ARB fridge repair?

[magnus_heydoc]

My ARB fridge, the older style metal body has finally quit getting cold after 4-5 years of almost continuous daily use. There does not seem to be a valve to refill with refrigerant to test for leaks. Anybody know how to fill with refrigerant and maybe with some flouro dye and find a leak?

Give Paul at Engel USA a call. They are the US Engel importer and repair facility. He will likely have an answer to any of your questions.

Paul is the man!

Thanks for the tip. Paul walked me through some testing to check pwr. vs. compressor. So I've got some work to do.

Thanks to Paul

Paul at Engl got me a new compressor and I installed it and I'm back to fully functional.
Paul is extremely helpful and accessible, he even gave me his cell for after hours in case I ran into difficulty. I'd recommend an Engel to anybody.
Full props.
