Onboard AC/DC Electrical Refigerator

[rpaden]

Hello All,
I have a 1974 Dufour 27 with a front-loading AC/DC electric refrigerator. I seem to be having having issues with the refrigerator’s compressor(brand/manufacture unknown), as the unit's light which is inside the refigerator is on but the unit is not cooling anything I pace inside. Has anyone updated an older onboard refrigerator, or does anyone have experience re-insulating the refrigerator’s space and converting it to a traditional ice box?
I am even thinking of replacing it with a standalone self-contaned electric refigerator.
I am open to all comments, suggestion and recomendations.

Thanks,

Hi there!

I still have the original fridge installed (1975!) and it still works ok'ish! I have recently changed the thermostat and every year it requires a top up of the gas (I must have some leak!) - have you checked this?
