Servicing of Chiller

[thisissoleceh]

Just wondering if any reefers here do service their chillers. How often? Any reviews?

Chillers are simple sealed mechanisms that need very little or no maintenance for years (just like our home refrigerators).

Clean the air filter mesh occasionally is sufficient (eg. monthly?) This is to ensure good flow of air for heat exchange.

Thanks for the advice. I heard from others that servicing is about flushing the dirt and the other nonsense stuffs that may grow or stuck in the chiller.
Is that true?

Yes, some folks talked about 'flushing' with vinegar perhaps annually.

Personally I've not flushed my chillers as I don't find it necessary. Cleaning the air filters is more important.

Perhaps others can chime in.
