Jman888 Moderator January 29, 2013 Share January 29, 2013 When I buy fridge, I look for one with automatic ice maker. My current Toshiba has the ice maker n plasma function. can cook food on it own or not or recommend some dishes base on what the ingredient INSIDE it [rolleyes] ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckbuild 6th Gear January 29, 2013 Share January 29, 2013 Just to share, my parents change their fridge from a <300 liter to a >500 liter inverter type, total electricity bill save over 35%. Maybe you should go help your MIL look for a new fridge. More space and save money as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotamp 3rd Gear January 29, 2013 Share January 29, 2013 last time i also have similar problem, felt that the fridge is no longer cold, i went to get a fridge thermometer and attached it into the inner food compartment.... as long as the temperature readings is below 5 degree celcius the food is in the " safe zone" , i adjust the thermostat till it is about 3-4 on average degrees . very difficult for human to judge what is cold or not cold......if you have a thermometer and after adjusting also cannot get below 5 degree better get a new one.

Happily1986 5th Gear January 29, 2013 Share January 29, 2013 Most fridges even 12 years ago are likely to be of the frost free variety. There are 3 types 1. manual defrost 2. cycle defrost 3. frost freee The heater is an important element of the fridge although it serves an ancillary function, which is to defrost and melt ice that will otherwise clog and reduce the thermal transfer efficiency of the evaporator coil. So one place to look is to check whether the heater is malfunctioning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celicar Turbocharged January 29, 2013 Share January 29, 2013 my air con compressor not cold 2 weeks ago, cost me $1800 [:(] think put a fridge inside cheaper [laugh] You spent $1800 to replace a compressor?!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocus Turbocharged January 29, 2013 Share January 29, 2013 (edited) i tot its like car air con compressor.... can pump gas one.... Got Gas to top up one...esp the older fridge. Just get a fridge specialist to check....top up gas is cheap but if kena major issue like compressor spoil, think it's more worth to buy a new fridge than to repair the compressor...

TVT Supercharged January 29, 2013 Share January 29, 2013 See if can repair first...if not then up-lorry and buy a new one. Problem is : how to find a trusty repairman to come to check ? Already 12 years this fridge - your MIL already earn back every cent of its worth liao...so if up-lorry also no loss lah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High_octane 1st Gear January 29, 2013 Share January 29, 2013 Got Gas to top up one...esp the older fridge. Just get a aircon specialist to check....top up gas is cheap but if kena major issue like compressor spoil, think it's more worth to buy a new fridge than to repair the compressor... Actually wrong perception. Air-cons, fridges are all closed loop system. The gas remains in the system and is not suppose to leak out. Don't think of it like fuel in your car. If you need to top-up, it means there is a leak somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
