fridges - insulin
ok,
anyone have any ideas,
I got a fridge, which for the most part is fine, have had for about 5 years, the first 6 months it made an awfull racket, but then setted down. Now it hardly makes a sound.
now, its one of these new fangled, energy saving ones.
I've had to mopnitor the tempreature, primairly beacuse I store my insulin in it.
I've used 3 digital thermometers and the all vary getween 8.8deg's and 10degs. This is when the fridge is on its highest setting and the probes are in the middle shelf (where I store my insulin)
now, Insulin (long term, storage) needs to be farily cold BUT not frozen, I think at around 5degs to 12degs, I'd feel happier if the fridge were around 6 or 7 deg's.
I'm going to try the lower shelf, but think it could get down to as low as 2 ot 3 which would kill the insulin.
BTW the frezzer does have ICE init !
could it be the gas is leaky/worn out, the fins at the back get quite warm, can I tweak the thermostat or are they sealed units.
any ideas, cos I'm really quite concerned about my insulin !
cheers guys
