converting a 3 way using a Danfoss or something.

Never had a motor go on our home fridge ever

I have to say our van fridge freeze won't work if it below 10 degrees in the van but when we are away it never is its only when it's standing at home .

I virtually never turn off the Vans Fridge/Freezer no matter the weather so will have been running at close to 0C ambient for sure sometimes. All that happens is if it gets very cold (ambient), the Fridge/Freezer runs a bit colder.

Not heard of that one Jeff, what brand is yours? Mine works so long as its turned on, temperature doesn't seem to affect it, only voltage

It's a waeco 110ltr Neil .What ever the temp is in the van it's pretty much the same in the fridge and freezer.

Weird, that's what mine is as well but never seen it cut out (except when battery dropped too low)

there are different specs of the same fridge designed for different ambient temp ranges. maybe you have different climate class versions?

No big deal as its always above 10degees when we are away in it Neil.

wouldn't suit me have to say.
Might not be away in the van when it is cold (got more sense ) but the fridge/freezer is our overflow cold storage, especially at Christmas time

How do you know it is off Jeff, I only have a single light on the front of mine that's green for on and it went red when I ran battery too low. Is that how you know? If not I suppose mine could have gone off without me knowing?

I've got three Bluetooth sensors one in fridge and one in freezer + one in the van

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Liz says I have no sense at all.

Whatever...

I haven't got any blue teeth to tell the temperature, just blue lips. Then I know it's cold.

Ah, so no indication on the fridge as it comes then? In that case I don't know if mine does the same or not lol

Mine is the MDC110 so may be an older model than yours anyway Jeff.

I don't like it warm when I am in bed so unless its really cold I will either have diesel heater off or set at lowest (4 degrees I think) which gies a room temp around 6 to 10 degrees. Whatever one does its been doing it since I got the van so can't be doing me any harm lol





Had a look at the manual and mine should work in ambient down to -10.

It maybe doing it Neil lol

I'm thinking about buying and converting a 2nd hand refrigerated motor to save me having 3 way fridge.
