Re: Help please Servis M7684S

i was guessing it would be a loss of gas

does it need to be refilled if the compressor is replaced

if it has lost gas am i to assume there is a leak

what would it cost to repair ?

is it something i can repair myself ?

You need a fridge engineer to recharge it as need the correct tools. You may get lucky and this is all you need. If its the compressor I would suggest it would cost you about £150-175 for the repair. The recharge probably £65ish

Yes but likely it is a very small leak that will not be detectable by a leak detector (obviously if it is detectable the engineer will repair the leak). The fact that the compressor is running does not mean it is actually pumping refrigerant around the system.
