• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

I have a Vitrifrigo that does not run well anymore. It cools but barely. It worked well for years. The local repairman says it is the control board, cost about $ 450 plus labor. I replaced it with a small office fridge that runs on the inverter. We did pay $ 1,400 for the Vitrifrigo but I am happy with the cheap $ 120.00 substitute.
I hate to throw it away, someone may want to fix it or use it for parts. Message me and come to pick it up.
It is about 10 cu.in. total capacity, 53" high.

You can find a module for less than $300. If you go with a 12V only, about $70 less than that. Replacing the module can be DIY, it's just a matter of swapping out the part, connect wires to the same terminals they come off of. EZPZ. The most recent module for 12/24/120 is (101N0510).

Be sure the software version is at least text: 1.19 . Version 1.06 was "moody" and may not be reliable.



If you don't need the 120V (why would you, really??) save a couple bucks and just run it on 12V. (The 12V module is 101N0210)
 
In that case, I may keep it. Thanks for the part number.

Steve, about a year ago I had to replace the module on my vitrifrigo they sent and I installed the 101N0510
How can I find out what software version it is using, the 1.06 or the 1.19 do you know if it can be upgraded, user reprogramed or will I eventually need a new modulewith 1.19?
Thanks!

I decided to keep it and fix it. Thank you Steve.
 
I don't know how to edit my previous posts but after spending some time testing etc., I go back to the first idea: I will give the fridge away, free.
The freezer cools really well but the fridge part stays warm. The compressor and fan run, Even if I fixed it, I would not know what to do with it.
 
I don't know how to delete the post but Kevin took the fridge today, it's gone to a good home.
 
Thanks for the fridge Jacques. Made it home with it and plan on ordering the part tomorrow.
