Re: Proline Fridge/Freezer Help Please

Just one final question before I rip my hair out (if I had any) and send this to the local tip (if they will actually take it).

Over the weekend I reassembled the unit and gave it a good clean and thought I’d just give it another go. Switched it on and away she went. The freezer worked fine and the fridge started cooling so I just left it running for a couple of days.

Everything seemed to be working fine, but before I brought it back into the kitchen, I thought I test it by putting a bottle of water in the fridge and a plastic container full of water in the freezer.

During the day yesterday, the water in the fridge cooled nicely and the water in the freezer froze normally. I thought ‘bingo’ – sorted. But no! When I got up this morning the freezer had defrosted and the water in the fridge, although cool, was not has cold has yesterday.

Does this still indicate that the compressor is pumping ‘weak’? Just thought I’d ask before disposing of this, if I can find somewhere who will take it?

Thanks K for the reply

We have only had it around 15 months so I didn’t just want to scrap it. I understand the safety features but just thought I’d begin by checking if the compressor or thermostat was at fault first.
