    It was noticed yesterday that the red light had come on so I looked at the instruction book which states that the temp is too high, the food had thawed out, but in the fast freeze compartment the food was more frozen than the rest?? In the fridge the temp seems as normal with the back freezing up then thawing out, then freezing up again, would this be right? The components at the back may be a little dusty, but there seems very little to fix, am I right in saying there is a thermostat and a motor, we can hear the motor kick in, so is the problem the thromstat and if so how is it only effecting the freezer, all help welcome 😀

    hi
    when the motor clicks in does it stay on for any length of time, if so it points to a probable problem with the gas side,leakage or more likely blocking up.Needs an engineer to sort out.

    No it does not stay on for a long amount of time, just the same as it always has been, so if that is not it what else could it be? Thanks

    I’ll also add that the casing of the motor seems to be quite hot, would this be due to the motor working overtime as the freezer is not freezing?

    Sounds like a classic compressor failure. 🙁
