To everybody who thinks they have found a good deal in Comet-be very, very careful. We bought a fridge-freezer from them in August 2008 and have it in the back of an internal garage (where we had kept quite happily an old fridge freezer for 12 years). On Monday evening this stopped working. My husband phoned Comet and was told very rudely that it was "his fault" for putting it in the back of the garage. Customer service is non-existant with this company. I only hope that nothing goes wrong with the goods that you are buying as you will not be getting a refund or any help whatsoever to sort the matter out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Have a look in your installation instructions it will probably tell you not to put in a place that might fall below a certain temperature.. Most if not all modern freezers are should be kept in room temperature.

From Which

Can I keep my fridge in the garage?

Every fridge has a 'climate class'. This tells you the range of room temperatures in which the model is designed to work.
Fridges used in temperatures above or below these limits might not work properly. Eg the freezer compartment might defrost if the room temperature becomes too low.
For this reason, appliances shouldn't be kept in unheated garages and sheds. At least, that's the theory – in practice, plenty of people get away with this quite happily.
