We teach you step by step how to improve, maintain and repair your refrigerator in the face of the most common problems that you will encounter.

In this video we will learn the basic operation of a refrigerator, the different options we have in portable and fixed refrigerators to be able to have cold food and drinks on board. Including some options, such as the @EcoFlowTech Glacier: One of the best that exists in portable refrigerators, we leave you the link below.

And of course, how to repair your refrigerator: Electrical problems, refill gas, check the compressor and improve its operation, adding a digital thermostat and a temperature sensor to be able to monitor it from your mobile.
