Re: Climate class and ambient temperature

Thanks for the reassurance, kwatt. As an experiment, certainly only for the four coldest months – one of which is drawing to a close – I have fitted a “bubble wrap” skirt between the rear of the cabinet and the wall, together with an indoor/outdoor thermometer, to keep the system relatively warm. The maximum differential I have seen was 10degrees (8/18), but since it falls to about a one degree difference just before the compressor restarts, I suspect I’m wasting my time. It’s just that there are a few dire warnings of compressor failure knocking about on the net that made feel I just take some precaution short of providing a lamp bulb heater, which really seems a bit OTT energy-wise.
