I have used the old version of the ARB fridge several time and it has always worked great. I order a new ARB fridge. I got it home, plugged it in and put in a few cans of soda in it for a test. I set the temperature to 37F and left it overnight. The next morning the soda did not feel that cold. I put a couple thermometers in the fridge for a couple hours. They both read in the mid 40’s. I had to set the temperature to 23F to get the thermometers to read in the mid 30’s. There was also some ice forming in one of the cooling lines inside the fridge. I contacted ARB and the store I got it form. They got me a new fridge very quickly. I put in 9 sodas and the 2 thermometers, set the temperature to 37F then left it overnight. This morning both thermometers read 50F. There is also a noise when the compressor is not running. It is kind of like a motor with bad bearings. That has me more worried than the lack of cooling. I have set the temperature to 23F and will give it overnight again.
So, I guess my question is has anyone else actually put a thermometer in their fridge? If the fridge that I have keeps making this noise, should I take it back and get the first fridge I had which did not make any noise when the compressor was not running?
Thanks for the help.
