Balls…
two weeks after getting the FF fixed and the refrigerant replaced… its doing the same thing again. 🙁I can only assume that there is still a leak and hence the fault has reoccurred. I how have some lovely toxic refrigerant gas floating oround my flat. Great.
That’ll explain the headaches then!!
Looks like i’ll have to get a whole new Fridge after all….Re: Servis M7054
You might wanna look at this thread.
Sounds like you have asimilar fault to mine…. a refrigetrant gas leak… (but I’m no expert!!! )
Re: Servis M7554 Running Constantly
Right, problem fixed.
I called this bloke out, He was in the phone book under “Refrigerator Repairs” I picked him purely because he is located only round the corner from where I live.
I explained the problem, and that I had replaced my thermostat to no avail. He looked and saw that there was Ice at the top of the fridge section, and sussed out that I may have a refrigerant-gas leak, or that my pressure was too low.
So, he got out his welding set, and his gas caniser and fixed her up. Bobs your uncle … one fixed fridge.
FF is now running normally and switching on/off through the cooling cycle.
So, what are your thoughts on the charges below:
Time for the job: 45 mins
Call out fee: £25
Parts and Labour: £62
Total cost: £87I think that was fair and reasonable. Saved myself from having to pay around £300 for a new fridge freezzer, the bloke had about 40 years in the refrigeration trade and was chatty and friendly. He seemed honest and professional.
Thanks for all the help again.

8)yep.
I have replaced the thermostat and still have a problem. 😥
Fridgeman999 and robinsonrobbo, indeed ice is forming at the top part of the back wall of the fridge section.
What can/should i do? Or should i just get an engineer out? What is the cost of repair likely to be?
Anyone know of a decent Servis repairman in Belfast?
F-man.
Re: Servis M7554 Running Constantly
Ok,
just been home and checked out my thermostat. There doesn’t appear to be a part number on it, although it does have the GE (General Electric) symbol on it and the following numbers….
GE
526012403
3ART229A52
3-4 6(6)/250 ~The SN of the appliance is 20013709940 038214003 03 01 .
Any help would be appreciated….
Thanks…Flarko 8)
Cheers…. bloody t’internet. Its always difficult to put whats in my head into the post in an easily understandable way! 🙂
Don’t have the serial number at the moment. I’m at work… I’ll check when i get home later and post then.
Thanks again,
Mr F
Erm… I’m confused….
The thermostat simply switches the compressor off when the fridge reaches the correct temperature.
The fridge is at the correct temperature (or it at least reaches the correct temp and cools beyond it) … but the thermostat relay isn’t switching the compressor off. That would indicate to me that the thermostat is faulty….surely?
