Think I probably need an engineer (any ideas where I can find one?) but the fridge part of our fridge freezer suddenly stopped working (yet light still on). It’s only 2 years old.
Can’t find instruction manual either (any ideas how I can get one?).
many thanks in advance for any help!

Try repairs at to the left which will give you a selection to choose from. All have signed up to a quality of service charter. Sounds like you are short of refrigerant or have a duff compressor. If you need ask for a verbal estimate before they come

sounds like defrost problem probably defost sensor but heaters and thermal fuses would need to be checked what postcode i will probably know an engineer in that area
Re: Schreiber APM 6855 fridge freezer
I have had problems with this same friedge freezer for about a year now (it’s about 3 years old) – I keep defrosting it and then the fridge part works again for a couple of months, and then the problem repeats itself.
I’ve organised for the engineer to come from Howdens/MFI for about £80 callout and I’m now wondering if I shoudl just order a new fridge altogether. Having read the reviews about this fridge model it sounds like the problem is recurring and it’s generally a faulty model.
Can anyone advise what to do about this. Either an alternative model of the same size which has a better track record (and soemone who could provide and install this in the SW London area) or to repair it. I woudl happily pay the callout charge if I thought it would work long term but I’m cynical based on what I’ve read about this model.
thanks, in advance.

Re: Schreiber APM 6855 fridge freezer
What you will find is that the back of the frezer has iced up, stopping the flow of air to the fridge. You will have to turn it off for 24 hours with the door open to allow it to defrost, or after turning it off, carefully remove the freezer back panel and defrost it manually. To do this remove all the baskets, swivel the ends of the runners so they come off, then release the tabs on the back panel righthand side and top to ease it out. There is a fan conected to the back panel. The connector is behind the small round thing in the back panel. Remove all the panels and you should see the cooling element. Use a hairdryer to defrost it in about 30 mins.
The usual reason it frosted up is that a door was left ajar.
