Steca

I have had a terrible experience with a Steca PF166H refrigerator
It ran flawlessly for 6 months per year over a 2 year period and then quit
I have used Sundanzer units for about 10 years but thought I would try the Steca
Big mistake
They have no parts inventory in the US nor in their factory in Europe
I determined that the compressor failed
The distributor in the US has also tried to get parts but no joy
To buy a new one does not make sense
To buy a new compressor and controller from a supplier in Poland would cost more than a new refrigerator
Good frig but if you need parts be prepared to junk your unit and but something else
Because they run on R290 you cant replace with R134A compressor unless you know how to adjust the system
