Relation needs new F/F as the fridge on his 20 year old one has packed up. Not worth investigating due to age so a replacement is proposed.
Couldn't find good source of info - do new ones have 2 motors / compressors - or is the refrigerant valved in some way to enable the two thermostats to control each part? (We have discounted a single thermostat type).
We have also discounted a frost free one as the additional complications don't seem to offer him any significant advantage - as he says, defrosting now and again is a good discipline to check the food and to clean it.
Any advice I can pass on to help with choice where reliability, economy are significant. He lives alone and doesn't make big demands on such an appliance.
