First post - be gentle with me!
Last night our Beko fridge/freezer was making odd noises - the compressor was running as usual but every time it went off there was a kind of popping, pinging noise. I was slightly concerned at the time, but this morning I went to get a couple of slices of bread and found them half defrosted.
OH said it was making the same popping noise before I got up, but now the compressor doesn't seem to be coming on at all - it will make a brief humming, then the pop/click/pinging sound. Could this be the death rattle of the motor and/or compressor? There's also a noise which is either dripping or bubbling - we can't quite decide which. There's no sign of any leaks.
I can't find any serial or model numbers on it, so all I can say is that it's a Beko fridge/freezer, and I reckon it was already old when I moved in here 6 years ago. Our landlord's usually great with these things, but there's not much even he can do on a Sunday!
