It is an engineers job to replace it, but as it is 14 years old I would say it is beyond economical repair.

Which is why the environment is in such a state…

This is and was one of samsungs reliable models and probably why they stopped making it.

My nearest town is Mallaig or Fort William – any recommendations for local engineers..?
Typical of a manufacturer to stop making something… Our last fridge lasted 50 years! Then was replaced with this one.

If your compressor is cold to the touch, and there’s power to the display/interior light, then there’s a whole host of possible causes.
It is/was hot to touch and certainly no cooling in either fridge or freezer.
What are the options from here..?
Thank you all for the feedback so far. Great forum, and very helpful one from what I read of others issues. 🙂
Re: Samsung SR-L39
Possible..?
Any way of checking..? testing, other Signs…?
We are completely Off-Grid and also have no road access to property, only access is by boat. So getting an engineer to check both costly and not easy.
Although this is a 14 year old unit, it is in otherwise as-new condition, so would rather fix if possible rather than replace.
