Hi,
Although the fans go, it stopped cooling and freezing. Had a guy round and apparently there’s a leak in the gas pipe. He said he could fill the compressor but in 2 weeks we’d be back to square one, so it’s a write off. Is that a fact, can it be repaired before I dump it for a new one. Thanks
An analogy I use with my customers is a gas leak in the system is like having a slow puncture in your tyre, you either have the puncture repaired or buy a new tyre, so unless the Engineer carries out a leak test ( either by using an electronic leak detector or pressure testing with nitrogen ) and can locate the leak, and if it can be accessed for repair or a part replacement, then yes if it just regassed then it will leak out again, but no time scale can advised without knowing how big the leak is and how long it will last before you are back to square one.
It would appear that nearly every part for this unit is unavailable, looks like its time to buy a new one.
