new firdge, where to check the motor type....

Hi robertbruce

its a 3-way fridge/freezer 150L

Cheers

, heya Caz...

is your dometic one of the uprights or a chest unit??

there was a bad batch of wacoe three-ways too, the CA-35 3way is under recall atm....

ACC (owned by Electrolux) (or is that vice versa)

We bought in some Snowmaster from South Africa a few years ago and they had a 66W Chinese compressor and that part was exceptionally good.
Shane who owns Snowmaster told me that a certain world wide fridge maker from germany was sniffing at the compressors then.
He said they were sniffing at both ACC and the Chinese ones.
Shane was the person that bought into Aus the 40L and 80L s/s units that became Engel but they put the Sawafuga Swing motor in them and he was with Natioanl Luna.
Now the fridges that we bought in are supplied by a well known gas fitting item and equipment supplyer.
So it could be the Electrolux cum ACC or the Chinese but you would think that if they own ACC they would use it in preference.
Ive had a 40L Snowmaster working 24/7 as a freezer for over three years now.
Even if it does play up Ive plenty of spare compressors for it as we covered our bum and bought in a pallet of them.

whois is ACC? ..
i thought the major supplier was mobicool japan, not the aus distributer....

and it seems the ACC motor is being used many other imports to... sidewinder(fledgling ebay brander) to name one....

also, while i reach for a not-quite-cold-enough-stubby, i wish i was pulling it out of a national luna, they were built to deliver meds in africa, good enough for my stubbies in 32ambiant i reckon...

i thought shane bought in the mobicool thermolec's to fill market gap while its production sibling geared for its jazzy range??

ACC

Hi Flywest,
Engel have never and will not use a danfoss compressor. Engel use the world famous Sawafuju Swing Motor. Why?? Reliable.

Cheers and have a Great Festive Season

Google "Engel" for info re swing motor.

I had a new Engel upright fridge with the "Swing Motor" fitted to the c/van about 10 months ago. It makes a fair bit of noise and at night I sometimes have to turn it off so I can get some sleep.
I contacted Engle and was told it would be an installation problem and to remove it from the van and test it while on the ground or a bench.
If it was still noisy to then contact their service people.
I asked if the removal and test was covered as part of Warranty ?
" No only the work required by service agent if it was still noisy"

I can remove and test it but it`s not a 5 minute job, looks like my only option though as I need to find out while still in warranty.

Cheers and Beers & have a Merry Christmas.
