Responsible regulator

Energy Safe (VIC) is the responsible regulator for this recall.

Unless you are instructed differently, businesses are required by the Australian Consumer Law to keep spare parts and repair facilities fairly available for a reasonable amount of time. For a fridge full of food, four weeks for components is not ideal! read this refrigerator guide might help you thanks…
