Hi all. Our fridge freezer seems to be failing gradually – we’ve noticed the food in the bottom of the freezer compartment defrosting, and the fridge is showing ‘too warm’ more than normal. compressor is very warm, pipe leading up to the main condenser is also warm but the condenser itself is not hot.
thermostat, compressor or gas, would you say? Worth calling out an engineer to fix or should I cut my losses and buy a new unit?
Almost certainly short of gas. It will need two things doing – recharging and find the leak. One of the fridge lads should be able to give you an approximate idea of cost.
Regards,

If the compressor is running continuously, which it sounds like as you say it’s very warm, it’s either a gas leak as Penguin says or the compressor is starting to fail.
A regass will cost around £80 (ish) and is not guaranteed to last as finding the leak will be virtually impossible as invariably it will be internal.
Compressor replacement, around the £200 mark.
Probably best looking for a replacement in my opinion.
Dave.

right…thanks for that advice. I’d better unleash the wife in a electrical superstore armed with a credit card.
