Fridge freezer in a garage not working!

[Wordupdowg]

Hi,

I’ve got a candy csc1745we fridge freezer which is in my garage.

As we’ve had a couple of cold days it’s seems the freezer isn’t working!

I do know why and I do understand that the compressor operates to run the fridge and if there’s a cold ambient then the fridge doesn’t require cooling hence the freezer stops as there is only one compressor.

There must be a retro fit option or someone has done/tried something that has worked?????

Any help anyone??? Please???

The only option is to buy another one which is designed to work in low ambient temperatures.

Yours is not one of those, http://www.candy-domestic.co.uk/en_...e/refrigerators/-/catalog/1337122/csc-1745-we
climate class ST (subtropical), minimum temperature 18C.

or wastefully heat the room to around 18%

Thanks for that.

Not sure if this will work but I were thinking about fitting a small strip heater near the compressor and boxing it in, this will be set on a stat to work between 8 and 15 degrees C. Then I will install a bulb inside the fridge compartment on a septerate feed to generate some heat in there and hopefully making the compressor kick in.

Do you think this will work?
