Here is a link to the manufacturer of the "Coleman" unit:
Twinbird, Japan

"Twinbird Industries" is also printed on the controller board.

Here are a few more items to add to my last post:

You need to periodically remove the cover and thoroughly dust off the heat sink with compressed air. This may be also be one of the factors contributing to the starting problem mentioned earlier. After cleaning out the unit I have not experienced problems with starting it.

My view after using this refrigerator for nearly 3 years is that it is by far the best refrigeration solution available for a small off-grid system. It only needs around 0.24 kwh/day and runs from 12vdc.

There is one sitting right next to me right now, quietly working away. Very efficient!
