Hi Mate I have searched high and low for a serial number cant find it
just to add , the bloody thing stopped again the fridge bit was warm so I removed the panel inside the freezer and exposed the radiator which was covered in ice thawed it out using a hair drier now the fridge is cold again have checked since and it has started to ice up again , is this serious can an engineer repair or should i replace
thankyou for your reply

Without the model number so we can see what it is it’s nigh on impossible to say. 😕

It could be as simple as a duff thermistor or heater, which is likely, to something more sinister.

Re: Fridge / Freezer

hi is the noise like a clock if so maybe a noisy defrost timer

[johnuk]

Re: Fridge / Freezer

yeh it is kind of like a clock
would that be the cause of the problem
is that why the fridge after a few days begins to get warm

Re: Fridge / Freezer

I have been told that the reason the radiator gets iced up is because of faulty defrost imes , does that sound correct

Re: Fridge / Freezer

Hi John,

It’s all too likely that the defrost timer is the problem as they do fail and the defrost cycle doesn’t happen. It’s certainly the running favorite for being the culprit.

Defrost timer is here if you need one.

Re: Fridge / Freezer

Sorry , is that behind the panel in the freezer , is it easy to fit is there any soldering etc Thanku again for all ur help

[kwatt]

You should see it in a housing on the rear, again totally from memory as it’s a while since I’ve seen one and it’s just fitted with spade connectors.
