Re: Are Chest Freezers no longer suitable for Garages ?

Thanks everyone for your help.

I guess that’s a level of risk I can live with, it wouldn’t look good in the lounge anyway.

It says this in my Liebherr Manual:
Climate rating
The appliance is set to operate within specific ambient temperature limits according to its climate rating. These temperature limits should not be exceeded. The correct climate rating for your appliance
is indicated on the type plate.
Climate rating Ambient temperatures
SN up to + 32 °C
N up to + 32 °C
ST up to + 38 °C
T up to + 43 °C

And on the website:
Liebherr-household appliances meet all essential, valid technical specifications, wherever they may be installed. In various markets therefore, only appliances from the respective suitable ranges can be delivered.

Don’t know if that helps, though Liebherr did install it in our garage without comment.

Does anyone know about the liquid viscosity thing?

Thanks

I had heard that the problem was the compressor motor burning out due to the liquid becoming too viscous?

I have a Liebherr GTS6112 which is on breeze blocks at one end due to sloping floor, does this mean it should be ok, and I can stop trying to work out how to heat the compressor?

Is the same true of vertical freezers like the GNP3376?

Thanks
Adrian
