You really gotta get in there to clean all the nooks and crannies...
We tried the fridge out for a couple of days to see how cold it got and how long it held the cold air. It wasn't getting below 55 degrees so we knew we had to add insulation. We bought a sheet of 1 1/2" rigid foam insulation board and cut it into panels to line the sides of the fridge. We also stuck a cork in the drain so that cold air couldn't escape through there either.
We coated the panels with white Easypoxy topside paint (because that's what we had laying around) and let it cure a few days before caulking them into place.
We caulked the seams as well (don't have a picture of it all completed), added weather stripping to the trim on the lid, and added a larger fan for circulation. The lid is still really cold on the outside so we try to keep something over it (I use a folded yoga mat) to insulate it a bit more. We should probably add some insulation to the inside of the lid at some point. But all in all, the fridge is running great! It stays around 40 degrees now. It also really helps to keep as much stuff in it as possible to hold onto the cold air. Oh and we got some handy little stacking baskets to try and help keep things organized in there.
Sounds like more insulation is needed on the cover but until then you have a dual purpose yoga mat (insulator by night... cool exerciser by day :} ). Did you insulate the floor as well as the sides? I couldn't tell from the pics. Love what you are doing though.
ReplyDeleteYes exactly my thoughts haha! We did put a piece in the floor that is removable. That way we can take the floor piece out and defrost the fridge or use the drain if needed.
ReplyDeleteSmart thinking on the removable floor. I never would have thought of that. You are both renovation geniuses!

ReplyDeleteJust wondered seeing you two get the job well finished like the professionals. I am honestly happy to experience the whole steps and procedures you applied to add insulation. It would be another super support if you have experience on the solution when Fridge is too loud? Thanks in advance for the future update.

ReplyDeleteDie Technologie entwickelt sich schneller denn je und schneller als Sie denken. Diese aufkommende Tekhnologie wird unsere Lebensweise verändern.
ReplyDeleteSuper inspiring repair project you added in this white and bright page that really made me amazed as I was able to learn something more regarding the refrigerator care. Insulation and ventilation is the top most prominent part of keeping the freeze cold and if any one of the two gets troubled, we might call for a professional expert as most of us do not have the basic knowledge on how to solve the problem. I was surprised seeing how you did such technical job just a simple way. Indeed adding the insolation was praiseworthy. Inspite of looking for used fridge for sale, I was completely happy with the technical focus I found here.
ReplyDeleteThis will be enough to complete a fairly small project within your property. The kits would usually come with instructions and the necessary hardware such as a garden hose looking gun and a hose, some nozzles, tips, gloves and goggles, making insulating your home as easy as watering your backyard. 2 lb spray foam insulation kit
