I've had a small 10.1 cu ft beer, snack, meat and whatever fridge for a few years now. I bought a drink cooler a couple of years ago to keep cheese and SS in. My wife called me a little over a week ago and said the cheese cooler was screaming like a banshee, I think you need to replace it. We shopped around and found what we think was a good deal on a 20 cu ft fridge at lowe's to replace both. Not much more than just replacing the cooler. I'll take the 10.1 fridge to work and don't know what use there is for a small drink cooler with a failing compressor. I would like to try using it for a curing cabinet but without temp control I don't think it will work.
