Bought a home that has an outdoor kitchen and the mini-refrigerator is not cooling. Does anyone know a quality appliance repair person/company that they would recommend in the Edmond/OKC area? Thanks!
Thanks! I was looking into replacing it. Need to know if a replacement can withstand being on a covered patio outdoors. Some dedicated “outdoor” refrigerators are pricey.Just my opinion, but if it’s a mini fridge, a new one probably won’t cost much more that the repair. Many of the minis don’t have a valve for recharging the freon. If you decide to repair, Eric’s Refrigeration. I think his name is Eric Steele. It’s been a while so not 100% sure on that.
I can't find a brand name on the refrigerator but the grill and sink say Lynx. Never heard of them. I just did a search on Lynx in OKC and found one dealer (Metro Appliances & More). If I could use a regular mini refrigerator, replacing sounds MUCH better than paying for a repair. To your point, replacing with a dedicated outdoor unit is pricey.One thing I didn't mention earlier, if it's one of those outdoor commercial stainless models (True, Deerfield, etc) you can NOT get one of those for the same price as repairing. In that case I'd probably get it repaired for the $300 or so, or if money was an issue I'd put it in storage until i could get it repaired. Just throw it in a shed somewhere out of the rain.
Then replace it short term with a $100 Samsclub mini fridge. For repair I liked a little mom and pop refrigeration shop around Reno, but my phone is waiting on parts and I can't remember the name. I'll have it running again on Saturday and can post up the name then.
4" on each side is nonsense lawyer speak for CYA purposes. You need back ventilation for the compressor heat to escape and you'll be more than fine. You could downsize the unit also and get clearance all around if you (or the wife) is hung up on the 4" thing, but it might look funny if it's got gaps all around. Like a motorcycle parked in a warehouse.I can't find a brand name on the refrigerator but the grill and sink say Lynx. Never heard of them.
