I got a first edition waeco FF35 or whatever it was. I have been thinking now perhaps it should go in for a service, if anything a clean up of dust off the tubes. If i ask waeco i suppose like any big company they will go yes, so i'd thought i'd ask the forumites. I am not having any performance problems with it (or if i am i can't tell just like you can't tell you need an oil change lest you look at the km's or the oil) but then again my domestic fridge doesn't get serviced. anyhow, a question and am genuinely interested in answers.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

My old motto
If it aint f*&ked - don't f*&k with it.
Blowing the dust out is a good idea.

When I finished a trip through the Kimberleys and arrived back in
Broome I went to a local servo (they used to be known as 'service stations' but that's just a historic thought now, many of you won't even remember the guy would come out to fill the
tank an clean the front window) and blew the red dust outa everything, yes, I took the fridge out of the vehicle and removed that red dust with compressed air.

if it has a fan forced condenser then it might need blowing out to get rid of any dust....and thats all......
if doing it yourself do not use too high a pressure which could damage the fins by bending them over....if pressure is high get nozzle back from fins....if you do bend then go to heatcraft or actrol and buy a fincomb to straighten them out

Also be wary of blowing the fridge's fan with compressed air- I have shagged the bearings in many a computer fan by doing this, and dick smith chrages a pretty penny for replacements.

I blew the dust out of
mine after a
Birdsville trek (fridge was only 6 months old). I couldn't believe the dust which came out! Good idea to get rid of the dust purely for a heating concern of the motor I guess.
