Hi, Has anyone had and solved the rattling fridge slide? I have an Evacool Fridge Mate 55lt tied down to an Evacool slide and it rattles to distraction. I had a thought tonight that I could put some adhesive foam on the inside end of the slide so that when it is pushed home you would have to give it an extra push and that might stop some of the movement. Any thoughts.

Depends wherther it is the slide or a bit of movement in the locking catch that is causing the rattle but putting a bit of tension on the mechanism with some compressible foam etc should sort the problem

We had the same problem, all be it with a different brand.
Got a small piece of rubber and attached to the end of the slide so that there was pressure on it when closed.

That's exactly what I thought, but you said it much better than my attempt.
As you might have read, Brodie from Evacool has made contact and we might have another solution.

Cheers
