Re: Another Fridge Rebuild

I’m impressed. Mine never looked as frosted as picture one. (But Adelaide has very low humidity.)

I’ve just gone through the procedure a second time as I moved the Ozefridge to the new boat. I was a little more patient this time. I sometime wondered if I’d let a little too much out the first time.

Possibly, these capillary systems have very little gas in them in comparison to those with an accumulator and TX valve. Their upside us that they are highly reliable.

Re: Another Fridge Rebuild

The tray holders for the trays which roll aft under the bench top are supported by SS frames and roll on roller bearings. They were implemented this way because they support large trays which would be difficult to move on just sliders.

The trays which go forward are only single smaller trays which, because of their limited weight capacity, are suitable for just sliders.

The two images illustrate: a single loaded tray in the access location and the plywood slider frame. The sliders are the white thing and are made from plastic cover strip section.
