Mini Fridge Saga Help please

59 replies

I need a mini fridge in my room - they seem to be going out of fashion in favour of chillers etc and so not easy to find

At last my little fridge was delivered today and there is my food for the next 5 days waiting to be put away

In the process of un-packing it the styro-foam surrounding the coolant pipe was removed

I'm not convinced that this was the correct thing to do - the instruction booklet is no help and there is contradictory advice online

Please does anyone know if this is right or wrong - and if wrong will it be dangerous to switch on/use the fridge??

Still non the wiser.

Fridge temp about 4 degrees

Chiller temp 10 degrees plus so not safe for food

Can you post a photo? Is this a pipe at the back of the fridge?

@HeatherMoores A fridge refrigerates and a chiller chills, it's kind of in the names.

What is the difference between a fridge and a chiller?
Am also curious about why you don’t use fullstops but irrelevant I guess!

Well, it was there for a reason and a quick Google seems to indicate that it wouldn't be a great idea to use the fridge.
