Thread: Boo Hoo

Bought a new fridge and it is in and running. Went to check both temperature settings and there is a row of lights with a plus and minus button to adjust the temperature. The book says the freezer should be -18 or below. How do I tell? Rang the manufacturer and was told to buy a fridge thermometer. Great!!! Not happy!

You reckon you've got problems, mine keeps running out of kero.

Put beer in there, it tastes much better.

My 18 year old Westinghouse just died and I bought an LG 450 litre upside down.
Rated at 4.5 stars for energy , and by the ad I saw in the shopping centre the only 4.5 star upside down in Australia.

I asked the salesman whether people bought fridges on energy efficiency and he said no, basically on reliability reputation. He recommended LG over Samsung .
Interesting that it runs on LPG gas.

Also has a "linear inverter motor" which sound s to me like an Engel!LOL

BTW my LPG loaded aircon in the D2 has not blown up yet and still cold after 3.5 years.

Not many don't run that gas,which isn't actually LPG,it is some cocktail of LPG products, that is flammable.
Westinghouse were using it for over 17yrs ago.

They are going to gradually start using it some small commercial cabinets as well soon.

Not for me. Had one fail inside four years a number of years ago and it was something that was inside/attached to something else (possibly defrost timer that was part of the heater???) and they no longer made them!!!

Had to replace the fridge downstairs recently for visitor use as the small LG stopped. Bought a Westinghouse (when you're on a good thing... ) which are now made in Thailand according to the sticker on the inside. Will see how it goes.
