G'day all,
Just got back from 2 beautiful weeks in Jervis Bay.
The only dissapointing thing was the performance or lack thereof of my 3-way fridge. This is the $399 job from Repco, which is distributed by Brown and
Watson (Narva).
Prior to setting out, I tested it at
home on 240v and it worked a treat. Yes, I know I should have also tested it on gas but assumed the same or better performance.
On site, couldn't get the inside temp less than 10C and was often 18C. Outside temp was only mid-20's and we left it without opening for long periods.
Another thing,
the pilot light would often go out, to the extent that I was checking it every 30 minutes to make sure it was still on.
In the end, gave up and put ice in it and made a nice (if small) esky.
Anyone else using this fridge had similar or better experience? Anything to
check or will I ring Repco and warn them than and angry, thirsty man is coming in for a refund.
Cheers all and hope your hols were good.
Smocky.
