Beko frost free freezer/fridge help needed

[paul_h]

OK, some readings.
Some kind of heating element inside the bottom - 2k - I assume is OK.

The two wires that go onto the ends of the heat exchanger coil - 373ohms (actually only 1 wire onto each end and not 2 as I said earlier - sorry but only just unplugged it)

The 4 wire device clipped to the heat exchanger - 2 blue wires dead short - 2 white wires O/C.

Cooling fan runs. Compressor runs and gets hot, with some frost forming (around the inlet?) Still gurgles. I think it's broke

That's all OK then. Drain heater is 2kohms, coil heater is 373ohms, thermal fuse is 0ohms, klixon is open circuit (closes below 0celcius), opens to end defrost.
if it was 0 kpa/psi pressure, then you had a refrigerant leak or blockage like the engineer said. I would have suggested throwing the fridge away and still charged you $120 for the call out anyway.

I'd have been happy with that too, but £100 is $200. Thank you for you help on the values of the other parts - I do appreciate it.
