Brandt freezer seal broken

[jls]

Hi. Looking for some advice!
I have a Brandt fridge/ freezer and recently we’d noticed food being slightly defrosted, and thought we’d left the freezer door open slightly. On inspection today I noticed that the seal on the freezer door no longer ‘seals’ at the top i.e. there is a gap. We dont have a warranty on it. Do I need to call someone out to fix and if so who? Or can I order a seal myself? Brandt dont seem to have a website.
Any advice much appreciated!

It will probably mean a whole door I’m afraid 🙁

Model number please and I’ll check for you (it should be inside on a label somewhere.

Thanks for quick reply. Bad news though!
It’s a Frost Free combi fridge/ freezer (silver) CFA361XU purchased April 04

In true Brandt style, you can buy the seal but it’s a lot more expensive than the whole door 😆

Whole door – 43X9242 at £70.14 ex carriage
Door seal – 44X1623 at £97.62 ex carriage

Is there any excessive ice inside pushing the door away slightly by any chance ?

Great!
Do you think it’s the kind of thing we can order and fit ourselves or would it require an engineer?
Do you know how much ‘carraige’ charges are, and how much is labour (roughly)?
Will need to discuss with partner.
Thanks for your help.

I would think carriage would be around £12-£12 for the door, labour charges vary quite a bit to be honest.

If you’re thinking of using an engineer, it may be adviseable to ask that they attend before ordering to ensure this is the only problem.

Check the repairs@ link below, that should provide someone, rates can be discussed with them 🙂
