I've had my fridge compressor regassed a couple of years ago but its performance is not what i'd call good. The boat is ten years old and the compressor is original. It seems noisy to me and the fridge is cool but not cold. And it seems to take a lot of 12v juice. Are the more modern units (ie recently manufactured) much more efficient than ten years ago? Or are the units just knackered after ten years and need binning?
I can't add more insulation around the fridge without dismantling the boat interior - (and I'm not about to do that) so my only perfomance gain I think can be by upgrading the compressor. Is it worth a try do you think?

Do fridge compressors degrade over time?
