Dune 20lt fridge freezer seals
(Preview)
Hi, I purchased a dune fridge with the intention of running it as a freezer. However the seal does not work very well and it freezes up then I can'nt open it. Anyone had a similar problem or suggestion about how to fix it. It was out of warranty before I had a chance to use it.
