I think you should get somene out to take a look before you go splashing out on a new one, most if not all faults on this appliance would be worth fixing. Click on the link below for “Find an engineer” to get a local independant to look at it for you.

The F/F you have is built like a tank and is probably better than a lot of the new so called US fridge freezers on the market that are made in Europe and the far east. Buying a side by side for £679 is asking for trouble IMO.

Apparently Admirqal dont make FFs any more so I have looked at Maytag.

I’ve heard they are one of the best and have found one at £848. Sounds good eh?

That`s the first i`ve heard about Admiral not producing anymore. Maytag
are part of the same group and will be finished to a higher spec.

Don

Cheers Don – will look at that one then.

Re: Admiral GC2027HXKW £679

Tried to order the Admiral, Ogormans told me that Admiral don’t make fridge freezers any more and the price on their website is therefore invalid!

Anyway, found a Maytag for £848 – I think they are just as good as Admiral.

Any comments?

The Admiral range of fridge freezers are always worth buying and at that price it`s a much better purchase than the Korean ones. Better be quick though as that reduction against the normal price of £949 is only while stocks last 😉 so get the plastic out and place your order it before it`s to late.

Don

Thanks Don – will speak to hubby about it and see if he has had a good day at the office!!! Will post results here.

Right I pulled off the grille at the bottom and hoovered the little bits of fluff that were in the condenser.

Left the freezer and fridge both on full power for about 2 hours only to find that it hasn’t made the slightest bit of difference!

Looks like it is on its last legs and I have therefore been trawling the internet for a new one.

I have found this:-

Sounds like a bargain at £679 – Admiral are a good make aren’t they?

Anyone have any comments? Would love to hear from you.

Thanks.

Nicki.

John

Thanks John.

Will try that and post results here.

Thanks again for your help – I just hope it works as I remember having the damn thing delivered and we had to remove a door frame in order for it to be brought in to the kitchen. If we need to replace it now that means removing the door frame again and we have just had the whole house refurbished!

The good thing is that the newer American Fridge Freezers are wide, taller, but less deep so they can fit through doors easily.

Hi John. Thanks for your reply.

At the front of the f/f or at the back? There is a white grille at the front and I’m assuming you mean that one?

Thanks again.
