Re: Electrolux fridge/freezer problem…

Spoke to a local engineer Tuesday (by phone). After hearing the symptoms and asking further questions he confirmed your thoughts that it was a restriction or refrigerant loss.
After discussing options and costs involved to repair have decided to dump it and go buy a new one.
Thank you all for your help.

Re: Electrolux fridge/freezer problem…

As this fridge/ freezer is out of warranty I decided this morning to switch off and remove the back panel inside the freezer. The top of the evaporator had a thick coating of ice the rest of it was not iced at all.
The condensor on the back of the fridge/freezer is cool except where the pipe exits the compressor which is very hot as is the compressor. Is this indicative of a restriction?
Is this likely to be an economic repair out of warranty?
