the compressor in my evercool has just died quote approx $850-$900 to replace hence i am looking a repurchasing fridge.fridge is 4/5 years old
The repair agencysaid that waco's are exchanged during warrenty if needing repairs but parts are not supplied when warrenty runs out havent heard this before,also he states virtually all fridges other than engel basically use the same danfoss compressor,engels is superior so buy engel basically.Question can i purchase compressor anywhere and install it or is it not worthwhile.Have looked up fridgeshops site for prices on factory seconds etc but they only seem to have waco brand,anywhere else to try?? Any help appreciated thankyou.

I'll call BS on that . . .
It is WIDELY acknowledged that Danfoss make excellent compressors.
It is also known that engel have their own issues with the swing motor in their fridges.
Its like the old , Nissan V Yota , or Diesel V Petrol debate.
Engel make a fine fridge. Plenty of happy customers , but , so do , EvaKool, Waeco , Reefer , Trailblazer etc etc etc.
I would suggest these days , you dont buy a bad fridge from the big players , its ALL about personal requirements , and . . . budget.
I know of a quite a few people who have bought Waeco's from Frdigeshop , and extremely happy with their purchases , ESPECIALLY the price . . .

I bought an Waeco FF70 for $550.00 from the Fridgeshop, had 1 issue with it, sent it away to be fixed under warranty, and it returned following week fixed.
Its a superseded model, who cares, the price was good with 12 months warranty,
but for the quote you have been given, you can add a bit more and get a good fridge from them.
So far im happy.....
