ParticipantHi all,
I woke up this morning to find that my integrated fridge/freezer was warm in both the fridge and freezer compartments. I removed it from its wall unit/cupboard to inspect it and it generally looks fine. No obvious signs of an issue like leaks, discolouration, wiring seems intact, etc. The fridge freezer details are:
Make: Electrolux
Model: KBI280
PCN: 925694696However, I turned the fridge off to remove it from the cupboard and when I powered it again it seemed absolutely dead. The light is on in the fridge compartment (so power is reaching the appliance) but there are no sounds whatsoever. I lay on the ground next to the compressor for 10 minutes and heard nothing, no buzzes or ticks and no attempt from the compressor to do anything.

I removed the compressor starter cover and all looked ok to me. The compressor seemed a likely candidate until I realised it was not making any noises.Any thoughts on what I can do next (diagnostic steps) or possible causes?

ParticipantOK, am closing this request. I did not originally appreciate how rubbish family life is without a working fridge.
I am skipping the diagnostics on my 12 year old fridge freezer and just going to get a new one. The old one will be recycled as I don’t have space to keep it around. Hence, please do not put in any effort to respond to this request as I will not be able to test anything (though I am interested in general in what might have gone wrong). Thanks.February 7, 2025 at 2:16 pm #492217electrofix
Moderatorwell always first to check is the stat
but looks like the relay has been getting warm and you could have done continuity on the overloadif its a stat its cheapish to repair
anything else could be difficult or expensive
