Converting a fridge into a freezer

Is it possible to convert an upright refrigerator w/ a freezer to just a freezer (i.e. convert the refrigerator portion to a freezer)? Thanks

Only if it is a 50's or older. Newer than this the systems didn't have the capacity. To convert it if suitable you would just need to install a different control. Try a VF3 kit.

To test the unit’s freezer ability, temporarily short out the cold control and let it run for 8 hours. The maximum level it can achieve will be apparent.
