    Hi,

    I have had a Bosch Exxcel Fridge Freezer since 2004, it has been running fine until a few days ago. It started making a high pitched buzzing sound for about 10 seconds then stop and repeat after a while. Today the temperature dropped in the fridge part followed later by with the freezer compartment, also a red light appeared on the freezer settings side. I have turned the machine off and emptied the contents while leaving the doors open to defrost.

    I just wondered if anyone recognised the symptoms and if it was easy to fix? I’m not keen to spend the cash calling out an engineer if it is not worth repairing.

    Thanks

    The buzzing sound sounds like the Compressor has seized making it BER. ( beyond economical repair )

    Leave it off for 24 hours with the doors open to let the compressor cool down.

    Turn it on again and see if the compressor starts when it has cooled down.

    If it still buzzes then it looks like it’s time to get a new fridge.

    Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I will cross my fingers and turn it back on tomorrow to test it.

    If it fails would a Liebherr be a better option then going for another Bosch as I hear that they are not as good as they once were?
