A friend has a Quirks autofridge 12volt it has blown the glass fuse on the PC board and replacing this doesnt fix the problem . I found a supplier and they said Danfoss dont supply these PCboards or the circuit diagrams it was made in 98 . The only way to fix this unit is to replace the complete compressor & electrics with a (using a Danfoss BDF35 ) at a cost of over $500 !
So if anyone has had anything to do with this Quirks units and knows some tricks or has figured out the PC board circuit let me know . Thanks

G'day toolman.

Dont electrolux make a 12 volt compressor similar to the danfoss but cheaper maybe you could use one of those.

Think they go under the name ACC now, from Airefrig.

Airefrig eh ?
Its not true what they say about you Temprite your alright.
I will try that Electrolux / ACC alternative , Heatcraft can supply Danfoss but at a whopping $495 + GST
Thanks again :cool:

OK I checked with Airefrig yes theres an ACC brand - 12volt but sadly its MORE than the Danfoss !!
Oh well I'll be recommending he by a new unit and not mess about with it ( or me mess about with it ) Thats the way everything is going that plugs in I suppose .:(

do the simple thing..
Buy a 240 volt compressor and slap in a 12 inverter ..
Ive done this on a couple of marine applications but you will still be looking at $300+ to do this mod..

Hi fri11j - sounds like interesting project. Pls tell us more. Chiller or low temp project?
Do you have a make /model for the dc to ac inverter ? what was the amp rating on that and what was rating of compressor you used?
Is it continuous duty or intermittent by the way ...

best regards
