    You may remember that we had a problem last year see http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.p … highlight=

    Model no. etc is all there.

    Having finally got the fridge fixed last May (it was the PCB that was the problem) it has been working reasonably well…until this weekend.

    The fridge has defrosted completely and is not getting cold. The freezer appears to be working but not at the temperature it should be. Interestingly there are no error messages on the display panel so no clues from the machine as to what has gone wrong. However there was a sound like rushing water from the unit on Sunday. I have tried switching the unit off completely to see if the electrical controls need resetting but it makes no difference.

    Grateful for any clues as to what may have gone wrong and whether it is repairable. If it is the PCB again I guess as the current PCB is less than a year old it might be under guarantee, however that would still leave us with a callout charge. The temptation is to scrap it and buy a new machine. I do feel three and a half years with one major repair already is a poor performance. I’m not impressed with Hoover and won’t be buying that make again. Suggestions more more reliable makes in same price range appreciated.

    Thanks

    It sounds like a possible defrost error, ice blocking the air ducts.

    Try defrosting it for 24 hours and see what happens, if that doesn’t cure it, calling APG back to have a look would be the best course of action I think 🙂

    Thanks Dave, we’ll give the defrost a go and post how we get on.

    An amazing twist! We had decided to do the defrost over the weekend, when we would have cleared food out the freezer, but magically after 5 days the fridge has started to work again. I suspect you diagnosis was correct and it had defrosted sufficiently of its own accord.

    We’ll see how things go. Thanks again for your help.
