Hi Guys,
Wer'e emigrating to Perth in a few months, and I have been told that my new fridge won't work very well there. Can anyone confirm this for me please.
Thanks in advance,
Lucy. x

It should be fine as the voltage is the same, you will only need to change the mains plug over that's all.

hi Lucy,

check the rating plate for its climate class,
Climate class.
Every fridge has a 'climate class', which tells you the range of room temperatures with which it can cope. The two you're most likely to come across in the UK are N class and SN class.

Both work effectively in room temperatures up to 32°C.

N models shouldn't be used in rooms that become colder than 16°C. SN models shouldn't be used at room temperatures below 10°C.

Other classes that you might come across are ST and T. ST models work best at between 18°C and 38°C, and T models between 18°C and 43°C.

Bob.

Aust Made & Imported fridges are generally made for T Class Climate

Your Frig will work oK IE Same voltage Etc

The only problems you may experience is sweating around the cabinet area .(the frig that is)
