Fridge ventilation

Shane
50 deg only .....and the rest
The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes. The temperature inside the vehicle can reach around 73°C, but the dog may be dead by the time the temperature reaches 55°C. The animal will suffer horribly in its last minutes.

But not the fridge

Dunno how that happened m must be the little o they use for the temp, on both places it added a 1 , should be 73 and 55

Doug,

You're spot on with the diagnosis of the dog in the closed car on a hot day - not a very nice way to go.

While we're on 'dog safety' can you put the safety chain on the swing for Dusty! - hate to see your little mate go 'splat'! :-)

get as high as 50 deg in seconds was what was supposed to say

as previously stated as long as fridge vents are clear no problems. i have had mine for a long time now and (touch wood) it runs like a dream.

i have a fridge cover on mine and keeps it way cooler than before. even if i turn it off and leave it in the sun in the car for a couple hours in december/january it remains nice and cool. they are really worth the money. i only bought mine as i got it half price, but after using it i would not be without one again.

my brother-in-law ran one of those 12v extension leads you can buy on his and stuffed the fridge up. i cannot remember the details and cannot find my manual, but apparently it is something waeco mention will void your warranty. lucky for him (as he is a tinny b@57@4d and waeco fixed it for him free of charge.

cheers
