Brew fridge Repair

scblack · Post by **scblack** » Sunday Feb 19, 2006 9:41 am

I now have a brew fridge, it took a mate and myself 5 hours to pick the bloody thing up, and it has carked it.

Is there anybody in the Hills district of Sydney who may be able to have a look and hopefully get it running? Please.

when you say carked it...?
motor running but not cooling or motor she run no more?

The gas leaked out of my old fridge so it went to the tip after spending some time on it's back as a giant esky....then I scrounged another cheapy from ebay.....

If she's completely dead try your local whitegoods supplier, they generally have trade-ins out the back, which you can score for free.

It's not cooling at all, I can hear the click-click as it tries to get going, but the motor doesn't start. It's a real old thing, now I have to dispose of it.

Hmm, trade ins - good idea.

I had a look at a couple of white goods places on the weekend, I may get a chest freezer, with enough room for two fermenters. Undecided yet. Or look at ebay.

Sorry I got no more inpout, sounds like the motor. relay clicking? might be cheaper to dump and replace.

Could use it as a brewing cupboard if you have the space.

Damn good insulation and all, even without temperature control, it'd at least stop heavy fluctuation, and a small computer fan/ice box set up could drop the temp inside.
