Frequently Asked Questions About Domestic Refrigerator Repair:
A refrigerator running in cold ambient environment
Some weeks ago our refrigerator (compressor model) stopped working. I am quite sure, that it is still fine (only 4 years old), but the room-temperature in our holiday house dropped down to about 5°C.. During the time nobody is there, the central heating starts working at a temperature of 5°C (to save energy costs). Searching the internet I got to your very informative page. At another page I read, that common refrigerators work fine above 16°C, reduced performance at between 16°C and 6°C, and stop working below.
Until now I have not been able to find a guide how to convert a common refrigerator to one which will work at temperatures around 5°C. Can this be done?
Yes it can be done. Please see the following article out of my book that shows you how to set it up. I'm also attaching the graphics that come with the article to this message.
Note: Section 5 article called "Fitting a System to Run in an Unheated Space", and figure 5-35 was sent
