    Anyone having problems with GAMKO build quality?



    I am.

    I sold a 2-door and a 3-door bottle cooler (both sliding door ones) and had horrendous issues with them to the point where I had to give the customer two of the Interlevin ones.

    Amazingly he's happier with the Interlevin ones as they are staying together better.

    The main problems we had were with the structure of the units.

    As you can see from this picture the cabinets is completely off-square



    This caused sticking doors, water leaks, etc.

    The manufacturers even replaced the unit and the replacement was worse than the first one.

    Anyone else have this sort of trouble or am I alone?


    If it was easy everyone would do it.

    these cabinets use polystyrene slab insulation and have no strength unlike most commercial cabinets that use a 2 part foam that is injected into the cabinet and expands and gives makes it rigid.

    new one on me anyway

    Thats was just recently tho, foster havent YET messed about with the design of the cabinet.

    I do all the service work for GAMKO AND Foster in scotland and iv never came across a situation were the door are not level.

    Only real issue with gamko was the absolute rubbish controller they used too use but they solved that problem out
