Just a footnote to this thread:
I contacted Trading Standards who suggested Comet are still liable for the appliance as it is only 15months old, an appliance of this nature should be expected to work for at least 3 years.

I then went back to Comet and complained who have now offered a new fridge of the same value, the original fridge model is no longer sold by Comet.

Comet had two fridges at around the same sort of price I originally paid, a Scandinova and a Hotpoint.

I ordered the Hotpoint which should arrive tomorrow.

Thanks again for the help,

I had a second opinion and this enginneer turned the fridge on and realised the compressor was not working so tested the gas pressure.

No gas pressure, so he pressurised the system and noticed a huge leak and suggested that the compressor has died due to a gas leak.
The leak is inaccessible and he advised a new fridge.

I have contacted comet again as I am not happy with the fridge dying after a few months out of warranty.

Comet have suggested they will pay for part of any repair work needed to the fridge.

Thanks again for all your help

Thanks for the help.

An engineer arrived took a look, hit the compressor with a hammer a few times?? and declared it dead.
£60.00 for that, now I have to find a new compressor and someone who wil fix it for under £150.00…

Thanks for the help.

I’ve tried the repairs@ but Scandinova is not listed in the manufactures drop down menu so I can not proceed.

Could they be referred to under a different name?

Thanks again.
