Reefer Fridge

Ashley
My understanding is that Reefer are no more; Kaput.
Steve's advice above is quite relevant.

Matt,

can i ask you a question pls.

I just got a new small waeco, i have a large Engel, but never ran a waeco compressor fridge before, and this one whilst it works very well and cuts out ok, is making that gurgling sound as the refrigerant gets around.

is this normal in a waeco, or should i be concerned?

Thanks

Ron (sorry to hijack thread a bit)

Hi Ron,
Not sure as I have never touched a waeco. I have only worked on engel's(25 year old ones that need new compressors and the like). And I have a evacool. If it is cooling alright and pulling down to temp quickly there is probly nothing to worry about. Some fridges do that. But if its not getting cols and the compressor is running constantly then I would start to worry. Hope this helps
Matt

Matt,

thanks for that. Its working very well indeed actually, and the sound is almost gone.

I'm a tech myself, not fridge tech though, but cant think on any 'running in' theory to account for this? So not sure why it would gurgle when new and improve with use, but it seems to be following that trend.

Put it on max, and it pulled down to an impressive -27deg c, seems a punchy little unit, wonder how it will go on reliability over time???

I still simply adore my 40ltr Engel, its just too big for short day trips etc, and I thought the Engel offering in this size was too small (13ltr) so I figured give Waeco a go, not dissappointed so far. Also I have the battery capacity and solar to run both on a bigger trip, so now can have fridge and freezer.

Rgds
