    Freezer to chiller



    Hi
    I purchased a Foster NHR25U freezer from Ebay UK.

    It was sold with the title Foster meat chill.

    I purchased it to use it to hang deer for butchering,
    It required a new door seal, when I sourced the new seal I was shocked to see that it was in fact a freezer rather than a chill.

    Is there any way that an engineer can turn the freezer down to work as a chill, deer need to be hung at below
    7 C, ideally between 1 & 2 degree C.

    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    Cheers

    you should replace the compressor as the one fitted would not be designed to run at medium temperature application.freezers usually attract a higher price so you may be better off selling this unit and purchase another for your desired application
