Chefmate RS-06DR mini Fridge (1.6 Cubic Feet)
My chefmate is **** because the internal fan is garbage, its cheap, it
doesn't work or give enough flow, try a higher flow unit. You can get
the 12v at tigerdirect.com with some high flow (AND LIGHTS :) ) for a
few bucks to save your 100 dollar investment. The removal of the orig
fan is easy. The evap is a good setup, but the cooling setup for it
seems to be sh*t. Cheap fans = cheap setup and this is why everyone
hates these units cause it can't pump the goods.
For the record my fan died, so my evap and fan froze over completely
and spoiled my food and burned out the fan completely and probably
helped to short it. I can get it going if I flicker the fan with my
finger but she is dead and can't catch naturally. You could replace the
chefmate fan with most computer fans too... fyi if you got a junk tower
laying around.
While your at it clean the fans on the back and take off the back panel
which kicks out the hot air from the hot flow. It helps if your unit is
older (a year plus+ in a dorm is like 4 in a clean house lol)
I added some coolant after this started happening incase it was just running low. Had a leak last year but i fixed it. Is there maybe too much and its causing strain on compressor?
I think this started after i let the inch or so of ice that had built up on the freezer melt.
