Bought the S/H Autofridge

Thanks Crazie,

Now, I wonder where I can get a fridge slide.....Oh I know....Do you want the measurements in imperial or metric?

BTW, how did you go with the crackle in the UHF?

Hi Rod,

It didn't come with a transformer but I just used a power supply out of an old computer I had in the shed. It puts out 8A, is fan cooled and cost me a Hella socket! I tried a 5A CB supply but it wasn't enough to kick over the compressor.

Your Two-Zone idea is interesting. I was told about putting in a piece of ply to divide the top from the bottom so there was a freezer section. How is your extender attached to the fridge? Have you noticed whether the compressor runs a lot more?

Adrian

Adrian,
Yep I tried the ply divide, wasn't impressed. The extended section is not attached to the fridge. It is attached via alum. angle screwed to 25mm spacer timber on the inside of the protective ply box that the fridge sits in. A rubber seal is between the top of the fridge and extended section. The lid of the fridge is hindged/latched on top of the extended section. I dare say the compressor does run more, it doesn't really worry me as when out bush I turn the fridge off each night. When at home the fridge is in the shed running 24/7.

The control switch (underneath the panel) has as tiny little screw that you can adjust to decrease/increase the temperature. Ya need to do this a little bit at a time and leave overnight to see the difference and re adjust.

I can email some pictures of the extension/box if you would like to provide an email address.

See ya

Rod,

Photos would be great as I am thinking about a storage system so all ideas are welcome.

Email address (with the DOTs and AT fixed of course) is adrianDOTpanowATbigpondDOTcom.

Thanks,
