    This cooler was one of Australias first cabinet coolers.

    Can be used with coal out of a fire , line the inner wall
    with coals , wet them down , and sit your cooler in the
    breeze.

      Camping coolers use the same method today, with a water absorbent material on the outside covered with perforated aluminum and plastic inside,

      Good for keeping your beer cool Bruce.

    Re: Whirlpool fridge+freezer thermostat replacement

    If the freezer is constantly running but not getting cold enough then the thermostat wouldn't make a difference as the thermostat will only cut the compressor

    Ok, so with the switch "on" and one of your meter probes always connected to the battery negative terminal.

    Take voltage measurements
