    I have a Servis fridge freezer that had a freezing problem in so much as it was freezing but not enough. The fridge was fine. I switched it off for 24 hours to allow it to defrost and the freezer now works fine but the fridge has not cooled at all and is room warm. Any suggestions please ?

    Could you post the serial number on this one please as there are a number of different versions. This is located on the left hand inner liner near the salad draw.

    Serial is 20024817159-038077061-03. The lhs inside wall is warm to touch and there is a slight gurgling noise from the inside. Thanks.

    Please check this again – does it have a gurgling sound or is it a hissing sound. If it is a gurgling after it has been running for afew minutes then you probably have a shortage of gas or a defective compressor. Both these need the services of a fridge engineer. If its just a hissing then report back 😕

    Hi, it was a gurgling sound. I switched it off for an hour last night then checked it again this morning and it’s all working fine ! Will leave it for a few days and if it’s still ok will just forget about it. Any ideas what it could have been ?

    Note! I’m NOT a Whitegoods engineer, so don’t assume this post is “informed” or “accurate” 😆

    could be an”airlock”…not an accurate description, ‘cos it’s gas and not air, but the fridge compresses gas until it becomes liquid….then allows it to turn back to gas…..when you get a slug of liquid (there’s also oil sealed in the circuit) with gas bubbling through……GURGLE!
    sounds like something was trapped in the circuit and it all drained to the right place when you left it unplugged.

    above is a highly simplified description,but gives the “gist” of how it works and the “explanation is just a wild guess 😉

    it’s become unreliable. The fridge is now warm all of the time. Think it’s time for a new one !

    sounds like your “gurgling “was the gas leaking out 🙁
