Brand new Zanussi not working

[NinjaD]

Hi all,

I have recently moved into a flat that came with a brand new Zanussi ZRB229MWO which doesn't appear to be working. The flat was unattended for over a year before I moved in. So the kitchen appliances have been standing unused since Feb 2011 and only just switched on last week (25-Oct-12)

I've removed sticky tape from the water outlet and switched the fridge freezer to the maximum setting on the dial. It has been on for over 5 days in total now and it's still warm inside both compartments(fridge & freezer).

I've pulled the fridge out and looked at the back I can't see any obvious problems. When it's switched on I can hear a buzzing & also the fluid trickling around inside.

Things I've tried:
Turning it off at the mains and leaving it to stand for a while.
Turning it off and on a few times.

Any ideas? Have I missed something obvious in setting the machine up? Is there a way to reset the machine? I switched it off at the mains and left it to stand for an hour before switching it back on & still it stays warm inside.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply's

I can hear a buzzing noise which I assume is the compressor. It's frost free as it has never been used. I'm in NW London, although I have someone coming around Friday to look at it, I was hoping there would be a simple solution that I could do myself.

The motor appears to be the only part producing heat.

Hi Ninja

would be best to google Airkool Domestics and give them a buzz as they will give you an honest quote and let you know if its worth repairing or not .... they also do a disposal service on nearly new equipment as they can recycle some of the parts so you can do your bit to save the planet
