Just come back from a trip west of
Cunnamulla , Chescold was working fine on the 240 volt power in the shearers quaters where we were staying for the week . From there I run over to
Currawinya on the Paroo ( 12volt while travelling worked fine ) and set up on gas and again no problem . Caught plenty of Golden perch and decided to keep three fish to eat at home . Packed up and left for NSW running on 12 volt , stopped on the river at Trangie for some more fishing , back to gas , left next day ( again on 12 volt )and arrived home and feeling the back of the fridge freezer I noticed it was not warm (
sign that it was not workin ) Fish still frozen so plugged into 240 volt and it worked
well , I suspected I had blown a fuse in the car , several days later I checked the back of the fridge for warmth and although it was warm it was not as warm as it usually would be , couple days later it had gone cold , set it up on gas and run it for several hours , plates got cool but that was it .
Turned the unit upsdie down and over and over but no good , left it stored upside overnight and tried again but still no good .
Rang a repair
shop in
Sydney as to whether the unit was dead but the fellow I was speaking to wasn't interested to hear of the " symptoms the fridge freezer " had suffered but was adamant that he only had a couple of these units on special in his
shop at this exact minute and I should act fast to secure one . My feeling it is dead and some have told me the fix is around $600 if it is the cooling unit which requires replacing , is there some one who specialises in these , or do I just update .
