HELLO!
I bought a freezer today at the usual store that sell used/refurbished ones. here where i live there are many shops that import appliances from Germany and fix it and resell it. I have already bought 4 from them, unfortunately one died recently and i needed urgently another one.
I didn't want to buy another 25 years old one, even though very reliable, the gasket can be ruined.
They had some nice frost-free ones, but, none, the electronic board worked. The price was quite low though, so I bought one.
They call these "modified". Essentially, the electronic board that controls the freezer is faulty, so they simply bypassed it, using a regular mechanical thermostat (which I plan to replace with a nice electronic one with numbers and all) and a defrost timer.
Now for me it does not matter if the board is not working anymore, but am I going to encounter any issues or downside of this mod?
Thank you in advance.
