Hey all, I was just in the kitchen cleaning my glasses after sanding down 4 walls in a room, the fridge compressor kicked in, then about 10 or 20 seconds later there was a fairly faint but noticeable *Pop* *Fizz* - the fridge sounded like a load of refrigerant boiling off in a burst in the evaporator, signs of problems ahead?

It's a fairly old built-in unit, probably 10 years old, in 2003 I went in underneath and hoovered out a metric ton of dust balls sitting in the condenser coils which improved the efficiency vastly, so its probably time I did this again.

Cheers!
