Hi
My fridge/freezer stops cooling. The ice trays would melt back to water. When I switch the power off and then back on, the cooling/freezing process begins and the ice trays start freezing. However after a few hours, the cooling stops as evidenced by the ice melting back to water.From various bits of research and chats, it looks like the problem may be to do with a heater, a thermal fuse or a defrost sensor.
Since this is happening at a very awkward time (with Covid-19) its understandably unlikely I’d get an expert to sort this out. I’m located near Mold and Chester, in North Wales.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how or if I should do this myself or should I just give up and get a new appliance?
Many thanks…

How old is the unit? And how confident are you with electrical testing?
