Hi,
I posted this earlier but have just realised that I put it in the wrong section - sorry!
I own a rather old Candy fridge freezer (13 years old). I defrosted by simply switching it off for 10 hours. I have now switched it back on and the freezer works perfectly but the fridge is not working at all.
The unit is a single compressor and single thermostat type.
Thanks for your help.Last edited by chillin out; 11-08-2008 at 09:57 PM.

Re: Candy fridge freezer not working properly
Just some more info that may help....
When I touch the compressor is seems to be very hot, I can only touch it for a few seconds before it gets too hot to bare.

Re: Candy fridge freezer not working properly
Ok thanks. Maybe the fridge is fine, in 12 hours it has come down from 20C to 13C. The freezer got down to -18 in just a couple of hours so I thougth the fridge should be fast too.

Re: Candy fridge freezer not working properly
Thats it!!!
The fridge was empty, I checked for a leak and found the seal around the door is torn!
Thanks very much for your help.
