Shocking lack of quality from Brama/Vinotemp. My brand-new Brama Retro Refrigerator (Model BR-RETRO-01-B, Capacity 281L / 9.9 cu ft) never cooled for even a minute because the compressor was completely nonfunctional. The unit came equipped with a UKN52YA R600a compressor, and it failed straight out of the box.The compressor ran hot, but the copper discharge line and condenser stayed room temperature — a textbook sealed-system failure and clear evidence that the compressor wasn’t pumping refrigerant at all. This was a true dead-on-arrival unit despite following all setup instructions, including letting the fridge stand upright for 24 hours before powering it on.Brama/Vinotemp chose this compressor and are responsible for quality control. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this product line.
