It didn’t work
I follow all instructions to the t and the refrigerator doesn’t get cold at all. Seems to be low on gas. Customer service advise to reach out to local tech ( they are not easy available) . It is very disappointing, it was supposed to be user-installable. At a minimum, they should supply a refill kit and instructions. Do not recommend

Faulty Compressor
Never worked after installation. LED blinks three times when trying to run. The blink code is "Faulty compressor" and corrective action is "Call factory" I have been trying to call the factory without any success.

Adler-Barbour cold machine no warranty service
I received my Adler-Barbour cold machine low on freon and could not get any help from customer service.Their distributors in the area won’t work on it because they will not pay for the service call. So I had to pay a refrigeration repair technician. Don’t buy .

New Compressor
This was a direct replacement for my old machine. It connected directly to the old condenser and worked perfectly.

Quality Control is Lacking
I bought this unit along with a new evaporator just over 12 months ago. This spring started it up and found it had lost all of the refrigerant due to a faulty schrader valve on the refill port. The 12v fan has also died. For the price I paid for the unit I'm very disappointed in the quality control or lack of

Questions
I have 2 existing holding plates can I hook up the CU unit 100 to the reconditioned holding plates? I have about 10cf of refrigeration freezer space I am cooling.
Last summer was 3rd year. Works great but on start up takes2-3 days to get the heat out of the insulation that surrounds the refrigerator. When the cold plate starts to show a film of ice, take a hair dryer and defrost. Takes 20 minutes. Also don’t expect warm beverages to cool quickly. Best to put a couple of frozen 1/2 gallon water jugs. This aids in dropping the temp of every thing in the boat fridge. Like all other equipment on boat, you need to learn to manage it. I installed with help of one friend and would purchase again. Don’t try found it alone. You need that second person.
