1990 t25 fridge unit SNAFU

Post by Wolfmaine »

Hi  all, ive just purchased a 1990 T25 with a 1.6 diesel engine, unfortunatly the fridge (240v 12V and gas)is duff the measurements are 48cm wide 63cm high and a depth of 48cm, i have had no luck in locating anything similar in size, the interior of the van is not far off mint so im reluctant to have to change interiors just because i cant find a fridge, im not fussed on it being gas, does any one know a replacement for this item

regards

ian

What makes you say that the fridge is dead? What have you checked?

As OBG says, there may not be anything wrong with it. If it hasn't been used for a while (not even a good while) they sometimes need a little encouragement to rev up.
Once it's working it should be fine. Mine is 30+ years old and serves me just fine.

Put your approximate location and details of your van in your signature. It really does help.

Regards, Max.

In terms of an alternative you could maybe look at the Vitrifrigo product line - apparently their C50i model is a good fit for the available space, and can run on both 12V / 230VAC.

PS - If your existing fridge is in good nick, and you’re thinking to throw it out, then I’d be interested in taking it off your hands, as the plastic inside ours is splitting and cracking from age. :-D
