rob dc Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 It will be R600 or R134a which will be fine, only issue would be if it was a real old R12 unit you had dug up from somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Quite a lot of familys have brought their fridge freezer TO Aus ,so i can't see it being much different shipping it the other way. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. These are not the fridges you are looking for Guess I am trying to work out whether it is worth doing it. Ours is a one year old fridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob dc Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Look at the rating label stuck inside with the model number etc. it will say either R134a or R600(a) followed by an amount in grms which is the gas charge, both will be fine to ship. If it says R12 it will be an old wreck from a scrap heap somewhere and you won't be allowed to ship it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
