SCL 138 LTR DOUBLE DOOR TMF REFRIGERATOR-RTD138PG

Overview & Capacity

The SCL-RTD138PG is a 138-litre double-door (top mount freezer) refrigerator designed for small to medium households, bedsitters, and office kitchens. Its size strikes a balance between compactness and functionality, offering enough storage for groceries, beverages, leftovers, fruits, and frozen foods without occupying too much space.

The top freezer design separates frozen items from fresh food, improving organization and efficiency compared to single-door models. This layout also helps maintain better temperature control across compartments.

 Cooling Technology & Performance

The refrigerator uses a direct cool system (manual defrost in most listings), which is known for efficient cooling and low power consumption. It can achieve freezing temperatures of around –18°C, making it suitable for storing meat, ice, and frozen goods.

Some variants are also marketed with No Frost or improved airflow features, reducing ice build-up and maintenance needs.

A key advantage is its cooling retention capability (up to ~15 hours during power outages), which is particularly useful in areas with occasional electricity interruptions.

 Energy Efficiency & Environmental Impact

The fridge is designed with energy efficiency in mind (often A+ rated), helping reduce electricity bills over time. It uses R600a refrigerant, which is eco-friendly and has a lower environmental impact compared to older gases.

Its efficient compressor and insulation system ensure consistent cooling without excessive power consumption, making it suitable for everyday Kenyan household use.

 Interior Features & Storage

Inside, the fridge is designed for practical organization and durability:

• Tempered glass shelves — strong enough for heavy pots and containers
• Vegetable crisper drawer — maintains freshness of fruits and vegetables
• Door racks — ideal for bottles, condiments, and dairy
• Egg tray & ice tray — added convenience
• Interior LED lighting — improves visibility at night

These features ensure efficient use of space and easy access to items.

 Build Quality & Design

The fridge features a modern pebble grey finish, a reversible door, and a recessed handle for a clean, stylish appearance. It also includes a reliable hermetic compressor with up to 2-year warranty in some cases, ensuring long-term durability.

Its compact dimensions (~480 × 1370 × 530 mm) make it suitable for small kitchens while still offering good storage capacity.
