hi irishkeet

where about in herts did you go? i took mine somewhere around Welham Green area (GT Towing) which is fairly close from where I live in north London.

I woke up this morning and decided to buy the new fridge and bought it and then read the comments posted.....

Old models have scored! :rollin

I've canceled the order now and i'm ready for another shot.... third time lucky (i hope) :ok

I have a fridge question......I have a small fridge in the garage that I was hoping to sell. It says RM212 f on the plaque inside...
Image; the instructions in wiki indicate that this should be a three way fridge....

but on the front it has a gas switch and nothing else:

Image


so is it a one way frigde? There is a small plastic connector on top of the fridge with 2 wires going into it, but I am thinking this may be for ignition. But it looks like it needs a 12v inpu into that plastic connector.

Don't know what to sell it as.....don't want to list it as a 212 f if people think they are getting a three way fridge. Just sold one of those, and there are many more connections!

thanks folks

look at the rear of the fridge.

look at the foil coverd fibreglass tube

the electric heating elements enter thi tube .
there should be one set for 12v and one set for 240v.
if no wires then its a single way.

have you a pic of the rear?
also the sticker may be universal.

Hi Billy739,

Did you keep the gas burner? I'm not going to bvf but I could arrange a courier if you'd like to sell it?
