Re: Admiral fridge freezer

Hi guys,
I replaced the defrost heater as suggested and everything went well until last night. Now there is little or no cooling and the freezer has completely defrosted wasting another £200 quids worth of food.
There is a regular intermittent buzzing noise that lasts around 5 seconds (sounding every few minutes) coming from the unit.
Any ideas on what the new problem is?

Re: Admiral fridge freezer

Thanks Bob,

What would that cost to fix. The wifes going bananas. Would that be simple enough for a kitchen fitter/plumber like me?

Thanks guys for replying.

I haven’t had a chance to check for fluff yet.

Just got in and the wife has a container catching water from underneath the freezer door but the stuff inside is still frozen and the stuff in the fridge chiller is starting to freeze slightly, whilst the top of the fridge is not cold.

Something is whirring away quite loudly when you open the freezer door but I don’t know the difference between a compressor/freezer fan or freezer defrost heater noise.

Definitely snow behind the two lower baskets and the grilles have snow on them.

I take it that if the compressor had packed up nothing would be cold. So am I looking at a £300 fix or a £700 fix. That will make up my mind on whether to keep it or not.

Many thanks again,Mark
