    I got one of the Husky fridges above for my room and having this strange issue, it's like each time the fridge kicks in, my computer screen knocks off at the same time.

    Are they both connected on an extension lead?

    its obviously some electrical issue, try to plug in the fridge elsewhere and just see if the issue is gone, then rule out the extention lead by replacing it..

    It's prob the jolt in power that kicks in when the fridge comes on that's cause the comp screen to go off

    Overloading of the socket?

    Well I was looking at it thinking it might be overloaded, which had me worried as it should trip the switch in the fuse box. After looking at it, the screen doesn't actually turn off, it's like the display loses it signal. Would it be EM interference with the screen or something, it's hard to figure it out, everything else in the room is fine.

    As suggested might try moving it around the room.

    I am impressed by the fridge so far, good to have the beers close!

    As for noise it can make little noise when the motor kicks in but other than that it's fairly unnoticeable and most easily worth 105€ with the discount. Also the pictures on the Argos site don't do it justice it's actually quite big as in you'd easily store, 10 or so 2 liters of milk in it.

    There's no consumer issue here that I can see. This is really more of an Electrical issue.

    I had the same issue with the same fridge and a TV when they were connected to the same outlet. Not sure if it was power or interference.
