Is it lighting up inside if it is then its not the fuse in the plug .Still lighting up then prob the thermostat if so not worth spending money on. Hope its not lighting up then its only fuse in plug.:hihi:

Get someone to help you turn it upside down for 10 mins because the pipework at the back gets blocked with bits of gunge turn it back and try again , told by a refridgerator engineer

No it's lit up.

[clipper6728 10]

Turn it off, then turn it back on again!

Give a few more details and someone on this forum maybe able to help??

Mine wasn't keeping things chilled properly and thermostat reading well above normal. Someone suggested trying to poke the small drainage hole inside the fridge with a very thin straw. Ta da! It worked as bits of crumbs had blocked inside and the fridge :thumbsup:started to work perfectly after.

Is it a frost-free type for the freezer section? Has the motor stopped altogether? If you contact anyone you will need the model No. type etc.

 

Ace Domestics s6 are recommended.

 

Sometimes, if its a frost-free type, switching it off overnight can re-set the electronics etc. Difficult though if you have it full.

Get a repairman to come out, take a look at it and then get an estimate. If the cost of repair exceeds 60 percent of the replacement cost junk it and get a new one

Ive pulled it out and layed it down but it's too heavy to get the bottom in the air.
