Ah, OK Dave. Will start making some calls.

Thanks for all the advice again!

Unfortunately I have well and truely defrosted it but it’s still chugging away relentlessly!

No chance of my thermostat being the culprit Dave?

And here was I naively thinking any integrated fridge-freezer would fit! Hmmm, sounds like it’s time to do some homework…

Dave, it seems more than cold enough in the fridge-freezer even on setting 1, (I think colder than it normally is on that low setting), and so in theory the thermostat should switch off I would have thought… would you still rule the thermostat out? As you can tell, I would much prefer it to be the thermostat as it is easy to get to and can’t be too expensive!

As a last point, the fridge freezer door was left slightly ajar for a day very close to me noticing this problem… I guess this could have started the problem?

Thanks for the info so far Dave!!

Hi Dave

Thanks for the quick reply. You seem quite sure it’s not the thermostat, is that because it is turning itself ON without a problem?

It seems I either pay £50 call out plus parts and VAT if it can be fixed (I’ll guess a part is £100 minimum) or just go buya new one! I think to only get 5 years out of my unit is a bit poor though!

Oh yeah, for the record it uses R600a, and the interior light comes on fine. There seems to be a light (less than 1mm) build-up of ice on the back wall of the fridge… I honestly can’t remember if this is normnal or not.

Thanks
