Regassing a fridge ?

Post by **ringo** » 19 Aug 2007, 21:16

Is it possible ? Do people do it ? Who ?

I took my fridge out, turned it upside down and shook it around a bit and the fridge worked really well for a week - now its not working again.

I need to re-gas it or get a new fridge.....

Thanks

Ringo

If you have a fridge which works off more than one power source (eg gas and 12 volt) you cannot get it re gassed,it is a sealed system.
You can get a new cooling unit (the pipework)for some electrolux models , normally about half the price of a new fridge.

If your fridge runs on 12 volts only, it will be a compressor type of fridge and air con or refidgeration people may be able to regass it.

I reckon £350 for a new fridge ? Still, it will be worth it

Thanks dudes

That's odd ... a colleague with a C****** had his done and that's a 3-way. Think it's Brimington C******s or sumatt similar ... give em a ring old chap.
