How can I get a mini Red Bull fridge repaired?
I purchased a mini Red Bull fridge for one of my sons about 3 years ago. About a year ago it stopped working. I have called every appliance repair I can find, and none of them work on what they call "specialty" fridges. Does anyone know how I could find a repair person to look at this fridge and possibly get it repaired? It's in very good condition, never abused, so I'm perplexed as to why it just suddenly stopped cooling. I even called the local Red Bull distributor and the person I talked to told me I had no business even owning one - very rude person. I purchased it from EBAY, and there are several there for sale, so it's not something I purchased illegally. I just would like to get it running again if at all possible. Any ideas? Thank you!
Hi Chris, sorry to hear about all the issues you've had with your mini-fridge. This article has some good tips on what you can possibly do to fix your mini-fridge - https://howtofixit.net/mini-fridge-not-cooling/
Chris,
Try not to be too upset by the less-than-positive response you received from the Red Bull distributor that you contacted. Even though the image on your fridge is widely recognizable as being Red Bull beverage, if you look closely, the shape of the blue is different from the example below, and there is no encircled capital R visible. Its absence most likely means that the particular version of the logo on your fridge is not the precise logo that the Red Bull owns the copyright for, and the the fridge is not one of their proprietary products.
Even though my comment here does not give a repair solution, I just wanted to help put you at ease about your purchase. There is nothing illegal about items such as this (using non copyright logos)for sale and being purchased on ebay.
Hi Chris,
Here is a link on what to look for and do about your mini-fridge. From the way it sounds, the diagnosing and repair may be more costly than what you actually paid for the refridge.

Here's a list of things to check. If you need a repair person it may just be less expensive to replace it.

Hi Chris, try to ocate the manufacturer of the fridge. There's possibly a model # or serial number on a tag on the fridge. You can then google those numbers to search and likely come up with a particular site where you may find a manual for the fridge or at least the manufacturer's cusomer service number.
I would think any appliance repair person could repair it - it is just a mini fridge with a logo on it -try calling local appliance repair shops
Call Red Bull and explain your situation to them. If anyone is more familiar with Red Bull products not sure who it would be.
I would check with a local convenience store to see what repair service they use.

Contact the people you bought it from , or the name of the company that made it!
If you get a person to repair it they will charge a service charge for Naomi visit and parts tax .it could be well over 200.00 you are better off getting a new one I have seen some like that for 100.00 try amazon
is it leaking
I agree that it's just a small mini/ bar fridge and the repair shouldn't be that technical. I'm surprised no one could help you, unless it's just not worth their time and the parts are hard to come by. I'd continue to call local appliance repair people, one of them should really be able to help. However, I agree it's going to cost you, once you consider new parts and the labor. It might be cheaper to buy a new one or use if for a neat bar display.
