Picked up one of these for €100, only 8 months old.

Whirlpool Upright Cabinet Fridge WM1510W


Registered it online and managed to get 2 years parts & labour warranty, plus an additional 4 year parts.
Can hold two FV at once.

Ordered one of these for the heating side of things

Dimplex 60W Electric Tubular Heater (12" Long)


With the STC-1000 ordered should have everything I need to get my tempertures under control.

Where did you get the Crosby for 100 euro?

Very nice! I'd say that warranty will be void as soon as you install the heater.

Well done, good purchase. I always seem to miss bargains like that.

Going to build a removable shelf to attach the heater to, then if anything goes wrong simply remove the shelf and the fridge will be back to standard. Well thats the plan

Was up on adverts for €200 last week, then €150 this week. The person selling it had sold all
the other kitchen equipement so I said to myself they must be getting work done on the house.

Offer €75, after a bit of haggling got it for €100. Drove out immediately and stuck it in the van.

Rember the old saying: "If in doubt say nowt"
Plus a new one: "Don't drill holes in it till the warrantys over"  i.e. Just squeeze the heater cable into the fridge at the TOP of the door on the hinge side!

Why top of the door on the hinge side?

Maximun compression of the magnetic seals occur on the hinge side (leverage and all that)
Why the top? Cause cold air sinks and will leak out of a bad seal at the bottom of the fridge.
