Re: Fridge died..what do you have and is it tolerable?

[Guest guest]

I use a Frigidar old style fridge with a small ice box, I always try to

seek out this type second hand as it does not bother me, whereas a Zanussi one

I tried out really bothered me. But I cant find the model no sorry. it

is about 10yrs old. Pretty basic no fancy bits. With the ice box I think it

can help if you turn it off at nights to keep the temp down. You can get

gas fridges of course.

The best have no auto-defrost. Like Conserv and Sun Frost.

Or the vintage Frigidaires from like the 60's.

(The defrost motors are usually open-frame (aka C-frame) which

don't the confine the field at all.

Of course you want the circuit it's on to have clean power.

Stetzer's near the panel might help with that.

Hi Puk,

How can you tell if a fridge bothers you or not? Can you feel it when you stand

near it? I am wondering if my energy efficient fridge is part of the reason I am

so tired. However, I don't feel any different next to it than any other place in

the house.

Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Cheryl

sometimes " energy efficient " means electronics that

control motor current. You don't want that. See if

a radio buzzes near the fridge or cord...

Hi Cheryl, as per advice below from bill, if the fridge is bad it could be

allowing ingress from the electronics into your house wiring and giving you

a dose that way, the fridge I tried out made me feel uneasy throughout my

whole body likk bill says its got electronics whereas my old fridge has not.
